Where's KT when you need him?

Rob Parker needs to be sat down by ESPN... I saw that and was like you can not be serious... ESPN tried to bail him out and dude kept speaking more foolishness.

Without saying anything wrong... He "Rob Parker" himself is just as much a problem as people of color with racial prejudice in the US. Dude was out of line... especially bringing up the color of his fiance... gtfo of here.

[Jackofalltrades]

I know this is not a common opinion but I feel that racial pride, or believing that people of your race need to act a certain way, is a form of racism. So to me, what he said IS racist.

I agree with this. I don't think most white folk are proud of those they deem white trash. On the other side those deemed white trash aren't usually real hot on those casting the first stone.

Listen to me guys. Rob Parker is an IDIOT, and he has been for a long long time. And he doesn't speak for black people. And on that note:

ESPN PR on Rob Parker's comments today on First Take: "The comments were inappropriate and we are evaluating our next steps."

[Dpantherman]

From 2008, he has no class. This is why he got fired from the Detroit newspaper he used to work at.

[Scrumtrilescent]

I wish I had some idea at all at what he was asking/saying in that Lions clip.

I'm surprised Bomani Jones hasn't said something this ignorant yet.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

all I know, Cam got swag

[Kakarot]

I'm surprised Bomani Jones hasn't said something this ignorant yet.

What has Bomani said or done in the past to make you think he'd say something this ignorant?

All I got to say about this topic is, Rob Parker with that "crab in a barrel" mentality smh.

@CA_Radio

Parker's comments were ignorant, wrong, dumb, hurtful, useless. But if it gets First Take taken off the air... TOTALLY WORTH IT!

I'm betting you all didn't listen to Bomani on 850 when he was working here in Raleigh.

[g5jamz]

Racism is never going to go away if people like Rob don't stop saying things like that. Why is he even talking about RG3's skin color? I thought that the entire goal of the civil rights movement was for everyone to be treated equally and for peoples skin color to not even matter.

That's what's said as long as you're a liberal democrat. Listen closely...he makes that point.
