Pot Calling The Kettle Half Black

AITOOW finds it funny that Jalen Rose thinks Grant Hill is an Uncle Tom? First off, I doubt he has even read the book. And if he has it was only because it was assigned not because he likes to read. Secondly, by the looks of his soft, yellow skin, it doesn't seem that his ancestors were unless of Uncle Tom's in their ability to keep their women from laying with Massa. That is if their women didn't voluntarily open their honey pots. Thirdly, based on the relative outcomes of being a "Tom" versus not being a "Tom", his "criticism" is as foolish as it is ineffective. Fourthly, what is Rose's pedigree. How is he not a "Tom". He worked for free for the white man in college. He cow towed to all the rules. He sold out. Fifthly, how is he "street"? Was he in a gang? He's just another imbecile with a big mouth and a delusional image of himself as a false gangster who thinks growing up poor, listening to hip hop and wearing certain clothes make him legit. He's no different than your average white trash, wanna be gangster. Lastly, I want to applaud Hill for his intelligent response that basically calls Rose's parents welfare Tom's among other innuendos that I doubt Rose can untangle. Now it's time for the rest of the Rose clones to find a new way of expressing their frustrations at being inferior to the rest of their race and all others. This cliche is so played out.
