| ESPN's Rob Parker calls RG3 a "cornball-brotha" (Posted on 12/13/12 at 1:01 pm)
Saw it on ESPN a few minutes ago & the only article I could find is this Video
Basically, RG3 isn't really black because he has a white fiancée & he's a GOP member. Which is a joke because all black dudes date white women now...duh

I didn't know if this should be posted here are on the poli board, so I chose not to post it.
Stuff like this is embarrassing, and of course he is now trending on twitter. The sad thing is a lot of black people on twitter are agreeing with him 
quote:
@RobParkerESPN you were dead on about RGIII & other athletes who shy away from their blackness. It's unnecessary & pathetic to do so
quote:
@RobParkerESPN You spoke truth, just because you are black, does not mean you are black. It's about embracing & accepting your blackness.
quote:
Agree with @pushpromotionz about @robparkerespn realness. People hate the truth!
quote:
@RobParkerESPN I respect u for speaking ur mind on #firsttake discussions like that are needed in modern America. I salute u Brah
quote:
Folks pretend they want the truth spoken on TV but get scared & uncomfortable when it's spoken. I get it if @RobParkerESPN was 2 deep 4 u
quote:
@RobParkerESPN You are the true definition of a Real Black-Man. Ivy League guy that is still humble and real. Thanks for being real everyday

It's absolutely mind boggling that when a white person points out the difference between white and black culture they're labeled racist, yet the whole intent of the black culture is to maintain those differences. They can celebrate their differences, but no one NOT black can even talk about them.

What's your point? Should this guy be crucified?
Just ignore the idiot saying idiotic things and don't give him any more attention. That's the right way to go, regardless of what race the idiot is.

Someone on First Take intentionally saying something idiotic to get people riled up? Shocking.

I don't watch First Take, I only read about it online.
And I don't really care, I just think its funny someone can go on ESPN and say RGIII is "not black" because he has a white fiance and is a registered Republican and not be considered a racist

Exactly. It's sad to see some people in this world act this way. It's also sad seeing people that can't see the hypocrisy of it all.

My point exactly, he completely paints black males with a broad brush and says that we really don't know what RG3 is. But, because he has braids that means he's very urban.
What the hell does that even mean.
