The podcast for First Take. The Segment starts at the 1:08:00 (HH:MM:SS) mark and goes about 15 minutes. Stephen A Smith's full reaction, the host/moderator weighing in, Skip Bayless weighing in, and some unknown guy weighing in.

Yeah, need to at least suspend him without pay for a little for this. People are free to say what they like but if ESPN is going to promote itself as the "world wide leader in sports" then it has to hold itself up to some kind of standard.

Now he is defending his comments on Twitter and retweeting anyone and everyone that agrees with him. People that disagree with him he is calling pathetic and uneducated.

Check out his mentions on tiwtter. this douchebag is getting railed. Pisses me off when I see and hear bull**** like this on TV. ESPN better fire him.

He is but at the same time he is retweeting the select few mentions that he's getting where people are agreeing with him
. smh

It's sad that so many people in the black community view being well spoken, polite and hard working as traits of an "Uncle Tom." So what if he has a white fiance. I've dated white women before. It's not 1923. We can do stuff like this now.

Whenever people say things like that, it makes me absolutely sick.

and not like what Rob Parker did was anything new, but to see black people tearing down other black people...just disgusting.

and to use that platform to do it...come on bro. ESPN is probably awfully embarrassed, because Parker has the internet going nuts today.

[Warpath11]

In the end this clown wins cuz we are all talking about him right now...that is all he wants a typical attention whore

[JMUSkins]

That's an insult to Sharpton LOL

You're probably right.

[Sweet Sassy Molassy]

Ugh, **** like this makes my blood boil, Parker needs to be gone, that's unacceptable to say in any setting. There are so many things I want to say, but I'm not even going to get into it. This **** is pathetic, **** him and **** ESPN if they let him get away with it.

[brandymac27]

The ironic thing is Rob Parker is a clown and a "Cornball Brotha" if I ever saw one.

Yeah, really. Ask some black men who grew up in the streets if they they think Parker is a "real brotha". I bet you they crack the hell up laughing their asses off. Anyway, he's an idiot and should be fired!

#FireRobParker. If you got a twitter, let's make it trend. It's embarassing to us african american natiownide. How we gonna get past racism when even out own are saying ignorant **** like this? Making the whole race look bad. **** Rob Parker.

[Mad Mike]

Jesus Tapdancing Christ. What a moron. ESPN will can his ass by the morning.

More likely that he will get his own show where he can throw even more #### against the wall, create more controversy, and generate ratings by being an ###.

I was watching and I couldn't believe he said he was a cornball brother and he also said Tiger Woods was not a brother(black) either. He then tried to claim he represents the real black people of America, the people of the barbershop. Rob, you lost all your props today ( thats brother talk) I guess I'm not a real brother because I cut my own hair and don't go to the barbershop. I applaud RGIII for wanting to be recognized for his character first and then his play on the field. I am sick and tired of people in my own culture always criticizing other black people because we talk proper or just because we don't fit into the stereotypes that we have been labeled with.

[Duckus]

I am going to read @RobParkerESPN search Twitter stream all day.

[PortisBetts]

If anyone of us said anything like that in our place of work, let alone on national television, we would easily be fired. How does this guy have a job? How is anyone paying him anything. And ESPN backs this? I can do a much better, more informative talk show than this racist loser.
