I've been reading Jason for years. He used to write for ESPN.com. He used to love to play the race card on a myriad of issues with the "everybody is down on us cause we're black" complaint. Since he left ESPN he has changed his position from blaming to what can we do about it. I have had several communications with him via email over the past couple of years, from calling him out for wrongly playing the race card in the past to congratulating him for very well written articles trying to offer a solution for what has plagued our society forever. I'm proud of his obviously more enlightened way of trying to solve the problems that are dividing the races in this country. Basically it's just a more honest appraisel of what's right and what's wrong and it's incumbent on all of us to be honest by stating that both sides have work that needs to be done.
