I was in Atlanta the year they drafted Vick and being in the D.C. area for this RG3 thing I can see and hear the exact same trends happening down racial lines...

But the thing is, Vick, Cam, and RG3 are great quarterbacks, likable, and they're exciting to watch, who wouldn't like them? Vince sucks and he's a sensitive ass nikka, so no one likes him.

bottom line is, if your a good player and a decent person with some heart to you, you'll get support regardless of your race. You don't see dudes here throwing their support behind Donovan Mcnabb or Seneca Wallace just because they're black.

Yeah but there's other good QBs out there who I don't give a fukk about. :yeshrug:
I won't front, it's because they're black. :manny:

I root for ALL Black QBs because they're fighting the microscope that white QBs don't have. I have rooted for Black QBs to play great vs. my team even if it meant beating them. I've never rooted against a QB because he was white, but I've rooted against a QB because he was "media white". Media white QBs mostly hype and given chance after chance to be greater than he is. Or he is overhyped in a Bret Favre kind if way. :smugfavre:

True but only to a certain extent. McNabb took more shyt from black people, generally speaking than white people.

:usure:

mcnabb took shyt from both sides of the fence

especially in philly

That itself goes against the concept of black people rooting for all black qbs. Can't speak on Philly but genrally speaking from my experience (on here and offline) black people didnt' fukk with McNabb like that. A lot of people turned on him after the TO beef, that he really played no part in.

I actually watched the show today, and this is context in which he said it.

He said if it comes down to situation where it's Black QB versus White QB(who off just about equal standards), basically most fans will choose based on race

He was talking about a specific situation, not a blanket statement. Of course Blacks Ravens, Broncos, Colts, Gaints fans and so on, will root for their team's white qb, that was not the point he was trying to make.
