Nah, they aren't scared of a black qb, they are scared of an openly black quarterback, that embraces and loves his blackness and his culture. They don't mind cornballs like Russell Wilson because they know he will turn on black folks at the drop of a hat. But Cam a real one, and real nikkas scare white folks.

Russell Wilson is the light skin safe negro that white love keeping around

You had a great post going.

:what: What makes you say that about Russ breh? There are black people that enjoy all different types of things. Russell hasn't stopped tying to scramble or use his athleticism. I haven't heard Russell denounce or ignore his blackness. Russell is marrying a black woman and pretty much bringing a black child under his roof that isn't his. He has 2 black parents as well.

I'll post the article:
-------------------------------------------------
Brandon Marshall doesn’t think all the criticism that Cam Newton gets is about race.

Newton, the quarterback of the Super Bowl-bound Carolina Panthers who has irked some with his touchdown celebrations, said on Wednesday that he takes heat because he’s black.

“I’ve said this since Day One,” Newton said. “I’m an African-American quarterback that scares people because they haven’t seen nothing that they can compare me to.”

But Marshall, the outspoken Jets receiver, sees it differently.

“It’s a generational thing and I just stick to that,” Marshall said on “The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore” on Wednesday night. “I don’t think it’s racial. I just think that there’s a box that we put our quarterbacks in and we say, ‘This is how you’re supposed to be. This is how Peyton Manning did it, this is how Joe Montana did it, Tom Brady, so you do it the same way.’”

Of course, every quarterback Marshall named in that sentence also happens to be white.

Critics of Newton have complained about his dances, questioned his leadership and — in multiple letters to the Charlotte Observer — complained that he hadn’t married his son’s mother.

Though Marshall doesn’t think that race is at the heart of the criticism around Newton, he did compliment the quarterback for speaking out about how he felt.

“I commend him because back in the day our athletes and entertainers used to be civil rights leaders. They used to speak up,” Marshall said. “But now, the business has taken over. You have these brands like Under Armour, Nike and Beats by Dre and the yogurt thing (Dannon) that he endorsed. They come in, they tell you, ‘You know what, just be a good boy, shut your mouth and collect your check.’”

“I am one of those guys that, if I have an opinion I’m going to to say it. I guess that’s why I’m on my fourth team,” Marshall added with a smile.

With regard to Newton’s famous post-touchdown dance moves, Marshall seemed conflicted. First he said, “I don’t want my quarterback dancing. I’m from the old school ... I want my quarterbacks to get back in the huddle and lead us.”

Then Marshall reversed himself and complimented Newton. “But what we have to understand is this is the new generation,” he said. “This is what they’re doing next. They’re disruptive, they’re disrespectful, they don’t give a damn about anyone, and I kind of like it. Go back to when he was a rookie and he said, ‘I want to be an icon.’ You want to be an icon, you can’t stay in the box, you have to get out of the box, you have to be disruptive.”

Asked if he thought the dancing was a bit much, the wideout said, “So too much? That’s the question. He’s 15-1. He’s the MVP. He’s going to be the sixth African-American quarterback leading his team to the Super Bowl. It’s working.”

Ultimately, Marshall seemed to come down in favor of Newton’s moves, despite what the receiver said early in his interview.

“I love it, keep doing it, keep dancing,” he said.

Marshall was also asked if he thought the Jets were better than the two teams in the Super Bowl. “Absolutely,” Marshall said. But when he tried to elaborate on his explanation, the wideout couldn’t keep a straight face, revealing that even Marshall knew he was stretching the truth.

How he can say the bolded and flip then say it's not about race is mindboggling. Old school is just a slick way of saying back when those uppity folks were in their place.

The same people that hate Cam Newton loved Joe Namath.
The same people that hate Marshawn Lynch loved John Riggins
The same people that hate Floyd Mayweather loved Rick Flair
The same people that hate T.O. love Johnny Manziel
The same people that said Barry Bonds was the worst thing for baseball are saying Donald Trump is the best thing for America.
