Joe Hick was the best commenter on race, bar none. The "Hicks File" was the best of all and it too bad that it did continue. I was always left wanting to hear more. It's that way with the honest truth.
I will miss him. m/r
Joe Hicks, RIP

My pal Joe Hicks
died this week. A minor surgery got complicated and he was gone.
I saw him at a dinner just a couple of weeks ago and he looked fine, his
usual Joe self, full of energy with lots to add to the discussion at
hand — a talk about Black Lives Matter and the War on Cops.
Joe and I were among the freshman class at PJTV, where Joe starred in The Hicks File. The sample above shows him discussing Barack Obama's dishonest reaction to the arrest of Henry Louis Gates in Cambridge, MA. It was a foretaste of the way Obama would game the black community and work up its anger against the police in order to distract the media and the nation from the failures of his administration on every front, foreign and domestic. Joe saw it plain and called it like it was.
He was a black guy who started out a radical and ended up a conservative, which is testimony to his intellectual honesty and courage. I'm always amused to watch the leftist press — which is pretty much all the big press — laud the courage of, for instance, some athlete who announces he's gay. What courage it is indeed to suffer the martyrdom of a congratulatory call from the president, a Sports Illustrated cover and interview attention far above your actual contribution to the game you play.

Joe had courage. Because if you're a black communicator who stands up for what's right and true, the press will ignore you. ..
