Hilary was ahead for some time until South Carolina, read game change change. Older black folks were most definitely riding with Hillary, I know damn well my parents were... partly out of fear Barry getting that assassination work

He basically gave Rob Parker the
and told him to mind his own f*ckin' business.
Rob Parker lost all my respect. If he were white we'd be calling him "backwards" and "ignorant" right now.
For sure
. Ladies and gentlemen this is called CRABS IN A BARREL!!!

older black folks =/= all black folks
but I said I had no idea if it were true before the primaries. When the primaries happened, black people were riding for Barack.

You can still be an Uncle Tom and give back. You can still be a bamma and give back. Doesn't ignore the fact though that he's kewnin and Tomming for white folks regularly and is clearly a cornball who wouldn't be able to step foot in my barbershop.
I guess what I'm saying is your post proves nothing. Altruism by the hands of celebrities and athletes is a false altruism as far as I'm concerned.

exactly.. its like the movie with Denzel 'Inside Man' where the rich Jewish dude who got rich off the Holocaust tried to erase his sins by giving money back to charity.
obviously its not on the same level, but you can see the parallels
I personally dont find anything Rob Parker said to be wrong, in fact, I'm positive a good amount of the posters in this thread have said similar things around your group of friends eventhough yall acting outraged on here 
Facts is....RGIII does have a c00nish characteristic about him. I'm glad he's performing well. He a young brother doing it, but he does. And it has nothing to do with him being smart or because he doesn't act ghetto. Donovan McNabb was probably the safest, most smiling, non-ghetto acting negro there's ever been in the NFL but, he still didn't come off like RGIII. Robert's that black athlete in high school who had an all white group of friends, a white girlfriend, and every album by Fall Out Boy.
With all that said, this shyt is in-house, barbershop talk only and by in-house, I mean between blacks behind closed doors....not shyt broadcasted on global mediums. I would never say this shyt on ESPN

Rob Parker is a clown, been a clown, and is always going to be a clown. That's the only thing I'm definite on in this situation.
As far as RG3's comments. I see both sides of the fence. I understand not wanting to be put in a specific box, especially one with such negative connotation. But I don't feel like there is anything innately wrong with being a "black quarterback" with pinpoint accuracy, good decision making, a high IQ, and all the other things black quarterbacks are said to stereotypically lack. The way "black quarterback" has become such a dirty phrase bothers me. Like I said I understand not wanted to be put in a box, but acting like being a black QB is somehow an inferior or lesser designation than just quarterback strikes me as actively running away from it rather than simply not letting it define you. Being a "black quarterback" is a big deal. Many people endured a lot of things to make it possible so downplaying the relevance of it... I don't really care for.
Now to Cam and his comment. The part about blaming VY and Russel for the negative stereotypes he faced doesn't sit well for me. Did they squander an opportunity? Yes, but that doesn't somehow lift the responsibility from others to view people or players by their individual merit rather than skin color.
The part of his comment I did agree with is him wanting to change the negative stereotypes of Black QBs rather than just distancing himself from it all together. He doesn't seem to be running away from being a "black QB", it just seemed like he didn't really understand all that comes with it. I'm sure his ass understands now, after what he's been through this season. I'm not going to hold that against him forever, I still fukk with Cam, I just hope he's learned from it
And here we go with the "I'm so different, most black people aren't on my level" special negros.

Oh and I don't think there is any question he's a cornball though.
I don't chose to relate that to his "blackness" though.
