ESPNs Rob Parker dropped a bombshell today when he called NFL rookie star and MVP candidate Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III a cornball brother. That means, according to Parker, that RGIII isnt a real black person, and that he might not be one of us or down for the cause.
What was his justification? RGIII is engaged to a white woman, and could be a Republican.
Seriously.

Intra race racism.
Irony is a dish best served by the unaware.
Don’t give up on us the kool-aid and Stockholm Syndrome is very strong in the black community. Just judge on an individual basis. In many places liberalism, collectivism, fascism and communism is the only thing that they know. When you have generations of welfare recipients and lack of fathers and the eschewing of education you get people like Mr. Parker.
I can confirm for everyone that Rob Parker has been suspended until further notice by ESPN. I received the confirmation directly from ESPN.
Who was the other Black Idiot Sportsguy that you had in mind for firing in the same week, besides Rob't. Parker?
I sympathize with your dilemma, tho' ..... so many morons, so little time .....
I'm not an Eagles fan, so I'm not sure of the personalities involved, but basically Limbaugh said flat-out that he thought the Eagles organization was doing a little affirmative-action goody-dust sprinkling over their then-quarterback, who Rush thought wasn't maybe "all that" -- okay, mind you, but overpromoted and overpraised.
That caused a lot of hard feelings and an instantaneous boycott-and-harassment campaign from the Left against Limbaugh, his hairline, his Oxycontin scrip, Mr. Snerdly, and anyone/thing else they could think of. Morons, utter morons. But the pushback from the Eagles, ESPN, and the League was another matter. So Rush said, "Okay, I don't need this; if you guys feel bad because I said something I felt needed saying, then let's just call it a day."
That's the way he told it on-air, anyway. The quarterback under discussion was Donovan McNabb.
Wiki says the flap was back in 2003; I'm showing my age, because I only thought it was two or three years ago.
