That makes a lot of sense coming from him and/or Bernstein

It partially explains their joy at pointing out stupidity

Sherman liked it enough to retweet it.

Cant blame him

I've never had a single thought about that guy. Now I have several reasons to dislike him.

I'm still undecided on Sherman until I can see his reaction from the mouth shot he's going to get sooner or later.

The interview that launched a thousand "why everyone in America is scared of powerful black men, except me, the writer, of course" articles.

So true and so sad.

The "I have a black friend" badge is very lame and this is so much worse.

Has he ever written anything that goes against Bernsy?

Somehow I'm fairly certain that those who didn't like what Sherman did have no idea where he went to college or if he graduated or not.

He IS an actual fan of hip hop and not being a poser, but still this is just a cringe inducing way to start an article...

So I’m listening to A Tribe Called Quest’s “Buggin’ Out” yesterday,

When I think of white guys who are in touch with black culture, I think of Beverly.

I almost spit out my craft beer when I read this, so matter-of-factly does he tout convention.

Also, "admit that successful rich people are indeed superior to you in every possible way" just might out-Bernstein Bernstein.

Agreed, Doc. I think everyone has grown up with and gone to H.S. and college with athletes who were also good students, so why would "we" think, unless given a reason, that "we" are intellectually superior to athletes? Just a guess, but I'll bet several of the people falling over themselves to writes these types of articles pointing the finger at everyone else think that way.

You know who else is probably that kind of person? Bernstein. I'm sure there are a few people here who remember him challenging Raymont Harris to a game of Scrabble. Bernsie didn't think a big, blaque, stud of a football player from a...*shudder*...state school could beat a product of privileged white America and THE Duke university at a game that depends on mental rather than physical agility.

And as RPB mentioned, starting of this kind of article with "So I’m listening to A Tribe Called Quest’s “Buggin’ Out” yesterday"
as a way of letting everyone know that "Hey, I'm not a racist! I like the hippity-hop music!" is cringe inducing.

I didn't see this while scrolling through the thread the first time. That really is the perfect description of all this hollow nonsense.

So many people demand their sports consumption fit in a comfy little box. It's weird and a bit sad.

just like their pizza

How do people like TFM get to be Bernstein's pet? He likes hearing from them it seems, but to me they'd be the people Bernstein would call sad and pathetic mouth breathing idiots.

Agree with him and consistently re state his positions with an occasional big word and you're in
