RG3 - 'is he a brother or a cornball brother, he's not one of us down with the cause'

[purbeast0]

no, i didn't say that, but another fellow black guy on espn said that.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/e...rg3-a-cornball-brother-says-hes-not-one-of-us

video is the 2nd one in the link.

did anyone else hear about this story? i heard it today on the way home from work and the gym on the local stations (being in the DMV area) and it is just ridiculous that someone can even say shit like that. fucking ridiculous.

it's being talked about all over the place here in the local sports stations.

i loved how a black guy called in who stated he was 44, and even when he was 14 he remembers kkk members leaving notes on his mothers car when they were at the mall. then he talks about how he thinks the most racist people to his race are usually of his race. he then went on to say what is RG3 supposed to do at press conferences when he is speaking as he is educated and articulate - is he supposed to be like "yo dawg the game was tight we beat them mother fuckers big time yo!".

it's just great to hear other black people say how ignorant something like that is though. was very interesting listening to them call in and discuss it with the radio host.

EDIT:

also i like when rob parker is asked about rg3's braids, and then is like 'pfft ... if you wear braids, you are a brother'. then news flash rob ... YOU DONT HAVE BRAIDS ARE YOU NOT A BROTHER?

I've never heard the term "cornball brother" before. I'm assuming it's the same as calling him a "House n**ger" or an "Uncle Tom"?

Was at dinner couple weekends ago, large group came in sitting next to us and I learned of the term "day ni***" from their loud conversation.

did not realize the multiple forms that existed.

I was told there was no more racism in America.
I guess they don't read this forum.

 

[Spoooon]

RG3 seems pretty stand up in general.

Yes, I agree. Thanks to this forum, I wouldn't have seen or heard the racist dribble spilled by that sports "commentator" linked in the OP's post. Thank you AT forum, for showing me where the racism can be found.

Gotta keep it real yo

 

[darkxshade]

Why were they discussing his race? Isn't it well established by now he's a beloved patriot?

Dem breasesests. Dayum!

 

[dbk]

yeah Lavar Arrington was going batshit crazy over that... LOL He was like quoting Bob Marley and stuff... Rob Parker is just there to cause controversy at ESPN, what a joke.

 

[Nintendesert]

I think after this shit by ESPN I'm off the RG3 hate train. I don't want to be hating on a guy that has to deal with stuff like this from ESPN. I'll keep my hate for RG3 confined to two games per season.

 

[Farang]

I love Stephen A. Smith's reaction. 'Um... I'm not touching this. You're on your own dude.'

 

[evident]

homeboys being homeboys D:

rg3 shouldnt be faulted for not conforming and fitting into negative sterotypes of his race.

 

[CPA]

Just another reason to only watch live sports on ESPN and nothing else. I blame Stuart Scott.

 

[Brigandier]

Being Asian is better than being black. Being black must suck beyond belief. No matter what you do, you got haters hating hotly, loudly all the time.

I hope RGIII is grounded enough to have good gutters, and let all this criticism flow away.

 

[Pr0d1gy]

The funny thing is all these people wish their sons were Griffin. He is a humble, decent, and gifted young man.

Holy cow, how does she stand up-right? I wonder if she has trouble with her back carrying those things around all day.

 

[TheVrolok]

First Bill Cosby, now RG3. Silliness.

 

[RedCOMET]

Heard about this on talk radio last night. Glad to see that the mainstream media is covering this. Unacceptable for espn to allow that kind of discussion to occur on air.

 

[SP33Demon]

People still watch ESPN for commentary? lawl

Furthermore, RG3's fiancee isn't hot, why is that idiot hating on him? Same as Mark Zuckerberg, yes he could have done way better but nobody is saying that he wasn't representing his whiteness.

In summary, nobody gives a shit about skin color anymore except pre-genx morons like this.

 

[JTsyo]

Reminds me of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air eps where Carlton has to deal with Will's friends from the hood.

 

[classy]

This type of stuff is an embarrassment. I was looking at the espn links. This is a disgrace. The brother is just jealous.

Exactly
