Bryant Gumbel speaks on his son being arrested and police excuses....

[Geek Nasty]

ppl need to get off BG back...ive been saying for years he is pro black...watch real sports...he always have stories about racism and he dont hold back on his commentary...why do he get such a bad wrap? because he carry himself with class?

Because to whites AND blacks, not talking in vernacular makes you a sellout. There's a real history to that kind of suspicion, but it's obsolete thinking.

BG been through hell and back, u can hear the passion in his voice....that man know whats up...black ppl think hes some white washed square, but dude know the game .... u know he had to work 10 times harder than everybody to rise up the ladder

Plus he paved the way for cats like Lester ****, Al Roker, and Tamron Hall's sexy ass.

On the other hand look at for ex. Boyce Watkins or Michael Eric Dyson they are well educated and speak intelligently but are not white washed - voice or mannerisms.

Some of you need to spend more time reading & less time making assumptions. Boyce Watkins & Michael Eric Dyson families were poor & both were raised in low income, urban communities while Gumbel's family was affluent & raised in Hyde Park, Chicago which is a middle class, multicultural neighborhood (especially during the 50's - 60's.). Also Gumbel's father was a judge, who put himself through law school & graduated 2nd in his class from Georgetown. So based on Bryant Gumbel's rearing & living/social environment as a child/teen-ager, this is more indicative of Gumbel's so called "white demeanor" as opposed to him actually being a "white washed" c00n or uncle tom.

"As a leader, he was the first black to hold office in a national Catholic student organization. As a father, he was both strict and kind. While rearing his four children in the racially mixed neighborhood of Hyde Park, near the University of Chicago, he not only wouldn't let them get away with bad grammar, but he also wouldn't let their friends get away with it. ''He was very hard to impress,'' says Bryant's brother, Greg, 42, a sportscaster with the Madison Square Garden Network and, starting with football season, with CBS. ''A C should have been a B, and a B should have been an A, and if it was an A, why wasn't it an A before this?''

Any black man that marries a white woman is a c00n. Any black woman that marries a white man is a bedwench . Just the game

So...

According to your logic every affluent Black talks and acts like Gumbel ...

Stop it ...

We both know that this is far from true.

You choose to speak a certain way

And the most economically deprived of us can code switch and speak 'job interview' when we have to ...
