I didn't know it was 1811...

I couldn't resist commenting on this notion of "Black Thanksgiving". Coined by sports writer Mike Wilbon, but condoned by CNN, ESPN and their apparent non-biased writers. Congratulations on pointing out the Black attendance at the events, with your reasoning the Black Plague must have started in Africa.

Here's the thing, there's more to Black culture than basketball and Roscoe's chicken and waffles. Yes, rappers and basketball players tend to be Black, but that doesn't suggest that our youth strive solely for those positions. And finally, just because we have a Black president and certain media channels are considered liberal (or as they say un-biased), does not give you card blanch to decorate events with names like 'Black Thanksgiving' and 'The Black Super Bowl'. Most Black people are forced to accept this subtle racism because these type of comments are not on the diversity exclusion form yet, because they are considered harmless.
I had a friend a few weeks ago that mentioned he was on the 2 train with a gang - they were loud, obnoxious and he told me the only way to describe them would be with the N word. This reference to my friend and the CNN/ESPN reporters proves that their vocabulary and creativity has not advanced beyond our 19th century notion of Black culture - because hey, if there is chicken and basketball involved can't go wrong with calling it Black, right?
