Guilty.
If I’m being honest.

Now explain Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Barack Obama, Ben Crump, etc.
He says this but theres clearly a select group of individuals who are allowed to be the "spokesperson" for all black people.

They aren’t allowed to be the spokesperson of shite. But these are the black people whites turn to.

In fairness, blacks are far more monolithic in their views than are whites.

There’s never anything interesting about Jones being racist

Yep, white people are totally unaware of the concept of the Token Black Person.

The media has chosen a select group of black "spokesmen", and those are the only blacks you will see on TV.

How could I ever guess Bomani jones would make this all racial

Bomani Jones bringing race into a conversation that has nothing to do with race, now there is a surprise
Him and Ryan Clark were trained well by Screaming A Smith

I remember listening to Bomani on ESPN radio driving home from work and he would always rant about how "white people hate X" or "white people love them some Y."
He didn't even have a generic "white voice" on his show. He would just broad brush all white people on all sorts of issues.

The whole "woke" agenda shite and all because to me it's just given Black people a power they never had before, and they're still not satisfied. Always wanting more and more, I applaud Caitlin Clark for standing up for herself this season. You can see she's tired of it, tired of taking shite off of Black chick's that intentionally target her because they're jealous of the attention that she receives. If she didn't garner that attention the WNBA might be near extinction as a league. But she has revitalized that league financially with the impact that she has brought with her. But yeah, I'm burnt out with all of this "woe is me racism" shite going on in this country.
Further proof that blacks hate the white saviors who constantly shill for them just as much as anyone else.

No its not. You're just being sensitive. I would ask a red head questions about being redheaded. I would ask a woman questions about being a woman. I would ask a golfer questions about golf.
And theoretically speaking, if said black person responds “you wouldn’t understand what it’s like being black. The struggles I deal with on a daily basis because the color of my skin is something you would never get because you could never experience it”… what would your reply be? To be clear, that would NOT be my response.
But that’s my point. If I ask a pro golfer about golf, of course I will defer to his expertise. Period point blank. It isn’t something that has been politicized. But I see the “experiences of blacks as told by blacks” summarily dismissed with regularity on this board. And in fairness, often times for good reason. Hence, why I pointed out the difference in your examples.

I'll be glad when everyone realizes with people like Bomani no matter how much you kiss their arse it's never enough. He will always play the racist card and always the victim.
