only one thing left to ask: is Jason Whitlock his real gub'ment name? lol
CTFU. Yes, Jason Whitlock is the gentleman's real gubmint name, as far as I know.

JW can spread his message to a lot of our institutions if he chooses to do so. As you're aware, not everyone in the AfAm community is a straight up and down leftist. There are people in the center (as I am) and even on the right.

And it's true that pure columnists are paid to get people talking. I write a column as part of my reporting duties, but I make sure that I keep myself out of it because it's more of a news roundup thing.
