Russell Wilson becomes second Black QB to win Super Bowl


Quote:What did I say that was remotely racist?
 

99% of TV programming is aimed at white audiences.

 

Like?  What on TV is aimed at a certain racial demographic that would exclude others?


Huh

I think Solid Snake is just mad people are downplaying the significance of Russell Wilson being a black quarterback who won the Super Bowl. He needs to grow up.

Russell Wilson isn't 100% African-American.

I never thought he was. In fact I did not even notice how dark he is when Ohio State played at Wisconsin.

 

Why do people make such a big deal about this while saying absolutely nothing about the player who was actually the first of his kind to play in a Super Bowl?

of course racism works both ways.  bet , black miss America, anything you need to divide from the norm by color and race. are racist in concept.  they are tolerated and not called what they are to placate a pitiful minority that apparently needs some self esteem.   being America I don't particular care if someone wants to do it.  but they wont have my respect, instead my pity. I can't wait until their antiquated idea's perish from this earth.

You know, I guarantee you we would not argue about a minority's individual accomplishment if we were talking about the Seahawk who was actually the first to do something on Sunday.

 

That is because everyone who watched Derrick Coleman's Duracell commercial knows no other player in NFL history overcame the obstacle he did to win the Super Bowl.

 

I am offended that nobody is talking about him because so many Americans still put a lot of emphasis on the successes or failures of black people.

Derrick Coleman is black.


Or are you like Stephen colbert "I don't see race, people tell me I'm white and I believe them because I buy my drugs at a pharmacy"


Colbert said that... Not xJAGGYx! Don't get ur undies in a bunch.

You are so clueless. The vast majority of African Americans are a mixture of African,European, and Native American. We come in multiple shades and colors: from light yellow, red browns, and dark chocolate. Yes his mother is white so was Obamas. Both proudly identify themselves as African American/Black males. Why does this trouble you?

Divide from the norm? What the hell does that even mean? I guess every non-white race should just abandon their cultures. Keeping them is just racist!

I see why a lot of posters don't like you. You're insanely ignorant. I could care less that people are downplaying it. My argument with you started because you said it was not significant. I explained that it was too him, and that's all that mattered. But you kept going on and on with your circlular logic, like it's blasphemy that he feels that way.

Wouldn't that make him the first half black, half white quarterback to win a Super Bowl?

A little off topic. A couple of weeks ago, ESPN televised a college BB game featuring two women one doing color and the other play by play.

 

Im going to downplay it because its women, and it dosent matter anymore.

Whether someone has a liberal, or conservative viewpoint, a authoritative figure should not lock a thread for the sole purpose to get the last word in all the while prohibiting someone else from being able to respond.

To a very small point yes. A woman becomes president...I might make a thread about it, but probably not. I don't look at things like "the first woman to xyz, or the first black/white/hispanic to abc". I look for who a person is...not what they are.

I'd be more impressed if Wilson was the reason for the win than being the QB on the winning team. Not to take away from the accomplishment, but one seems more like a consolation prize.

Just curious.

 

Do you have a problem with certain races or cultures?

 

If its not something you want to talk about on here, you can PM me.

That's understandable.
