Ping!...
Parker needs to go play in rush-hour traffic.
Pushes away from his people, huh?
He is a mature genuine-adult male rather than a rapper-gangster with pants hanging halfway to his knees. ‘bout damn time someone shows some maturity.
D-list sportswriters don’t deserve the attention they receive simply for writing something audacious.
Cars don’t move very fast in rush hour traffic.........
So RGIII, like so many people in our society today, of all races, is living Matin Luther King’s dream in their lives - of being judged by the content of our character and not the color of our skin, and this racist idiot “black” TV sports announcer is upset with that. He is simply less “evolved” than RGIII.
Not from A quarterback like RGII......
First they went after Tebow, now RGIII............
Guess it will be interesting to see how ESPN reacts to this. They suspended an employee who is continuing to spew the same rhetoric.
I read a great article on him (on espn.com interestingly) about how his graduate work at Baylor included outreach to the poor areas of Waco. While this rich black liberal is fulminating about RGIII’s lack of race hustler rhetoric, RGIII is actually working to improve the lives of black people.
This is why journalism is such BS. First, this should not be a story — no one should print anything this moron Parker says. But for some reason it is a story so OK, let’s talk about it.
The young man says he wants to be the best quarterback, not the best black quarterback, and that he doesn’t want to play the color game.
This raises a red flag for dogmatic race-baters like Parker — those statements are something that a black conservative would say and we all know black conservatives are “cornballs.”
Then Parker gets hit with a lot of criticism so he resorts to a bunch of banal nonsense about how he was “taken out of context” and how his statements were “out of concern” not “condemnation.” How can calling someone a “cornball” be “taken out of context?” How is calling someone a “cornball” being concerned and not condemnatory? Someone should have asked those follow up questions but they didn’t.
Parker had to have been one of those black thugs in high school that harrassed other black kids that wanted to learn and make something of themselves. Actin white. Ya’ll know whut ah’m talkin bout.
I take it Parker is a light-skinned black.....they are the ones who always seem to have the biggest chips on their shoulder when it comes to race.
Lets hope he fully recovers from his injury sustained against the Seahawks. He has great appeal as a professional athlete.
Currently Parker serves as an assessor of "Blackness" for ESPN. He has developed an extensive list of criteria to make these assessments including: Spouses/significant others, potential political affiliation, and hair style. ESPN is proud to have Mr. Parker in their employment and executives are proud of his blackness assessment criteria
