So ESPN has suspended the cornball brotha

[SpittinThatKnowledge]

Somebody please tell me how i knew Rob Parker was going to get himself into some trouble. I watch ESPN First Take and he's always the one talking about some black history sh!t. I think he takes this racism foolishness to far.

 

[Guess Who]

I don't call Cam Newton a nikka and he came from a great household. RG3 seems like a Hermain Cain type nikka so please stop acting like those dudes don't exist. Every person with dark skin doesn't represent the majority of black people.

Only in the black community do we allow ourselves to be represented as a whole by only a few.

And we continue to buy into it...

 

[humble Hermit]

Yep You love white women don't you? Don't front either nikka.

All women of all color or no color :mjgeek:

Once you realize that it's

Exactly, he is black dude but I don't consider RG3 as a voice for any cause in the black community. He can go fight animal abuse with his white parent in-laws for all I care.

 

[Guess Who]

Imagine a cac gettin suspended from his career for sayin somebody was a "cornball cracka".

Gotta do better

Why must our response be compared to a white person's response (or anybody else's), as if they are some measuring stick for proper behaviour?

We should be trying to do better for ourselves, not to meet the expectations of others.

Well pawg on then bruh. I'll still shake my head at you if I see you in public though.

Here's the thing though. In having a definition of blackness that some people fall into and some people don't, it is logically inherent and necessary that there is an archetypal black person that represents us as a whole.

If we are to continue to subscribe to this idea of blackness then we need to redefine blackness as something that isn't defined by one's choice of spouse, hobbies, manner of speaking, or group of friends, but rather as something defined by virtue and values. We are valuing ourselves on the external and not the internal, and I find that to be hugely problematic.

Nope, so don't be mad when black people say he is a Tom type nikka.

 

[mozichrome]

no more simping Cari Champion for Rob Parker

Wtf is a Tom type nikka, though...in your words? Cuz I always saw it as a black person who will throw their own under the bus to appease white folks. I don't see RG3 doing that. The nikka dates a white girl and MIGHT be Republican. nikkas wasn't calling Randy Moss and Uncle Tom...or Strahan, or David Garrard, or the multitude of dudes who have married a white woman. What makes RG3 so different? Cuz he got dusty braids and doesn't use slang? Dude doesn't even "sound white"...he just doesn't "sound black."

God dammit, can we PLEASE stop buying into this blackness bullshyt. It's self-limiting and divisive. shyt.

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

nikkas can't even ball without bein held to some "authentic black" standard

:thefucc:



and lets also be clear, Uncle Tom was a hero.

 

[King Jove]

so rg3 should be ridin around in a skittle donk, wifed up with some KOD stripper with tats all over his body and multiple arrest?

let him do him.
