Not black enough?
December 20, 2012 - 8:33 am
Robert Griffin III, known to professional football fans as "RG Three," is a rookie QB sensation for the Washington Redskins.
He also has a loving mother and dad, a fiancée who is (brace yourself) white and he might -- might! -- be a Republican.
In the eyes of some, that makes RGIII a "cornball brother," which in this context means he's not black enough.
That is the controversy surrounding ESPN analyst Rob Parker, who was suspended for making these remarks. But if someone like Rob Parker can utter these thoughts on television, you know it isn't an isolated thought and it begs the question:
Is this kind of stupid prejudice shared by a significant part of the black community?
