If you're not really careful the media can have you believing things that aren't true and have you angry at the wrong people for the wrong reason. Case in point was how they took what ISAIAH THOMAS said when he was asked if he would be MORE OFFENDED if a white man called a black woman a bitch than he would if a black man used the word.
Isaiah said "Yes,he would be MORE OFFENDED if a white man called a black a bitch" He said that's something he would not stand for and that it would be "on!''(that's black talk for I'm about to whip dat azz!) In his own way he was standing up FOR black women!
Now what the media took from this and what they constantly misquoted the him as saying, was"ISAIAH THOMAS says that it's okay for black men to call black women a bitch" That's down right wicked. He never said that. The media TRIED to create a controversy where non really existed.
What was pretty gratifying for me was that when asked about what ISAIAH said,most black women agreed with him. They understood what he meant.
Hey,media,...better luck next time!
