dont ask me to explain, maybe it was the meds or lackofbooze....but i found myself watchin espn last night and their two hour town hall style discussion about the black athlete in todays world.......first off john calipari is a dirtbag, pandering to and catering to these wonderful Mamas and Grandmas that raise these boys he recruits, how much stronger they are because of their grandmas......kinda made u wanna give your first born to this whitey who speaks the truth......he went on to explain why his graduation rate sucks and how he has a "Money" talk with his kids that turn pro at 19........then there was Randy Shannon....a deer in the headlights....still not sure what he was trying to say....Jalen Rose was honest, he said at Michigan they used to joke that the white guys on the team were only there for free throw percentage and to boost graduation rates... Craig Willburn made the best point of the night when talking about the NCAA trying to force kids to stay in school or at least spend a year in school before joining the NBA and how many in the black community think that is racist...."Only in this country could we view education as an impediment to success"....so true.......Robin Roberts was acting half white and half black, she could not make up her mind...acting all serious , then laughing and talking slang and jive , calling Marion Jones a sister and boogeying across the stage.....surreal.....
But Spike Lee stole the show.....mumbling and stumblimg all night....loosing his train of thought.....fading in and out....trailing off mid sentence, forgetting peoples names......made zero sense....bizaro....reminded of louis farakhan and the million man march....more like 300,000 but still a captive audience ( and thankfully nobody missed work that day).....and farakhan decides to talk about space aliens...
they kept harping about racism, and the Q surveys that rank the least liked players and how most of them are black.......but they failed to touch on the obvious...
case in point....I am a knick fan....i liked Lebron James....i thought he was a decent guy in cleveland, i would have liked to see him on the knicks....i rooted for the Cavs when they reached the NBA finals....all the while fully knowing that he was BLACK..........then came the decision.....his natl TV Fiasco when he announced he would be taking his talents to south beach....NOW ? i hope he nevers wins a title....WHY ? because i think he's an arrogant, immature, jerkoff......i know he's still black, and that has nothing to do with it........sports is about allegiances, if i had a problem with black athletes I'd spend all my time watching Hockey and Organizing Hockey Parties.....OK Bad Example.....but you get the point.

The letter was captivating...
