    The fat man would really make his intended impact if he had anything to say.

    Even his longtime readers tire of him.

    Maybe ESPN will come calling.

    Oh, yeah, RIGHT.

    Read the column and think headline "The Black KKK" is apt and not misleading as Whitlock states in his KC column.

    In KC column Whitlock writes :

    The story isn’t about the Black KKK. The words do not appear in the 5,000-word column. None of the sources quoted in the story or spoken to on background ever heard those words come out of my mouth, and they never spoke them to me. The story isn’t about hip-hop killing Black America.

    In opening of Playboy story Whitlock writes :

    "How did we get here? How did we become so embarrassingly violent? How did black kids wearing white t-shirts learn to mimic the behavior of white men wearing white hoods."

    He does not mention black KKK but he certainly implies it.
