Sorry Verge, you just took over as my low scorer. Eight wrong :(

I will give you credit on one point. You got a couple right that some others didn't :thumbsup:

So am I now classified as not being racist? Sweet, as long as I don't say Cam Newton won't be a good qb I'll be alright!

Well, to clarify, the point of the test isn't really to determine whether you are racist. It's to determine whether the charge that Nolan Nawrocki is racist has any merit.

The notion being that if he actually is, we'll be able to tell whether he's writing about a white quarterback or a black one by looking at the profile.

So far, it's not looking good for the accusers :D

I have to admit I'm getting a kick out of seeing folks try to figure out who's who though :lol:

When I moved to US from another country, race card is the first thing I've notice. It is heavily overused in US... Because of people like Moon, racist bias is still overused today. People just need to stop screaming "Racism!" for no reason. Racism is a hate of race, not one person. Just because one guy said "Newton sucks" does not make him a racist. If you want to accuse someone of being a racist, you better show a history of hate, not one incident... especially an opinion sport article.

Ah, but Warren Moon says there's racism behind Nawrocki's evaluation of Newton, remember? And some of our own have chimed in that it's true.

If that's so, then it should be easy to pick out who's who in these reviews, right? :D

There is very little question, in my mind, that those of us who are not a minority see the world with very different eyes.

We should be respectful of Warren Moon's perspective. that is in my opinion. He has lived a life we have not, both inside the NFL and outside.

Years ago, when working in DC, I had lunch with one of my peers who is an African Amercian.

The TV was on in the restaurant and it happened to be yet another time when DC's former mayor, Marion Berry, was being arrested.

i asked my peer what she thought of this situation, and she gave me a totally unexpected answer.

She said: 'it is difficult to be part of a race that is consistently judged by it's lowest element'.

This Lady was immaculate in dress, in professionalism, in kindness, has a Master's degree, and she was telling me, in her way, that none of those things mattered.

The conversation has stayed with me all my life.

It does not hurt anyone to see the world through others eyes and to open your own eyes to what they see and experience.

I heard many things said, for example, about Ben R. One thing that was not said, was that he was a 'thug'. For Cam Newton, a very young man, with no history of violence, that word seems to gets used quite a bit. Why? Think about it.

Spot on. Moon says 'I thought we were past this'. Well Warren I thought we were well past anyone using the Race card?

Guess what? People gave The Golden Calf of Bristol poo for different equally stupid reasons. He was fake, too good to be true, the mission trips are just BS for media blah blah blah.

Oh and I didn't like The Golden Calf of Bristol or Eric Crouch coming out as an NFL QB either, Guess that makes me Racist as well right?
