It will be interesting to see how Wilson manages this situation.

Wilson comes across as very fake and I believe that is the issue. The whole not black enough thing is a very poorly worded attempt to discribe his contrived persona.
This.
He's cultivated a public persona that can allow no huge hiccups. He's painted himself like Christ but he already dropped his last bitch

No. It means exactly what we all know it means. He's not a thug. No criminal past, no tats, no hip-hop cred. NOT BLACK ENOUGH.
And his friends are white, not black.
It's disgusting. It's racists on it's face but nobody will give it the time of day.

That is the vibe I get from him. In almost every interview I've seen, he says a lot of words without saying anything. I know that happens a lot with athletes, but he seems to take it to a new level.

If I'm Wilson I make the Seahawks break the bank or walk

This is the most overblown black race issue out there.
In my experience, this is a complete non issue, especially as you get older.

Russell Wilson isn't "Black Enough
So thats why he's such a good QB

No that's medias/white perception of what they think black mean when they say someone isn't black enough.
I know some of most Carlton-esque brothers that would qualifier as "blacker" than what you listed as attributes of blackness

exactamundo...the article even says it and we all know it. A divide between "well spoken" blacks and blacks with the "well spoken" ones not being black enough
If I were the producer of "black-ish" I'd be putting in a call right now

There is no divide.
Where is this divide?

Maybe you have a different perspective than some black athletes from Compton. Is that possible or are you saying all of y'all think alike, since we're generalizing things.

the one that everyone knows exist and is acknowledged by the black author, mike freeman, who wrote the gossip piece
are you going to sit here and deny that "well spoken" blacks aren't teased or regarded as "less black"
It's so commonly understood that they even have a show about it on abc (one I happen to like) about a black family trying to keep it real while living in suburbia

So you think they are pissed because he is not marching on Selma Alabam, not because he hangs out with white guys and has cultivated an image that appeals to the majority of Americans and not a smaller African American sub-population?
Well, I disagree.
