ESPN’s Rob Parker says ridiculous things about RG3, takes ‘First Take’ to new levels

[mrveggieman]

Yep, you just went where I knew you were trying to go....



Wow, you honestly think he was simply minding his own business and was the most perfect person ever...I can't help you.

I'm not, and never said he deserved or should've been killed, but you really are only reading what you want to read.

I consider myself a good person. I don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs, I work hard and get good grades in school. If I remember correctly, the incident took place late at night? If I remember correctly, I'm 100% confident I would never put myself in that situation.

Last time I checked Trayvon Martin was a free man and had the right to go out of his house to buy snacks regardless of time of day. Are you suggesting that there should be some kind of curfew for adults? Per you and all the other conservatives Trayvon was a man and got treated like one.

[mrveggieman]

Definitely not? He's the only poster that I've ever felt made any racist remarks.

Me and you are cool and all but YOU are an idiot of you believe that.

[mrveggieman]

On the cool if any adult weather it is Zimmerman killing Travyon the black guy (I forgot his name) who killed the little white boy Kevin Shiflett in virginina in 1999, the conn shooter, the noraway killer, mcveigh or anyone else who murders an innocent child(ren) in cold blood should be tourted and excuted. Unlike some of the more conservative viewers on here when someone harms a child regardless of race, religion, nationality all bets are off. It's kind of sad that some people on here care less about an innocent child's murder because of his race.

If that's truly the case, then you're not reading. I'm not going to start pointing fingers here, but veg is not the most racist. He's up there, but a lot of what he does that gets called "racism" is his own sensitivity to the subject. The closest he's come to racism is sweeping generalizations about different races. That seems bad until you realize that every single one of us is guilty of the same thing, just with different groups.
I will agree he brings the discussion to race more than anyone, but most racist? I disagree entirely.

I must not be reading then (or just don't remember).

Do we need to go there with some of the racially charged articles that YOU posted?

Fair enough. I think veg looks harder for racism than others. He certainly talks about it more. As such, he's going to toe over the line more than most, but there are people who post very sporadically who make veg look like mother Theresa. There's also a few regulars I'd guess are quite racist, but whom are very adept at veiling their comments.

Then there's also my feeling that everyone is somewhat racist anyway, but that's neither here nor there.

The only time I ever posted anything like that was in direct response and contradiction to something that you had posted.

Right if that makes you sleep better at night.

Everyone has natural prejudices, and it is our job to not let those unreasonably affect our judgment of people. I don't think that's racist. To me, racism is having disdain for a person or group of people, or thinking that they are a lesser level of human, based on nothing other than their race.
