Cam Newton: We're All The Same Color and Thats the Big Picture

[Millan]

Welp...

 

[Axum Ezana]

keeping it real would cause him to lose those under armor, Microsoft, and Gatorade endorsements

maybe but he still got a 100 mil contract.

what they gonna do? bench him? then the league would really have a shyt storm.

I think you may be missing the bigger issue tho...by speaking on it in the way he's doing he's painting the picture of a post racial America that doesn't exist. And when a successful black athlete of Cam's stature talks that way he gives ammunition to racist cacs who can justify their discrimination. He makes it harder on the next generation of black athletes and leaders when he says that our problems don't exist

Why the fukk

should an athlete be anyone's symbol or ambassador for any political movement

I'm still lost on that. I wouldn't even let my kid hype Cam when playing Madden because of the towelhead shyt. I'd clown the fukk out of him then run the score up and dare him to take a towel out the linen closet. But nevertheless, I'm not going to instantly and immediately tear another black man down for a statement when I know for a fact how hard it is to find people who genuinely care about the community and show that with their actions over a period of years.

I just don't have that in me.

Went from The Colis #1 favourite athlete to #1 most hated in less than 10 months

Eh?

The only thing he's feeling is not letting down the entire black community again. He's not frontrunning, he's still embarrassed. Dude didn't take the same loss the rest of the Panthers did. He thought he was about to win for black people with all the shyt he was talking leading up to the superbowl. And that was dope, but instead of handling it like a man at the one point he needed to most he couldn't.

This isn't some "oh i love black people when i win" shyt at all. Come in, yal just making up shyt now. Dude genuinely feels like he let black people down. Is that true? No. But everything he's done since the clock hit zero has shown that.

What's the rush to tear him down?

but ive never heard cam say he let down black people. and he hasn't showed it either with these tip toeing interviews.

 

[Bless't]

remember when the coli thought this nikka was militant cause he danced in the end zone

90% of this board was dikk riding him being "anti establishment".

Super Bowl ETHER done shed out Killa's True Color

Does he really need to explicitly say it?

I mean, its pretty damned obvious imo

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

What does the Panthers owner have to do with this tho? Cam is big enough to think for himself. And big enough for his opinion to not be brushed aside if siding with Kaep

People would rather believe he's saying this nonsense to protect his bread rather than accept the fact that he really feels this way.

 

[Flight]

Dude has been making these "I'm not black. I'm OJ" ass statements all offseason. Incredibly disappointed in him.

cam never really came off as some type of spokesperson for black people despite his like able personally, I been been noticed he was a Oreo nikka back at auburn, I mean he went to auburn

he could have kept his mouth shut and not said anything but at some point the media would have addressed him about it eventually.

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Hard to believe dude got a degree in Sociology

Shows you the value of an Auburn education
