Rob Parker thinks his critics are “uneducated” and “silly”
NBCSports ^

Posted on 12/14/2012 5:12:44 PM PST by chessplayer

ESPN has admitted that commentator Rob Parker crossed the line when he questioned whether Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is not really black because he has a white fiancee. But Parker doesn’t seem to think he did anything wrong.

After making those comments on Thursday morning, Parker was inundated with criticism on Twitter, and in his responses on Thursday afternoon, he generally acted as though he was the one who was owed an apology for anyone daring to question what he’d said. Parker called his critics, among other things, “uneducated” and “silly.”

So, saying he wasn’t black enough because he might not lean left enough didn’t bother ESPN at all?

Hey Bobby. Go fall in with your black stereotype crowd and leave Griffin alone.

Critics are uneducated and silly? No. Just civilized.

That civilized thingy is hard for tribals to understand.

This is a big thing with racist Black liberals. They LOVE the slogan that since they vote socialist, they are smarter than everyone who does not. “Republicans stooopid. We be smart.”

None of the threads have indicated what he said. What did he say?

If forced to choose between “uneducated and silly” or “straight-up racist”, I will side with “uneducated and silly” every time. Parker’s comments were more egregious than those of Jimmy the Greek. While Jimmy’s crime was to suggest that all blacks are the same, Parker’s crime is to complain that they are not because one happened to step off the plantation. If ESPN does not terminate Parker’s contract, then they will lose the last of what little credibility they have remaining.

What, of course there’s nothing wrong with chiding a fellow slave for not staying on the black soul plantation!

So, does he think Obama’s father wasn’t really black because he married a white girl?

Or does this kind of judgment only apply to Christians?

Little Bobby has a problem with Griffin because he has a white fiancee and MAY be a wascally Wepubwican. He couldn’t offer any proof about RGIII’s voter registration but he still has a problem with Griffin not living up to the black stereotype.

The problem is obvious. We just ain’t down with him for the struggle. Geez. It’s not more complicated than that.

I wonder if Obama is black enough for him- he is ACTUALLY the product of the marriage of a black man to a white woman, and that must be even worse

but he’s a democrap so it’s probably OK

Why would he think he’s done anything wrong? The sad truth is that in this country Blacks are taught from kindergarden through college that it’s OK for them to be racist.

In a way I actually feel sorry for him. He’s been caught by changing standards exactly the same way so many White folks have been caught over the years. Remember when they first decided that nooses were racist? That one caught me. I laughed out loud and thought it was an idea that wouldn’t last a week. Now it’s pretty much an established fact, and woe to anyone who questions it.

I have to admit that one caught me by surprise also. It wasn't until the Jenna (sp?) incident that I found out nooses had been trademarked as implying something racist. I always thought it applied to rustlers and general bad guys. I've often said 'string 'em up', and it never applied to race.

Actually he isn't the product of the marriage.

Rob Parker is a pantywaist white boy in Blackface. He never played sports himself, but played a black person when went to Columbia J-School on an affirmative action free ride. Punk Parker is a loudmouth and about as much "down for the struggle" as I am.
