I have never really understood concepts such as these, from any ethic group.

Why, just why can't you base opinion of a person on their action, character and merit and just accept they are human regardless of ethic background?

I don't care whom is making pathetic and just plain ignorant comments like these. Don't care if you are talking within your ethic group or not.. don't care about your skin color, don't care about your hair style or relationships.

Not black or white enough, geez we humans are plain dumb at times.

“My question is, and it’s just a straight, honest question: Is he a brother, or is he a cornball brother,” Parker said. “He’s not really. He’s black, he does his thing, but he’s not really down with the cause. He’s not one of us. He’s kind of black, but he’s not really like the kind of guy you really want to hang out with.”

“I want to find about him,” Parker said. “I don’t know because I keep hearing these things. We all know he has a white fiancee. Then there was all this talk about he’s a Republican, which there’s no information at all. I’m just trying to dig deeper into why he has an issue. Because we did find out with Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods was like, ‘I’ve got black skin, but don’t call me black.’ So people wondered about Tiger Woods.”

On Braids:

“That’s different, because, to me, that’s very urban,” Parker said. “Wearing braids is, you’re a brother. You’re a brother if you’ve got braids.

There are all flavors of racism, from all races. I'm obviously an outsider to the "black community" - but I do not understand why some people in the african-american community feel the need to combat over a century of slavery, then segregation, then discrimination with the concept that every black person must have a certain political views, must do certain things, must marry other black people, and other such crap. Instead of white people telling black people what they need to do and that they need to "act whiter" and look whiter (mostly when it comes to hair), you have black people telling other black people how they should act and feel.

Guess I'm just ranting - Shit like this sickens me just as much as when I see any other form of racism, if not a bit more because it seems more socially acceptable, yet is more insidious. Let people live the lives they want to lead and don't tear them down if they don't conform to your ideas of what they should be.

Ok, first off.. Is there a link where I can get the full story? I have no effin' clue on who this guy is talking about.

That said, his mindset (He’s not one of us. He’s kind of black, but he’s not really like the kind of guy you really want to hang out with) is NO DIFFERENT than those of the KKK.

He wants truth, I just dropped it.

How about just the video itself?

WOW. I stand by my original statement. Voiced my opinion on his Twitter, too. The fact that he considered those who oppose his train of thought as uninformed and silly is almost as sad as his opinion itself.

Annnnd, here's why he hasn't tweeted in the past day, despite Twitter/Facebook blowing up with the tragedy in CT:

Someone in the comment section said something that's pretty good. His comments = Rush's comments.

dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .

beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
