To Clinkscales' credit, he does stop (just) short of calling Whitlock an "Uncle Tom" (using the code of Whitlock "flowing with the currents").
Samples -- Whitlock is cowardly. Whitlock is as bad as Imus. Whitlock unfairly attacks hip hop. Whitlock is the opposite of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King.
What is most distressing is Clinkscales' opinion that, no matter what flaws you might possibly find in hip hop, people need it because it gives black people jobs.............The same observation could be made about ANYTHING you can make money off that is otherwise undesirable. Example: Meth -- sure it is a bad industry, but it provides money and jobs for poor rural whites!
Clinkscales' argument is so poorly constructed that I almost suspect that there is no "Keith Clinkscales." Instead he is a straw man invented by Jason Whitlock to make Whitlock's arguments look even stronger.
