At his core, Pitts is a racist and a Marxist. He hates whites and Capitalism. The only thing Pitts left behind in South-Central LA where he grew up, was his address. In his mind [and heart], if you're black and don't share his attitude, you're a 'traitor-to-your-race'. Pitts didn't miss the "opportunity" to address the real problems within the black community in this column. Pitts nailed it. He's a perfect example of the problem. Gangs, drugs, dropout rates, etc. are just manifestations of his heart.

Once again Pitt shows his bias as did Miss Hill in her ESPN column. According to them, Sosa is the devil in a lighter shade of skin. I would encourage people to read her column if it is still available online. It has similiar messages within it as does Mr.Pitts. What is it that Sosa is doing that is truly wrong? It is his skin is it not? Is he hurting anyone? White folks tan all the time to get their skin to have a darker look to it. This country has went so dam% far PC that it is a lose lose no matter what you say or do. You are damne( if you do and damne( if you don't. If this were say Wayne Gretzky and he went way dark would this people be barking like they are? Seriously, is this that flipping important?

Perhaps Sammy is embarrased by the "race baiting, whoa is me, the world owes me/us" mentality that the likes of Mista Pitts exudes week after week. Perhaps Sammy just wants to put you (Pitts) worthless pieces of pelosi in his rear view mirror and move on into a productive state of mind. Perhaps.

I'm guessing Sammy Sosa doesn't really care what Pitts thinks.

Pitts has again missed an opportunity to address a real problem within the black community.....gangs, drugs, dropout rates, prison rates, single mothers, vulgar rap music, on and on and on. Yet he chooses a non issue such as appearance. If Sosa starts sleeping with 12 year old boys and builds an amusement park then I'll start to worry. What's next Pitts, whining about wigs, breast implants. white teeth.......
