Russell Wilson not ''black'' enough for some Seahawks teammates?

Today, Bleacher Report’s Mike Freeman shed some light on issues that Harvin had with Wilson, and seemed to back Mike Florio’s assertion that the Seahawks feared the receiver would not be alone in a coalition against Wilson:

Players said Harvin was an accelerant in a locker room that was quickly dividing between Wilson and anti-Wilson. … There is also an element of race that needs to be discussed. My feeling on this—and it’s backed up by several interviews with Seahawks players—is that some of the black players think Wilson isn’t black enough.

This, again, was similar to the situation with McNabb [versus Terrell Owens]. And this, again, will be denied by Seattle people. But there is an element of this. This is an issue that extends outside of football, into African-American society—though it’s gotten better recently. Well-spoken blacks are seen by some other blacks as not completely black. Some of this is at play.

:dwillhuh: This dumb shyt has to stop.

I can see that being an issue. Not that I agree with it, but I can see it happening. Like maybe Russ gets along better with his white teammates, but none of his white teammates are who he primarily works with or something to that effect. You have to remember these players are in their 20s so maturity on how to deal with situations like this play a huge part.
