Brent Barry could sprint past most players and jump over them, but you never heard him described as a superathlete. | ||

Not that it's an better in England, but I like to think that the media are further away from constant jibber jabber about race issues. They tend to flare up from time to time in the press, and then disappear just as quickly. Seems like the more worrying issues in England are crime, schooling, taxes etc; and no one has time to bicker about the colour of their skin. Well we've had a much more recent and brutal past with the race issue. The Civil War only made the issue subside for a couple of decades, after Reconstruction it picked up again well into the 20th century. There'd probably be much less racial tension if we'd lost the Revolutionary War.  That said, the UK and Europe has its own issues with discrimination and bigotry, especially with Muslims. In that regard, MUCH more assimilation has occurred in the US than over there. | ||

Writer should be detatched from the subject? idunno. Read more Whitlock. The dude is totally racist against black people, and he is black. | ||

edit: well actually it's not that i don't want to hear "blacks are being fucked" period. It's just that it's annoying when the writers make it sound like they're getting fucked too and they're opressed etc. although they really prolly are being opressed. | ||

Smith, Scoop Jackson, or that woman whose name I don't remember b/c her writing isn't that hot, it's always written by black writers. Obviously it's b/c they are more sensitive to racial issues and perhaps have more of an eye for it, or perhaps their editors tell them to write things like that b/c their prose will be more tolerated than that of a white counterpart. I wish there were some sort of semblance of balance b/w the various ethnicities w/ regards to race as a subject for a piece, b/c as it is, it's really rather ... petty. That's the American media for you. They're convinced that if they run enough stories about imagined racial injustices, the gods of multiculturalism will resurrect Frederick Douglas to give them a slap on the back and a hearty "it's all good!". | ||
