Landlord Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 What a tool. Why does it matter, and why do you need to know? Pathetic. Link to comment
NUance Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 "For me, you don't ever want to be defined by the color of your skin,'' Griffin said on Wednesday, via Tom Corbett of USA Today Sports. "You want to be defined by your work ethic, the person that you are, your character, your personality. That's what I've tried to go out and do." Pretty awesome response by RGIII. The espn guy Parker is a tool. And sort of a racist tool at that. Just imagine if a white sports analyst said similar things about being white, and being down with the white cause. We'd expect the guy to be wearing a white hooded robe with eyeholes. For anyone to accept what Rob Parker says, well, it's sort of a double standard. 2 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 What a total jack azz. So, if a black man has a white fiancée and doesn't wear braids then the black community needs to look down on him? And what side is racist here? Link to comment
Conga3 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 What that guy just said...and how comfortable he was saying it on TV is shocking. If RGIII is a Republican, he's probably already been warned not to state it publicly. I can only imagine how hard it it to be a Black Republican ..period...let alone in Washington DC. Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I love it when people go on TV or radio and say sh#t like this. Link to comment
rawhide Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Illuminating but SAD how people think. Braids=brother, no braids =nope DOH At least the guy at the end said how uncomfortable he is about where that conversation just went. Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 The sad thing is, people like this think they are helping advance the plight of colored people....but it's doing the opposite. Link to comment
Landlord Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Phew....good thing I saw this today and decided against that black haircut. Link to comment
NebraskaHarry Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 From the video at least Steven A Smith was shocked about this subject. Why they are talking about this is beyond me. Link to comment
sd'sker Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 espn daytime programming is some weird abyss where they turn idiots into a-holes. Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 From the video at least Steven A Smith was shocked about this subject. Why they are talking about this is beyond me. I would actually like to see the rest of the discussion. Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 It would not appear that we have advanced at all, and even regressed greatly, from the days of Howard Cossell saying "look at that little monkey run" and being fired for it. This bozo wants color to be a defining characteristic. I thought the whole goal was to get beyond skin color and focus on the person. What do the braids say to you? WTF. Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 A black man once told me what I thought was one of the most insightful things I'd ever heard at the time. He said, "I don't believe in equality. I believe in equity. You shouldn't treat everyone the same because people are different. But you should treat everyone fairly." Link to comment
Fru Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." - Martin Luther King Jr. Looks like Rob Parker missed one of the biggest memo's for "the cause" Link to comment
