Russell Wilson isn't "Black Enough"

Kudos to Carrol and the Seahawks for doing the right thing. I remember years ago Bonzi Wells saying the Mavs would never win a championship or something to that effect because they were too white and was never punished for his statement. John Rocker was blackballed when he spoke out. You can be black and make stupid racist comments and get a pass, just the way it is.

 

Comments in this thread are interesting...

 

True. Sometimes we're our own worst enemy.

Throughout American history, whites were the main culprits of racism, while blacks were the main victims. Any racism is wrong, but it's worse when whites folks do it.

 

His given name is Juan Guadalajara, but he changed it to Russell Wilson to become more white.

 

I like Russell Wilson, seems like a model citizen. I don't know or care what color he is. I prefer people with good character; they make for a better community, a better society.

 

They reported that he is close to the front office which I think is probably more of a problem to the players than this race thing.

 

WTF... I thought his real name was Roberto 'Russell' Wilson !?

 

Wilson should be more black like Manning if he wants to succeed.

 

If he's not black enough, maybe he should tan...

 

what more proof that wilson is minority does one need? he has a thing for white women like all of us.

what's next..
rookie tight end gavin "pablo"escobar says tony romo is not hispanic unless he changes his last name to montana.

 

but he did hit his wife so it's a wash.

Obligatory; Moon was/is one of my all time favorite players

 

I feel the same with Tony Romo being not white enough. Sure he dates country chicks and plays for the cowboys. But does he eat at red lobster?

 

yeah, I hate Wilson.


Another John Cena.

 

A lot of people in this thread don't realize they're being racist.

 

This guy right here, y'all. Hates JJ Watt, hates Russell Wilson, boos the Little Dippers at the Rockets games, but loves High School Musical.

 

I don't "hate" JJ Watt, I hate his character.


Yes, I boo the Little Dippers, and don't forget the Space City Seniors.

and yes, I enjoy High School Musical.


and to close out this pots.

AJ > Paige.

 

pretty disrespectful to even call Russell Wilson black anyways. He's bi-racial. America should have moved beyond 1950s labeling conventions by now...

This will cripple Seattle's offense. Without a dominant running game, Wilson will have to do much, much more.

 

Wilson will prove to the world he's on Luck's level.
