The simple fact is if Tim Tebow was black the media wouldn't care how Christian he was.

Oh dear! Was that racist? Do your own research if you disagree. There are lots of black athletes who give praise and nobody in the media bats an eye. Now why do you suppose that is?

My theory? I believe it's because in "The Progressive Book of Rules" Black trumps Christian. The media can't criticize a black for being overtly Christian because that would be racist. It might not even occur to them to do so; that's just how black people are, what with comin' from slavery, don't you know? But they don't have to put up with all that "Jesus" stuff from some big dopey white guy. "Hey, we don't want to hear all that junk, buddy! Save for church, or camp, or wherever it is you people go."

Someone on a sports thread here awhile back said something fairly brilliant. If Tebow was Muslim, threw out the prayer rug, faced East and put his butt in the air, nothing would be said about his religion.

Various sports writers and commentators have no problem mocking Tebow, just note last night on network TV. What that makes them are cowards because they know that a bunch of militant Christians are not coming after them. So, mock away there boys and girls, but remember what a bunch of lilly-livered twits you really are.

It’s not black trumps Christian, it’s politics trumps religion. They know blacks even if they are Christian they will still vote for the Democrat.

White Christians are hated because they tend to vote conservative.

Black conservative Christians are hated just as much as white conservative Christians.

If Tebow were black, he’d be Darrell Greene and the media would avoid him.
