“But time and time we keep hearing this, so it just makes me wonder deeper about him,” Parker went on. “And I’ve talked to some people down in Washington D.C., friends of mine, who are around and at some of the press conferences, people I’ve known for a long time. But my question, which is just a straight honest question. Is he a brother, or is he a cornball brother?” What does that mean, Parker was asked.
“Well, [that] he’s black, he kind of does his thing, but he’s not really down with the cause, he’s not one of us,” Parker explained. “He’s kind of black, but he’s not really the guy you’d really want to hang out with, because he’s off to do something else.”
Why is that your question, Parker was asked.
“Well, because I want to find out about him,” Parker said. “I don’t know, because I keep hearing these things. We all know he has a white fiancée. There was all this talk about he’s a Republican, which, there’s no information [about that] at all. I’m just trying to dig deeper as to 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 got to wondering about Tiger Woods early on.”

You might be right but since I don't know what an "RG3" is, I can't say for sure.
It's not in the unsnipped part of the article and I don't want to click the link nor read all the comments trying to find out, I suppose I'll just remain willfully ignorant.
LOL!!!
RGIII looks like an amazing young man to me. Athletic, good looking and seemingly grounded.
He seems humble and can express himself well.
I hope he can stay above this stuff. I agree with the other poster who opined that his had to do with growing up as a military dependent, in a family that had a man and woman that lived as husband and wife, taking an interest in raising him, and taught him what parents should bestow on children...respect, responsibility, and love.
I feel bad for him, in a way. Sure, he makes a gazillion dollars, but there are going to be people gunning for him because he doesn’t want to participate in their nonsense.
I imagine he will be a pariah in some circles, though he is fortunate that his status as a sports figure will help him avoid that in many respects. If he were in some other profession like Thomas Sowell or Allen West, he would find it more difficult to avoid.
I have always thought how difficult it must be for someone like Thomas Sowell to be a conservative. To have to live as an island...
Rob Parker: racist first class. Explains everything that follows.
“By all appearances, RGIII is a man of God. “
I saw RGIII make the sign of the cross before heading on to the field and raise his finger to the heavens after scoring a TD.
So why isn’t RGIII getting the Tebow treatment? Then again do I really need to ask?
I know what at TR3 is but not RG3 am i outdated?
I don’t like the Redskins. But I do like RG3.
ESPN should fire Mr. Parker. Or issue a public apology to Rush Limbaugh. I’m not holding my breath. A black leftist making crude, racially insensitive comments is just fine. Let a rich white conservative do the same and it’s off with his head. Our society is screwed.
Many half-black people are doing the all black act..
Poseurs in black face.. much like President Obama..
Its not new or unusual but it is strange.. and pretty much a lie..
Had to happen when you have a black racist cabal in charge of things...
Black racists have replaced the old White racists..
Pretty much the same thing.. except funnier..
almost Amos and Andy-like.. “Mystic Knights of the Sea” and
everything.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSrNDpcMkR0
Now I know why I like this guy.
No, it's correct but only for young (18-29) black men. Take a look at the chart on the right about halfway down the page: Link
When I hear Black Racist nonsense from people like this future client of the criminal justice system...I cringe
RGIII is a class guy who you would not mind your kids looking up to. He had his BA from Baylor in 3 yrs....and his parents are long serving career Army who have done tours of the Middle East.
The Black Racist disdain for success is assinine

Oh, okay...thanks. That doesn’t surprise me since their unemployment percentage is the highest of any demographic. Being broke sucks.
Not black enough to suit the racists.
LMAO
Smart, humble, well spoken, respectful, reverent. These are all plusses.
It's fun to watch him play. He truly has a natural talent for the game.
White girl friend (still trying to figure out why this is an issue.)
He braids his hair. Umm yeah and so... It kind of looks good on him and I'm a little jealous that he has enough hair to braid.
So of the issues raised by this idjit Parker I see nothing but positives or thing about which I don't care and their none of my business anyway. The only thing I have against him is that I am a Giants fan and he is a quality player on a division rival. Can't really hold that against him.
Final result. RGIII = good. Parker = Jackhole.
It shouldn’t surprise me, but it does. Unfortunately, very few of the broke black men I know make the connection between Democratic Party rule and the lack of jobs and economic opportunities.
I guess it matters where you are. The Black dudes I know from around Philly are stupid and will never learn. The guys I know here in Gainesville, FL are in Engineering school with me, and they understand.
Tiger is one quarter black. He is more Asian than any other race. Now remind me what did MLK said about skin color?
