poorly saidFrom Jonah's latest syndicated column about the Rush affair: In 1988 Jimmy "the Greek" Snyder lost his job for saying blacks have a genetic advantage over whites athletically. Al Campanis, an L.A. Dodgers executive, suggested that blacks don't have the "necessities" to make good managers. Those guys lost their jobs, their careers and their reputations.C'mon Jonah, you know that's just not honest. Jimmy the Greek lost his job because he said blacks have a genetic advantage that slavery bred into them. Jimmy's argument was implicitly stating that black athletes excel because white slave owners bred the bad genes right out of their negro pets. That Jonah didn't correctly characterize Jimmy the Greek's statement doesn't change his argument, but it's important not to forget exactly what others have been guilty of when considering Rush's sins (or lack thereof). |
