I was once again allowed to write a piece for the NY Post about the overreaction to Saquon Barkley playing golf with the President.
Enjoy!
Adam, finally got to this. A couple of posts back I characterized a post you’d written as your best ever. Move over. This is brilliant and insightful in every way, well written and superbly accurate. If you applaud Jalen Hurts action you must logically applaud Barkely’s action unless you disagree with the substance. And if the problem is substance then confine your criticism to why he’s wrong. Don’t make what are essentially ad hominem attacks of the messenger by saying demeaning things like “He’s out of his depth.” Apparently if he had done as Hurts did he would be “in his depth?”
This is my favorite gem from this column although the column is FULL of other gems. Had a hard time picking out the “best” because they’re all so good:
“ Their constant expectation, freely expressed, is that black men must remain subordinate to a race-centered dogmatic worldview.”
Just brilliant. Thank you for this one.
"To the left, it’s very clear there are only two types of acceptable black men: those who remain silent and do as they’re told, and those who loudly and effeminately defend a downtrodden ideology that infantilizes us."
Really well written.
There is another dimension here, which is that even if you vehemently disagree with or even dislike someone, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be willing to exchange ideas or disagreements with civility. How otherwise will Trump meet with Putin, or Schumer with Rand Paul? Implicit in this toxicity is a one-party totalitarianism that believes only their uni-party has the right to rule. That is the opposite of democratic, and the antithesis of our nation's history. Hopefully more Americans -- black and white -- will see this toxic race hate for what it is, and walk away.
