Is RGIII black enough??


The TV show The Young Turks decided to talk about the controversial generated by the declarations of Rob Parker, when he said in the First Talk show that Robert Griffin III isn't enough black for him, because according to his speech he usually doesn't go with people from the black community, he has a white fiancee and he is republican. So from his point of view, he is more a cornball bro, that it means to be like an uncle Tom or a Carlton Banks, an african-american raised in a white neighborhood. For me this is the most funny discussion that I have listened in years. Is Robert Griffin the Third black enough?? It's hilarious, it's nonsense, RGIII doesn't need to define himself as a black.
First of all he was born in Okinawa, Japan, so his point of view may be different than the rest of the afroamericans. Maybe he's like a Carlton Banks but what's the problem?, he's a superb quarterback!, and that's the important thing. Finally about his fiancee, I can't believe someone judge him because she is white. Hey!, c'mon!, we're in the 21st century, it shouldn't be a problem. I love white, black or asian chicks!. Hey!, wait!, I think I'm a cornball bro, too. Oh, I suppose it can't be helped.

Maybe, Rob Parker say this, because he feels that there is a lack of afroamerican QB in the National Football League, and when suddenly appears one that may be one of the greatest, he feels that he doesn't represent him, maybe he expected that he would be like other black famous players with attitudes closer to what Parker understands is a real bro or one of us, but what he can't do is blame RGIII to be what he want to be, and of course, for having a white girlfriend or for voting the republican party. I'm sorry, I disagree with him. I think that he doesn't need to change himself, his attitude, his behaviour, to force him to have a black fiancee or to vote to Obama for allowing people insecure like Parker to feel represented by him. Any person has the right to be what he or she wants respecting others.
