this bamma Rob Parker saying this? :aicmon:

I don't think he's distancing himself from race at all. Clearly he sees the stigma of tying black qbs into one group that many of these analysts resort to.

He sees it. Cam on the other hand was the one who legitimized that lumping with his statement.
thats exactly it.

i actually agree with Rob Parker, he does come off as an "Uncle Tom" type of dude in my opinion, he don't want to be compared to Cam Newtown or Vick, but want to be compared to Aaron Rodgers but he runs an gimmick option pass system, how in the fukk are they comparable?? Cam and RGIII can be compared...he just don't want to cause Cam is black and he is an "Cornball Brotha"

Rodgers has a RING. Cam & Vick got none. Why wouldn't you aspire to be compared to the best at your position :snoop:

Exactly!!!

Why would you compare yourself to the fixed place these white boys in the media lump us to?

Its too late in the day for this BS.

The logic behidn what RG3 is getting at is that just b/c you're black, you don't have to be defined by, aka limited to, that.

Yeah, other people are gonna look at you as black, but in yourself, you dont have to define yourself by that. It's not denying/distancing urself from blackness, but when you define yourself solely as such, now you might be limiting yourself to trying to fit in w/ everyone else.

He acknowledged himself being a African-American male, but in his job, he doesnt have to look at himself as a black QB.

And to go further, the NFL is not the real world.

As a black person, you can do ur job in corporate America and still not get proper credit, or a white guy will still get a promotion over you.

In the NFL, if you go out on the field and produce, you're gonna get the money, the accolades, and everything else that comes with it whether ur white or black.

EDIT: But I dont think Rob Parker should've said what he said on National TV. :huhldup: I cant imagine the twitter backlash he's getting

Yeah he's a cornball. He's a grown ass man wearing superhero socks. :russ: And he speaks like Eddie Murphy impersonating a white man. He's not a sell-out or a c00n or a sambo for these things though. He's a fukking beast who's smart ass fukk and doesn't limit himself to being a "black qb".
