Jalen Rose Apologizes For Saying Rob Gronkowski Was White Boy Wasted

Gronkowski would have definitely been crucified for it and the usual suspects of Jackson, Sharpton and JealousBUT neither Jalen’s comments or the hypothetical Gronkowski should be forced to apologize. What in the world is wrong with our society where someone cannot even mention the skin color of another human being? Jalen’s comments weren’t intended with malice. No American should be threatened with public scorn and ridicule for simply mentioning the race of another individual. No American should be forced to temper their language simply because a “cabal” of 3 or 4 people (ie those mentioned above) claim to sit as judge and jury of all things race related. No! Those 3 or 4 people should be the ones who are put in their place for seeking out racial animosity and prejudices where none exist at the expense of true racial inequality. Those 3 or 4 individuals are the ones who should be shunned by decent society for seeking profit off the stain on our country’s soul that is slavery and race relations. Those racial profiteers know that it is not in their best interest to have a post-racial America for a post-racial America would render them unnecessary and unable to make money preying on others. If we are ever to see a truly post-racial America, and I believe it can one day occur, then we not only need to stop believing that we have the right to not be offended by someone’s language, we also need to learn the difference between mentioning race and “racist” rhetoric. We also need to have the courage to occasionally call our own children ugly and speak up when individuals and groups such as Eric Holder and the DOJ publicly, and very candidly, acknowledge that it is DOJ policy to refuse to prosecute discrimination or intimidation cases when the perpetrator is of color (See Black Panther voter intimidation case). People such as these believe that an injustice in today’s world rights another, historical injustice. If this is our policy going forward then unfortunately America will never, ever, be considered “post-racial”.

I guess for tight asses it is
