RG3 Responds To Kendrick Performance: Embrace Your Roots

[El Bombi]

Okay I was working just now, so that's why I didn't respond. I've had enough cam discussions on the Coli, to not run away from it. Now tell me if I'm wrong, but didn't Cam say those quotes after he had backlash yes or no? How about we use their ORGINAL quotes, ready?

Cam Newton

"I’ve said this since Day One,” Newton said. “I’m an African-American quarterback that scares people because they haven’t seen nothing that they can compare me to"

Robert Griffin the third

“My parents raised me to not ever look at race or color,” Griffin told the reporter. “So it doesn’t have a big part in my self-identity"


I don't know why you're trying to make them seem similar, they're not. There's nothing wrong with it but the truth is the truth.

Black man...check...

The word "roots"...check

Chains...check

Reference to a smart dumb nikka rapper giving a smart dumb nikka musical performance at an award show made by white people for white people where the smart dumb nikka rapper either didn't say the most controversial lyrics in the song or the network edited it out...check...

Tell them I don't even need any Tabasco with this...it's already the perfect c00n sandwich...

When corn was on top of the world he didn't want to be labeled as a black qb but now that he got to build himself up he want to take a picture in chains getting back to his "roots"...

Not true. He said this from jump:

"We always try to find similarities in life, no matter what it is so they're always going to try to put you in a box with other African-American quarterbacks -- (Michael) Vick, (Cam) Newton, Randall Cunningham, Warren Moon,'' Griffin said. "Warren Moon and Doug Williams really didn't run that much. That's the negative stereotype when it comes to African-American quarterbacks, that most of us just run. Those guys threw it around. I like to think I can throw it around a little bit."

He clearly tied himself to being black. He just told white folks to stop lumping blacks all together

This is what I remember:





One is Cam....one is RG3.
You tell me the difference?

Oh and BTW: I'm pretty sure Cam said his quotes ( The top one), after he had backlash. Again I mentioned it in the earlier statements.

Secondly RG3 quotes ( The bottom) was made during his rookie season, when he was on top of the world. That's his mentality ( Nothing wrong with it); but let's not try to pretend they're the same. Situations were completely different.

RG3 made those comments before the season started. When Cam was a rookie, he blamed Vince and Jamracus for how he was treated. Cam waited until he built "I'm in the super bowl now" capital to challenge bigots thinking like RG3 did from jump. But that's ok with you, right?

Can this nikka at least do something with his braids. shyt looks like tattered ends of a beat up broom.

DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A NEGRO
WHO IS TRYING TO BREAK FREE FROM HIS CHAINS?

You @SJUGrad13 ....I'm still waiting for you to tell me the difference Between cam and RG3 comments

There's no difference which is why Cam was called out by some for his c00n comments.

The only c00n comment Cam made is when he left bigots unchallenged and accepted their beleifs that we are all the same, blaming Vince and Jamarcus for making it harder on him.

 

[Vilify]

The more this c00n shyt comes up with RG3 the more I realize firing Rob Parker was probably the appropriate action to take. That one comment has affected RG3 for years

Nah Rob was scapegoated. ESPN chose to have that discussion on TV. They chose to push the envelope by venturing beyond the realm of sports. The show is scripted debate so Rob's stance was already known and ESPN could have edited his comments out if they were so bad but they didn't.. They also should have fired the producers that green lighted that segment not just Rob.

The shyt Cam said in response to white amerikkka's backlash over his original comments concerning race was c00n shyt too.

 

[Rekkapryde]

I'm always conflicted on this dude. I think he got an incredibly raw deal from his coaches, from fans, and from people who casually shyt on him for seemingly no reason outside of having braids and not having any personal flair.

But I look at the nikka and he really does look corny as fukk.

That's all it is.

RG3 and Cam both said the same shyt, but one gets a pass because he isn't corny and the other is. That's all.

Neither is a c00n IMO and both have their flaws. I think both will learn and have learned from their mistakes and will be fine.

 

[Rekkapryde]

The shyt Cam said in response to white amerikkka's backlash over his original comments concerning race was c00n shyt too.

I expected it and most should have. The plea copping for the backtrack was the most disappointing thing, but it is what it is. We cop pleas and make excuses for those we like. Only thing I wish we did was to stop falling for the divide and conquer tactics no matter who tries to initiate it (yup, we do it to ourselves almost as much as cacs do).

And Rob took the bait and chose to brand RG3 with that "cornball" label for no reason other than the fact that he was having a great rookie year and getting too much love. Pure crab shyt. I doubt he intended for it to blow up that big, but I have no sympathy for Rob Parker...

That has nothing to do with his Vince and Jamarcus comments he said years ago. Dude is moving the goalpost years past that
