I would hope that Rush can take it as well as dish it out..

I respect his right to say what he said but I think I also have the right to criticize him because I disagree... By the way... Is this not the same problem that the Dixie Chicks had whenever they said something in a public forum that many on this forum disagree with?

I am still waiting for any evidence that there is a media bias toward black quarterbacks.... From what I have seen, the media talks up all quarterbacks based on their potential, but the ones who get long term respect and support are the ones who win and get the job done....
If one does not perform and win, one ends up on the curb....

He brought race into the issue when he did not have justification or supporting material.... Now many looking at every black or minority quarterback and wondering whether he is there for his ability and whether his media image is based on his personality and marketability or whether it is based on how well he chose his parents...

Why? That wasn't brought up at all. No one suggested black QBs were being hired based on their race.

and whether his media image is based on his personality and marketability or whether it is based on how well he chose his parents...

Well, what's wrong with that? People deconstruct media hype all the time. Wouldn't we be better off without players being hyped based on race?
