Below is a letter that I wrote in response to George Willis' article on the Thomas trial. You can read it here.

Bad article Willis,
This is a cultural point of view. Is it as offensive for a black man to refer to another black man as a nigga or nigger as it is for a white man to refer to a black man in ether term? Of course not. You and I must have heard two different things. We must have been watching two entirely different videos. I heard Thomas say that a black man calling a black woman a bitch violates my code of conduct. I also heard him say that he did have as big of a problem with a black man using the word bitch as he does a white man. He makes the same distinction that a large part of America uses, be it the words bitch, nigger, hoe, or trailer white trash. Was this not a politically smart thing to say? Absolutely not, but it was honest. Can you honestly tell me that you have never referred to a black man as 'my nigga' or 'that nigga is crazy'? If so then may be you should hold your self to the same standards has you hold Isiah Thomas and resign from the post.
Regards,

In my spare time I right to the media when ever I come across a bias article or and article from a 'real news source' that is filled with opinion. This is why I'm forming the EOBM (Enemy of Bias Media). It's a one man army now but like Starbury I'm turning this thing into a movement. Anytime you read a bias article write these mother#$#$$ and tell them as articulate as possible how you feel.
