Costas Now did a show on sports and the media, a subject I enjoy. Oy. The last 15 minutes focused on racism. The introductory segment seemed to indicate that we'd be focusing on how a largely white media fails to adequately understand and cover the modern black athlete. Costas decided to make the segment, instead, about how white reporters cannot call out black athletes for being thugs, even though we all know they're thugs, because the reporters will be called racists.
Don't even want to get started on the "bloggers" segment.

Welcome to our new "conversation" about race in this country. Fan-freakin'-tastic.
yeah, it's a bizarre twist on every intro-level conversation about relativism i've ever had.
1) obama explains the cultural-historical context in which white ethnics could come to feel hostility toward affirmative action and people of color, so
2) white ethnics go right along being hostile, and feel justified for it. that's who "they" "are."
