This is one of those stories where you can just see that someone is going to end up apologizing and/or resigning.
Jason Whitlock, a black columnist for the Kansas City Star, wrote a column for Playboy magazine that is to appear in the May 9 edition. According to Whitlock, the column wil have a headline that will read:
