Also, I think that the issue with what you mentioned would be unfair if a white fighter were dismissed or not taken seriosly because he is white....
I think Gerry Cooney may been a "great white hype" but he got in the ring and fought the fight... I give him respect as I would Tex Cobb or Jean Pierre Coupman or Richard Dunn or Davey 'Boy' Green because they puy on the gloves and fought the good fight... that is not a racial matter... it is about heart and regardless of their race, they had it... That is what the discussion should be about....
Let us be consistent... Are we looking for a meritocracy or not..... Rush was criticizing others for just that, basing their praise on things OTHER than merit. You should be applauding him!!!

Which is not what we're talking about here. Rush did not dismiss McNabb because he's black. He said others hyped him because he's black.
But I don't think you're interested in what Rush said, just interested in criticizing him.
