*We guess Rob Parker likes the taste of his foot in his mouth.
The ESPN writer/commentator who was suspended for his not so smart, ok, dumb arse comments, about Robert Griffin 3rd‘s status as a black man, is at it again.
With a recent appearance on a community access show in Detroit called “Flashpoint,” Parker sort of apologizes for his comments, but mainly inserts his foot in his mouth again and blames ESPN “First Take” producers.
Parker said that despite the network’s shock, “First Take” producers knew what he was going to say about RG3 and allowed him to proceed.
“I mean, we had a discussion inside a pre-production meeting. ” Parker says in the interview. “And not every single word but they knew which way we were going. I think, it’s not just off the cuff, obviously.”
Parker also backed off his apology in a sense, saying that he never claimed he thought RGIII was a “cornball brother”, he was simply raising the question which therefore means he shouldn’t have received the backlash that he got from every human being on the planet.
“It was just a conversation that’s had in the black community when athletes or famous entertainers or whatever push away from their people. And that’s really what it was about,” Parker said defensively. “We saw with OJ Simpson and some other people where they say, ‘I’m not black, I’m OJ.’ So it’s more about that, not about RG III and what’s going on. It’s more about this thing we’ve battled for years about why people have pushed away from their people.”
To cap things off, Parker not only basically rescinded his already half-ass apology, but he said everyone who reacted to his comments was out of line for being mad. In other words, don’t blame him.
“I mean looking back on some of the comments I can see where people can take it out of context and run with it,” Parker said. “But the response and what happened over the past 30 days with everything was just shocking.”
Oh yeah, Parker’s suspension is over in about a week, so get ready for more superb insight. Whoopee! Can’t wait.
I personally see where he’s coming from. Hell,I thought the same when RG3 declared for the NFL draft and won the Heisman,the first person you saw was his white girlfriend! All I said,as I stared in shock,was not another one.smh
Co-sign.
Personally, after hearing RGIII speak–intelligently, but too arrogantly for my taste–I was turned off and find myself quietly rooting for Russell Wilson and the Seahawks.
ESPN announced that Parker is gone for good from their airwaves. His contract ran out on Dec,31,2012 and will not be renewed.
Parker is the poster child for idiots……..
If you look at RG3 and his accomplishments and the main thing that comes to your mind is his race – you are probably a racist. If you form a negative opinion about the man because of the color of his skin and the color of the people in his life, then you are a racist. It is that simple. Hell, claim it if you think it.
Parker’s statement that RG3, or any other Black entertainer or athlete, has “pushed away from his people” is straight out ignorant and racist. He is speaking as if all Black people have to follow these certain rules and laws and limitations to be “Black”.
Parker is a big idiot who obviously didn’t learn from his first mistake. He ought to be removed from ESPN before he drags them down even further.

You know?, I DO feel you ‘on your post! But….RG3′s “dating/speech other BS is irrelevant! It should be about respecting our rights to do WTF We want with “OUR OWN” lives! After all?, “that’s” WTF “freedom” eeah! Observing what RG3 “seems to NOT be doing” is an issue?, but look at how many “RUN/stand” behind the so called leaders like “Sharpton/Jackson/Bankwell etc… who “look like” they are doing something?, but in reality?, ain’t doing a FKn thang but ALLOWING the BS against their own, to continue!! So ‘on one hand?, you have those who “don’t appear to be “down” & on the other we have those who “look like they’re down”, but are NEVVA called ‘on their …”Chicken George BS”. “I” for one can separate the difference in one living THEIR life vs. “standing in judgement” of another’s rights/decision of their choices. Again…NOT that I “agree with” those choices, but after all “WTF does their life have to do with miiiine?, not a fkn thang!!! And there are a plethora of peeps who “silently do worrrrrk” for their own, even though they may date/hook up with a “Becky”! And “I” feel?, “that” mofo is waaaaaay “Blacker” than a fake ass/bootleg/Tommin…”leader”/gatekeeper!! B/c that person is concern with living their own life while “improving” other’s! While the “leaders”?, are ONLY concerned with getting ….massa’s check. Wah waaaaaaah! Check it!, “MJ” only seemed to invite “White kids” to his crib/do for etc…?, but actually? he ALWAYS GAVE A GRIP!!!! of money to inner city schools etc… NATIONWIDE!!! as well as abroad!! But let the “media tell it”? he only cared about…”White” kids! see WTF I’m sayin!? (Just “one” example!, another is Lil Wayne!!, regarding the “giving” not the White kids!) (back to the athletes!) And truth be told?, most of these athletes couldn’t get the “time of day” from a sista/OR a Becky “b4″ they were paid! And couple “that” with these athletes mostly being the ONLY Blacks ‘on these “ivy league” campuses! So like…what else does he see BUT…”Becky’s”!?? And it’s also IGnant as HELL!!!, to equate someone’s “Blackness”, with how they “speak”! There again….”trippin ‘on the wrong shyt”!! Again…no excuse!!!, but I think it’s time We “also” examine “ourselves/this “Willy Lynch BS, “1st”!!!, & then these athlete’s experiences in “chocolate city” & see if they always got the “luuuuuv” We like to ASSUME they received. Eithah waaaaay?, peep’s have “thier own” reasons for what they decide, & those reasons aren’t always so…”black & white” (no pun!) Lol! But for real though! Hollah,One!
As for POTUS?, ask yourself this question…..”how?, tha FK!!, could a “Black” man who ALL gravitated towards (including over 400k Germans!!) be such a great…liar!!?? Answer?….he AIN’T!! The “system” is the real guilty party here, & “they” uuuuuuse our hatred/gulable nature towards each other at their will, to deflect attention away FROM…”them/the system”!! And the “threatening tactics” you mentioned?, are just a fkn “nano hint”!!! @ WTF Obie has been told & shown, for him to abide by WTF “they” want/make him to do!!! But…even after all this tiiiiiiiiiime AND evidence, it’s easier to point the finger at “one of Our own” (assuming you’re AA, wink!), than tackle the truth of what’s reeeeeeeally goin ‘on! And meanwhile?, YT/the system luuuuuuuuvs the dumbness of “the people” & “due TO that dumbness” nevva gets their hands dirty, “doin” all the dirt OTHERS take the hit/fall for, thus? enabling the BS to…continue. But?…I digress.
It is a very sad thing to read the derogatory and offensive words from Black people about Black people.
jus saw in Ny post or was it Daily News .. ESPN has not renewed his contract so he has been let go ………………
