I don’t understand and I am not saying what either this half wit, are Jamie Fox were right for what they said, but what is the difference in what Rush Limbaugh says all the time to infuriate people both white and black, everyone knows he is racist and has made a living and I might add a very good one by his racist rhetoric and frankly this man should have been run out of town on a rail for trying to start a race war all by his self, I say what’s good for the goose is good for the gander!

According to Parker, you’re not ‘real’ black if you have a white girlfriend or if you’re a Republican. But braids are good indicator of ‘pure brother’ status. Odd, the combination of bigotry and racism those criteria espouse: Pure Brother, Color of the Girls Skin, Braids – it’s the opposite of everything Dr. King had hoped. Those criteria have nothing to do with the character of Robert Griffin III or any person for that matter. In fact those criteria are only important to a racist.

I found the comments offensive too. But if ESPN is soliciting and promoting comments like this, wouldn’t it then be completely hypocritical for them to turn around and fire Parker for saying things he would likely have otherwise kept to himself? Parker was just their pawn for ratings.

Guy should be fired ASAP from ESPN and this is not the 1st time he has said something stupid that he had to apologize for either. I myself have grown to like RGIII more and more each day with everything he says and does. he is a risk class act

Not only inappropriate but freaking stupid. Who cares if 1 he has a white woman. 2 he is a republican. Lord helps us if he believes you work to earn.

Gotta agree with 95% of the takes on here. Racism is indeed a two way street, and the tide has really turned the other way.

It’s ok, people.

Those on the left (all of sports journalism) are allowed to speak this way, because they are “down for the struggle”.

This hypocrisy has existed on the national political scene as far back as I can remember.

I love how Skip Bayless dug a hole so Rob Parker could fall into it

Skip: What did his braids say to you?

Lol brilliant strategy Skip, even though you and Rob Parker are both idiots

Parker should be fired, as should the producer who put his comments out over the air.

This is the same guy who on this show has said he didn’t want to shake Guiliani’s hand after the Yankees won the World Series because he disagreed with his politics, has said Goodell is a disgrace and should be fired, has claimed that all steroid users should be in the hall of fame and has questioned Tiger Woods blackness. He is an idiot who always makes idiotic comments. Why should ESPN fire him now? They have made no attempt to reprimand him before.

Give me a break. The guy was being facetious. Aren’t we beyond feigned outrage yet? It’s getting old. We have a black president for crying out loud and yet we are still the most easily offended country in the world.
