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.”

uneducated, silly? One thing for sure, they are mostly employed, which he isn’t at this time
He’s upset that RGIII understood “Judge a man, not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.” Little bobby needs to get his next job (he’s lost this one) by some other means than affirmative action
I want to say that Tiger Woods is also a republican, having grown up in Orange County, CA. Which is why he refused to accept Obama’s invite to the White House.
Shut up and play the damn game !
When Tiger Woods went on Oprah and sai he didn't consider himself a total Black Man
Rob collected everything he had that reminded him of Tiger Woods and took it to the Goodwill.
What a Racist
What does Griffin owe to Parker?
Of course he's not a "total black man" simply because his father is black and his mother is Asian. So what he was saying is simply the genetic truth that everyone already knew.
Did you notice that as long he was winning consistently as a golfer, the sports MSM kind of treated him the great black superstar, despite his half Asian ancestry and his white wife. Only when his marriage started falling apart - due to his affairs with other white women - and his golf game suffered at about the same time did he fall out of favor with the Rob Parkers of the world.
What’s the big deal? I thought everyone knew that the definition of “blackness” was defined by the leftist media, based on how they act.
For instance, Justice Clarence Thomas? Not Black, and a bad role model for Black youth. Because he doesn’t think “right.”
Jaime Fox? Plenty Black, and a great role model for Black “youts,” because he declared Obama his Lord and Savior.

So, saying he wasn’t black enough because he might not lean left enough didn’t bother ESPN at all?
He’s still working for them and hasn’t been fired. I guess they don’t want Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson releasing their wrath on them.
but he still has a problem with Griffin not living up to the black stereotype.
A stereotype created by white liberals.
Thanks for the reminder. Those who we’re lynched we’re Republicans.

But Parker doesn’t seem to think he did anything wrong.I wouldn't mind having his fiancee'. Oh, sorry, I meant to just think that.
What is far less known is that about 1,100 WHITES got lynched too. (Thank you KKK, militia arm of the RATZ party.) It seems like all the whites were Republicans.Well put.
Parker is an uneducated idiot. Aka ‘journalism major’
