Wilbon weighs in on D-Mac

If you thought Whitlock's article was thought-provoking, you should read Michael Wilbon's take,   which is even better:

"Anybody who doubts McNabb needs only to walk around one of the upper-concourse areas of Lincoln Financial Field late in a game when, as several white friends have told me, the frequent use of the word "nigger" preceding McNabb's name during a losing performance is so casual it sickens them. Rex Grossman, just to name one white quarterback who has to deal with daily criticism, doesn't have to be on the wrong end of that kind of hateful venom, even though he'll never be half the quarterback McNabb has been."

Like I said before: just because white people (particularly the young ones) don't recognize this reality doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
