Andy Reid should be happy he's white

Jason Whitlock asks why the media is giving Andy Reid a pass on his children's drug problems and Reid's contention that he knew nothing about what was happening in his home. What is the usual reaction when we hear, absentee father, a mother at home with five kids, two boys with guns and drugs scattered throughout the house." Do we think high-paid NFL coach? Hell no,Says Whitlock: "But I do want to spell out how this would have been handled differently by the authorities and interpreted differently by the media and the public had this been your typical ghetto tale involving poor black, brown or white people or black and brown people of any income level. No one — and I mean no one — would believe these boys could be using, dealing and housing drugs and guns without the knowledge of their parents" People's reaction to this kind news is almost always, why can't this lousy parent get control of their kids, the parents should be thrown into jail with the kids. The media which prides itself on being so unbiased in every way has just proved that rich white folks get special treatment, especially from their own.
