Jayson Blair uses racism as an escape for his irresponsible behavior.

Last night I watched Episode 6 (the 1940s) of Ken Burns baseball. I had always heard about the abuse that Jackie Robinson took, but I didn't know the extent of how he dealt with it. Here you saw a man of tremendous character that persevered by rising above their tactics. I have trouble with someone who has an opportunity like Blair who lies and threatens others, and then claims that he is the victim of his race. His race was a factor in landing that job, and he wasn't complaining back then.
