I read a lot of opinion pieces so I thought I would share some of the columnists I read on a regular basis.Cynthia Tucker of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution talks about Black victims of crime and their invisibility.
Stanley Crouch of The New York Daily News talks about being a victim from a different angle.
Jemele Hill of ESPN is an amazing columnist whose commentary bridges the gap between sports and society. In this column Jemele talks about the recent comments by Basketball legend Isiah Thomas about his use of derogatory terms aimed at Black women.
John McWhorter writing for the New York Sun talks about exposing bigotry and the Jena 6.
Betty Bayé of the Courier-Journal in Louisville, Kentucky talks about so-called comedian Eddie Griffin and his recent performance before a Black business group in which he uses the N word. She adds some historical contest as well.
Shanna Flowers of the Roanoke Times in Virgina re-examines Bill Cosby's controversial remarks of a few years ago about a segment of the African American population.
Tonyaa Weathersbee who writes for Jacksonville Florida's The Times-Union reminds us that other groups deal with stereotypes as well.
Michelle Malkin is a syndicated columnist who I generally think has zero talent as a writer, her claim to fame is mainly that she is a somewhat attractive parrot for some sections of the conservative movement in America. However I read her columns because it's good to know what the conservative party line is at the moment. In this piece Michelle drones on in a faux patriotic tone (as only conservative hacks can do) about actress Sally Fields recent anti-war remarks at the Emmy awards.
Enjoy!
