Pitts Targeted by White Supremacists

A terrible, frightening story.

Hmm...I wonder if the Black KKK targeted Whitlock.....

 

Sadly, not surprising.

As for Mr. White and his 280-knucklehead-strong "national" party, the world would be a better place without them in it.

 

Bad news. Anyone have a link to the column in question? The last line alone is certain to draw ire, whether it's valid or not.

Do you honestly not know?

 

The last line is incendiary if one disconnets the dots written in the article which lead up to that last line.

Unfortunately, too many people subscribe to that type of selective skimming and allow one "line" or "comment" to embody the article

 

Here is the SportsJournalists.com thread on the June 3 column:

Check with these kids. Maybe they know.

The subject line has the words "white supremacists," and the Google ad I'm looking at on this page is an offer to receive Ann Coulter's "articles" free by e-mail. I know it will change after I refresh the page, but I found that interesting.

 

Sorry, but the last line was sure to piss off the people (nutjobs, IMHO) to whom Pitts was sending the message.

Had I written the column I might have used a similar statement to summarize my feelings on the matter.

But do you think the intention of that line was to make nice?
