So will Rob Parker be fired by the end of today
- Thread starter Mr210
- Start date
If Rob Parker was white he would have been hanging with CantStop in oblivion. The fact that Rob had been on First Take numerous times with his "Are they black enough" editorials saves him. What makes it bad for me is I think people really buy into this perception of acting black or acting white. RGIII dating white chicks and his political views doesn't make him a cornball brother.
Just the phrasing "cornball brotha" seems like it took 10 mins to think of a way not to say "Is he an uncle tom"
Like they tried their hardest to not make it blatantly offensive. And I wouldn't be surprised at all if Parker got notes on this one, that's E!spn's m.o, stir up bullshyt with non-sports related material.
I`m so glad I got an 9-5

Fukk your corny debates
You same nikkas consider people like RG3 a c00n what's the issue now
Yeah. fukk Rob Parker, he's an idiot. But it seems a bit disingenuous to hear all this outrage about it here, a place where people are routinely called c00ns for the most baseless, trivial reasons, and attempts to quantify and gauge peoples' "blackness" is commonplace.

On what planet is a brother that is a Republican with a white wife not viewed as corny?

He's a koon breh but I like him as a Football player and I would probably like him as a friend so it doesn't bother me. My best friend is a koon but not to RG3 level.

He is a good as gone/ Networks do not like race controversies, It makes them nervous.
I hope RGIII handkles it like McNabb did with class when those kind of racially charged ignorant comments were aimed at him years back.

Well, when you put it like that, then yeah you're right.
I was just saying judging whether or not someone is a cornball on just those two aspects alone wouldn't be enough.

that boy
it would be dissapointing if he did....cause like it or not, First Take is one of the few shows thats willing to take it that far...maybe it was out of bounds, but lets not pretend that discussion doesnt exist somewhere...Im just not sure its the right thing to fire someone everytime a touchy/sensitive subject is brought, ideally I think its great that they can discuss 'cringeworthy' issues like this
Hold up, so now dancing makes you an uncle tom?

He shouldn't get fired. Its a fair discussion to have and alot more interesting than 80% of the same topics they talk about over and over again.
This society is so p*ssy when it comes to talking about topics that make people slightly uncomfortable. I don't like the term "Cornball Brother" but if a dude that is Republican and engaged to a white girl says he isn't defined by being "black" I think its a fair conversation to have.

No, unless the white producers and bosses that sign off on this type of fukery go too.
Come on son, of course dancing doesn't make him a koon. It's a multitude of kooning that does.
