September's Sit Your Ass Down Award: Special Edition

I know this usually comes a little later in the month, and I assure you that you are going to get one at the end of the month. But what came across the timeline just had to be addressed.
This is Jason Whitlock.
Beware of men with no facial hair.
Now this wingding who often rocks fedoras in a feeble attempt to hide the fact his head has identical characteristics and composition as that of a melted milk dud is a talking head over at Fox Sports One. In addition to that he has been Colin Kaepernick hater number one. In fact it's all he talks about. And on Labor Day he thought it would be down right HILARIOUS to send out this image from his lightly watched TV show.
So no one thought this would end poorly?

Sigh.

You see Jason Whitlock is what happens when someone so badly wants to be recognized as a legitimate intellectual that they are willing to spout anything for a pat on the head and an "atta boy." You can tell that by his I  guess you can call it feuds with people who are actually respected like Bomani Jones and Ta Nehisi Coates. (Although not sure it can be regarded as a feud if neither of the other party even acknowledges your existence.) Side note: Bomani Jones earned my forever respect for the class he showed when out of nowhere he drew the ire of Ol' Shitlock.





Seriously look at the people co-signing this jester for mediocrity ridiculous ass claims such as the "left" sent Kaepernick to ruin football because it was making too many young black men rich and famous. This is a thing that he believes.

He has positioned himself as the guy who when someone says something fucked up racially and they say they have a black friend, he's that black friend. Someone so desperate to be seen as important that he has seemingly mortgaged his soul to create this anti-black brand and finally be looked at as someone worthy of respect.

This bulging wart on the ass of American broadcast journalism, has spent the last year running down anyone who speaks on topics remotely racial. When LeBron James had "nigger" spray painted on his house, Whitlock said it had nothing to do with race because LeBron is rich. The literal example of something being racist and he can't take his gravy filled jowels out the ass of white supremacy long enough to admit it.

And by having this caricature of Kaepernick on his show, a man who took a stand by taking a knee he showed just what he is about. Here is a man who has donated time, money, and spearheaded efforts to actually help the community and in the process is having his career sabotaged while Whitlock has spent his time on twitter proclaiming Kap isn't black enough and over using phrases such as "okey-doke" and "mainstream media."

So from everyone of us who have yet to achieve to ascend to his post-racial level, I politely ask you to in the wise words of the sage Black Dynamite:
