Somewhere in America, Wayne Brady has a single tear rolling down his cheek right now.

It sucks that the video cut away before Stephen A's response. It looked like he was about to disagree.

I bet RG3 likes: Homeland, New Balance, coffee, film festivals, Arrested Development, snowboarding, standing still at concerts...

This isn't the first time Rob Parker has done this Questioning Blake Griffins race.

The article from Black Sports Online in the OP is outstanding. They talk about this issue, but also talk about ESPN and their commentators trying to make names for themselves instead of being analysts of sports. Short article and worth the read.

Anyone who watched the segment knows that OP misquoted Parker. He never put any label on RGII, all he did was wonder what thyp of brother RGIII is.

when did we start having specific types of black males? and do we have specific types for whites,asians & hispanics or is this specifically for blacks?

"Wondering what type" is just as bad as the label. I didn't even know there were "types" of "brothers"

That in and of itself seems racist and ridiculous. Why is that even a question or a discussion?

OMGZ! RGIII has a relative who voted republican?! And he likes WHITE WOMEN? He's not one of us! He can't vote that way! He can't tap that white tail! Shun!

That's what this racist PoS sounds like.

At least he didn't do anything crazy, like claim the media hypes him up because they want a black QB to succeed. That would be grounds for termination.

Beam comon now we know there are different types of black males? For example we got the brothers that went to St Aug and the Brothers that went to John Mac. We got the ones that want to be thugs and the ones that pick up a book. I think that's the point he was trying to make. RG3 is a lil corny(meaning if there were a fight he wouldn't be the first to step up-nothing wrong with that) and those micobraids are god awful he needs to cut that shite. just cut the ends off and u got him.
