		<description>Thanks y'all.  The key to sanity is to exclude these people from your lives.  When you catch a glimpse of the Perpetual Perp Walk in Black Face, turn the CHANNEL or better yet --- HIT THE POWER.  

Everyone is doing their job -- and the job of folks who moralize about athletes is to ignore your pleas for balance and equity.  Their job is to continue to provide those images so that the Pawns in the Game (Dylan) continue to derive psychic satisfaction from not being nigras.  When the middle-class white guy actually realizes that the overwhelming majority of athletes are not whom they've been led to believe they are - that inflated sense of racial ego will depart faster than fast.  In an ideal world, they'd shift their animus from the Black entertainment to the "in-the-black" ownership who manipulate cities and states for sweetheart deals that erode the tax base.

But then -- if they did that, they truly would not be American.  That's what makes this country great.  Folks with money can tell consumers anything (as long as there is a way to demonize the help).  You can do that and go straight to the bank -- all day, every day.  And in that respect, you can be Black, white, pink or purple.  It works as well for Pat Buchanan as for Thomas Sowell as for Roger Goodell or David Stern or Bud Selig.</description>
