Here’s Josh Innes Calling Jason Kelce a “House Negro”

… on the air, just minutes before cutting to the Doug Pederson press conference, on the network that broadcasts Eagles games.

Josh Innes, talking to Hollis Thomas, who is black, about Jason Kelce, who was in attendance at the press conference:

Innes: “Jason Kelce’s already there, huh? That’s … uh … I’ll give Jason Kelce this, he’s always in character. He never breaks character. His character is: lapdog for whoever the hell the coach is. And he is always … He’s at the press conference, huh? Good for him, bless his heart.”

Thomas: “Actually I don’t really blame him because he’s a guy who wants a job.”

Innes: “Here’s the thing though, right, it’s like this. Let me find a good comparison here. I was watching Malcolm X yesterday, I was in the airport in Memphis watching Malcolm X, and there was a scene where Denzel’s doing the whole thing about the slave and the house negro? Right? And like, the house negro is the guy who’s gonna tell you like, oh he gets to live in the big house with the boss and every time he refers to something that happens in the house it’s ‘our house’ and ‘we’ and everything like that. And then there’s the actual slave that isn’t the house negro that’s just trying to run away. Essentially what you’re getting here is Jason Kelce is the house negro is what I’m trying to convey to you.”

Thomas: *laughter*

Innes: “That’s essentially Jason Kelce’s job: ‘Yessir. Yes boss. Absolutely boss. Yes, sir boss.’ That is Jason Kelce, he is, whoever the head coach is gonna be, he’s gonna be all over that head coach. There’s no arguing, there’s no fussing, there’s no fighting, he’s in with that guy.”

House Negro is loosely defined as: “House Negro” (also “House N*gger”) is a pejorative term for a black person, used to compare someone to a house slave of a slave owner from the historic period of legal slavery in the United States.

at least he was watching malcolm x?

i mean, i *GET* what he's trying to say about dude, but said by him....in the context he's using it....just random out of nowhere?

i'd be nonplussed like a mug if i dude had said that to me

not mad....i don;t think....since it wasn't pointed *AT* me

but still

usually random shit is the result of corporate trying to add something

I'd be kind of impressed if he was talking about the actual recorded speech Malcolm gave about that.

AKA...When "tryin' too hard to be down" goes "TTHTBD".
