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

I worked with a guy once who told me he was an outcast in both the black community and the white community. I didn't really understand it at the time, especially since he wasn't particularly the "Carlton" type. I guess that's. What the poster above me is talking about.

I've said for years that, imo, black people seem to have much more pressure to conform to a certain m.o. than do white people. White people seem to have the "freedom" to be whatever they are, without having to fit a stereotype or rigid profile.

Just my opinion, but I actually think this has turned out to be a pretty good thread. I wish we could have more threads like this where people could just speak honestly, and have other posters do the same. I think we're all guilty of resorting to knee-jerk reactions at times, instead of just having an honest back and forth discussion.

EDIT - I temporarily forgot that this thread was on the MSB. Maybe that's why it has played out pretty well. On the PT, this thread may have ended up much differently
