Whitlock on Reid

^ha!
Normally I don’t read Whitlocks’ stuff in its entirety, and usually the comments he generates are MUCH more entertaining than what he writes. The people who generally hate him the worst are also his biggest fans when he’s shitting on OJ, Ron Mexico, Kobe, etc (read:Black folk). But as soon as he starts talking about 70%ers (70 percent of the population…White people, duh), those same chubby chasers that would ask Whitlock for autographs when he’s on their side blasting Blacks are the same losers who want him fired when he talks about they peoples.
“But White sports figures aren’t required to have a social conscience. They can satisfy themselves chasing supermodels and filming cute commercials. America’s morally bankrupt war on drugs, a cause that has killed and destroyed more lives than Vietnam and Iraq combined, has finally put Andy Reid’s kids on the front lines (incarceration), and Andy Reid doesn’t have a damn meaningful thing to say about it.”
^100% accurate. I actually agree with this article, and I’m not really surprised that 70’s get angry when their particular biases are exposed. I have to admit that I’m pretty tired of his deck beginning to ONLY hold race cards, but I guess that’s the little niche that he’s wedged himself into. Everyone’s gotta eat I guess.
“I liked being the rich kid in that area and having my own high-status life,” Garrett Reid told a probation officer, according to reporters covering his court proceedings. “I could go anywhere in the ‘hood. They all knew who I was. I enjoyed it. I liked being a drug dealer … These kids were scared of me. I was even selling to their parents.”
I’m used to White kids riding through and picking up their various illegal fixes from ghettos once their prescriptions get low and their parent’s liquor is on empty, but the audacity of Reid’s kids is pretty appalling. Andy Reid is up there for the inagural ’shitty dad of the year’ award. Apparently financing a viable drug operation and enabling your sons to abuse their RWB (Rich White Boy, duh!) status isn’t as egregious as I thought it should be. Where’s the outrage here?
I guess you have to fight dogs to make headlines anymore…

This is a FIREWORKS drop. I want to run this on my page or some variation thereof. I’m watching the Eagles/Pats right now and this drop is so relevant. Al Michaels makes jokes about Vick, but nothing about Andy Reid’s illseeds.
What you got for me F?
