My thoughts exactly... literally

Several days ago, I blogged about two members of the "Jena 6" being rewarded with a trip to, and an appearance on the BET Awards. A radio host and columnist named Mychal Massie had very similar thoughts and even a similar headline: Beat Whitey - Get a Reward! Since I only do this as a labor of love, and Mr. Massie receives an income to do the same thing, I thought you might like to hear his comments on this travesty as well. He goes a little more in depth than I do, and he also gets a lot more nasty about it too, since he is black himself and hates to see what is happening to his heritage. Here is the first paragraph to wet your whistle:

Be a black thug – beat a white student senseless – you and your families get rewarded with an all-expense-paid "getaway for a relaxing weekend" while they watch you hand out awards on BET to a standing ovation. After all, six black thugs damn near killing a "white boy" in an unprovoked, cowardly attack can be tiring and stressful. But be a black student who works hard, gets good grades, speaks proper English, refuses to stoop to the lowest common denominator, and you are accused of "acting white...."

Amen!

Good Day to You, Sir
