re: Russell Wilson isn't "Black Enough," Seahawks Players Allegedly Say

It's a slap in the face to Russell, but I think Jalen Rose explained it great a couple of years ago. He had that public spat with Grant hill and Coach K when he pretty much said Duke only takes uncle toms.

A young and ignorant rose saw a dicthomy between the black kids in his neighborhood and the black kids going to duke. Grant hills dad was an all pro Cowboys, jalen was the 1st pick in the NBA draft? Who grew up broke? Who grew up with privilege?

Jalen lived the stereotypical inner city black life and envied what hill had. So these kids mischaracterize the other kids as acting "white," and lash out at it. It's part ignorance and part jealously
