How many race cards are in Freeman's deck?

That all depends on how many more articles he writes before CBS cans him for being an idiot.

"I thought the media had gotten beyond the "black-guy-talented, white-guy-tough" silliness, but the coverage around Hansbrough demonstrates maybe we haven't. "

He must have been the first person to notice that the media has gotten over the "black-guy-talented" thing because I haven't noticed that.

BUT, OH MY GOD, YOU MUST HATE BLACK PEOPLE!  BECAUSE THE ONLY REASON ANYBODY WOULD EVER DO ANYTHING IS BECAUSE THEY'RE RACIST!

or maybe he just sucks.  i'm pretty sure he can't tell the difference.

He is not going to be fired. He can write about whatever he wants. Your petition will change nothing.

Whether you want to hear about race issues or not, they still exist. Maybe that is why it bothers you so much. It's like watching Maury's lie detector shows with your girlfriend after she finds out you cheated. Just uncomforatable.

It's ok though. You tell me what should be done. Should everyone just shut up about it, and that will make it all better.

DonPappiRon,

It doesn't help solve a problem by complaining about it constantly and that's what Freeman does.  He takes EVERYTHING and makes it a race issue.  He actually makes the problem worse because people who are willing to listen just say "well here he goes again."  The fact is that the Hansbrough situation has nothing to do with racism.  It has to do with the fact that Hansbrough is an above average talent playing at an exceptional level because of an insanely good work ethic.

There are people who ignore that there's racism, but most of the time those are the people causing the problem in the first place.  The point is that making everthing a race issue turns it into a joke.  I think Mike Freeman is the most pathetic author on this website, not because he's willing to tackle issues and makes me uncomfortable, but because he's sees these issues in circumstances where they don't actually exist.

White people is crazy yo!  I'm just glad I can go to an all black school in Daytona Beach and there will NEVER be a day when whites can go to an all white school because that would be racist fo real!  And what's wrong wit a little crack now and then.?.?.?.?.?.  Chris Paul would've been the face of college basketball, but he was smart enough to go to the money.  You go to college to learn and gain knowledge to later make more money.  He was smart enough to leave.... he can afford Wake Forest later!   Bethune-Cookman in da hizouse!  If Tyler was black, his mark-self would go pro next year and make that money!  Money makes the world go round.   $$$$$$$

Now, now Freeman -- when you're not happy about something that only a thin majority could view as even remotely racial -- and you don't have the skill, talent, facts, resources, etc., to immediately change it to your liking -- you need to overcome that Pavlovian reflex of yours to cry "boo hoo he's white" -- try to wipe the slobber off your chin before punching out your next article on race.  I bet you landed a job or two because you're black.  Clearly there are droves of white writers, who are vastly more talented than you, with lesser jobs.  Playing the race card in this case really shows you to be a columnist without critical thinking skills -- ring-a-ling, ding, ding.
