VIDEO: Rob Parker Questions RGIII "Is he a brother or is he a cornball brother?"

[newday]

Rob Jackson got what he wanted. Say something provocative and idiotic. So reasonable people are offended and pay more attention to him. It's what Fox News has been doing for years. It brings us all down to a lower, more cynical level. Must tune out.

[Saqs]

I doubt anyone is going to be checking for him to say more idiotic statements. He's gotten his 15 minutes of dunce time.
If he's not fired, I expect an on air apology "to those that were offended". I doubt it'll be sincere though since it'll more than likely be forced by his paycheck signers.

Hey Rob, I'm white and listen to hip-hop and I'm a democrat. Am I sort of white?

Depends...What color is your fiancee? How do you style your hair?

Fire people that do not like RG3

How do you style your hair?

I think he wants a couple of sacks on Sunday.

I have a work friend whose son sometimes bemoaned the fact to her that he didn't feel he was black enough for his black classmates, nor white enough for his white ones. He is very phenotypically black, so he can't "hide" in any sense. I told her he's got to keep his head up because eventually being into different and unique things, carrying yourself with dignity and being able to relate (at least to some degree) with everyone is what makes you truly distinct, great and earns admiration. Last thing I want is for a kid into manga and Japanimation (somehow this is 'white'? lol) to lose sight of who he is and get dragged into "thug" culture because around here, though the population is very small, that's basically what's available to young black kids unless they hang out with the white kids. From her description he seems like a great kid, at least he is athletic and will be pretty big so he can defend himself if he has to.

Reminds me of part of Obama's 2004 DNC speech (One of the best speeches of our time IMO):

Go into any inner-city neighborhood, and folks will tell you that government alone can't teach kids to learn. They know that parents have to teach, that children can't achieve unless we raise their expectations and turn off the television sets and eradicate the slander that says a black youth with a book is acting white. They know those things.

"cornball brother"?

"That's a clown question bro"

Statements like this coming from this "First Take" show are not surprising.

I've watched it on occasion while on break here at work and all these guys do is pick sides, yell, and have these forced debates. Kind of like a ESPN's own Dr. Phil show, Springer, etc. Sports trash.

[General NSJ]

Just when I thought ESPN couldn't give me anymore reasons not to watch them, they just keep on delivering. Rob Parker is a tool and he needs to give those brown suits back to his uncle. I'd love to hear his definition of a "real brother". I already know what he means, but I'd just love to hear him say it.

I happened to be hooked up to a Smart-o-meter when I watched this video and here is the result:

First Take should be on by now I believe...anybody able to see it? Did they start of the show with any kind of apology or anything?
