(note: any joke that has to be explained loses its funny, nonetheless...)
there was a post while back where somebody talked about the unmitigated b/Blackness of bringing a whole, uncut watermelon to a company food thing
thus the phrase "bringing the whole watermelon" for doing something too Black for it's own good was created
i like that one

What is really the issue that got people side eying him?

13058454, Hmm.. Posted by BabyYoda, Wed Aug-17-16 09:51 PM
>I think his post game interviews did him in... > >He has that Kobe off field vibe... > > He did well his rookie year. But, he had issues in the locker room, with the HC at that time and to be frank, I believe his o-line purposely did not block for him which lead to him getting hurt.
I do assign some blame to him for his locker room issues along with clashes with the HC. But, the HC and teammates also share some of the blame.
Lastly, I have learned that..
If a person is Black and talk, act and behave in a way that is outside of being considered "Black", then that person is considered "corny", "lame" as well as a host of negative terms associated with being not "Black" enough.

He was running away from being a "Black" QB, didn't want to be seen or labeled as such. It wasn't simply just doing things not considered black. Folks loved to act like it's just that simple as having "different opinions" than most blacks, when in actually those people do generally want to distance themselves from anything even considered black. Shuckin and jivin, tap dancing ass niggas talkin bout "different opinions!" Stop that.
Edit: make no mistake, he is my QB. I've believed in his talent since 2011 when I originally had a huge man crush on him and wanted nothing more than him to be the Browns QB and the one that finally turned it all around. But I'm not bout to sit up here and excuse any of the cornball (possible coonish) behavior that he has exhibited... shit even Cam got sense enough to understand what it means to be a Black man, playing that position, in that league, than Griffin has. Shit, even Russell Wilson has better than him, and he's the number one "is he black enough?" poster child
And when I say they get it more than he does, meaning that they at least returned Warren Moon's call...

Shuckin and >jivin, tap dancing ass niggas talkin bout "different >opinions!" Stop that. >
Let me tell you something..
I stand by my statement because I have seen it as well as experienced it with my own eyes. I have been Black my whole life(well over 4 decades)and know what I am talking about..
Next, based on your emotional response, I am not sure you really want to have this conversation..But, I will play along..
Being labeled a "Black" QB does not hold equal respect than being a regular or default "white" QB. You know this, so why is it hard for you to understand that he wants to be respected for his capabilities in the same capacity as his white counterparts?
Even with all the overrated white QBs in the league, and there is quite a few of them, they do not have a stigma attached to them as being a "white" QB. They are just QBs who either get overpaid, over praised and/or given latitude for whatever ineptitude they may posses with playing that position.
I ain't going to go into the history of what Black QBs went through in the history of the NFL because I believe you already know the business. I do not believe he does not want to disassociate himself from being Black. He just want the same respect given to him for the position he plays that is given to every other non-Black QB.
Next, I was not just talking about different opinions. I am talking about a person's whole get down which includes opinions, tastes, interests, beliefs, actions, etc.
Some niggas simply look down upon certain niggas that they can not relate to. Based on that, a nigga will be labeled this or that and will be treated accordingly. Do not play me and act like every nigga practices negritude and accepts every nigga that crosses his or her path. No group of people does that and niggas ain't an exception!! So, miss me with the bullshit and keep it all the way fonkie!
>Edit: make no mistake, he is my QB. I've believed in his >talent since 2011 when I originally had a huge man crush on >him and wanted nothing more than him to be the Browns QB and >the one that finally turned it all around.

Shit, even >Russell Wilson has better than him, and he's the number one >"is he black enough?" poster child > >And when I say they get it more than he does, meaning that >they at least returned Warren Moon's call...
Now, as for Russell Wilson, his "blackness" has been questioned, especially when he was married to his ex (white) wife. He somewhat redeemed himself a lil by marrying Ciara, but you can not tell me even with that he is treated and considered a "regular" brotha by universal brotha standards.
With Cam, his blackness has not been questioned per se, but his latest interview has came under scrutiny because some niggas do not understand that he has to play the public relations game.
He is not a boss!! He answers to those who pay him. No reasonable person is going to fuck up their paper(multi-millions) in order to appease some people(so called conscious niggas) who expect him to challenge the system of white supremacy w/o offering him any back up (physical, emotional and financial).
So yeah, I said what I said because I know people take issue with RG3 cohabitating with white women. That in itself puts him into the cornball brotha train. It does not even matter how he "acts" because if he came out sounding like Clarence X cubed, he would look even crazier than he does now.
I will say that he needs to grow up some more and I hope Coach Hue Jackson can help him become an elite QB. Only time will tell.

13058514, bruh... Black people who are different tend to look down... Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Aug-18-16 08:06 AM
on Black people too.
9 times out of 10 the Black person who has different interest, different taste, etc does the same exact thing to Black people they can't relate to. They be talking mad shit when in a safe space.
and it's all cool until they have that nigga moment.
but lets be honest
a white dude who hangs with Black people gets called a whigger, white women get called n#####r lovers..
people always make fun of those who stray from the norm.

It goes both ways for sure, but there are also Black people who do not look down upon other Black people, mind their business and still get put down or talked down upon.
Now, maybe you have been keeping up with RG3's personal life, but I do not remember him throwing Black people under the bus, as a collective. Never heard him call his teammate's Black wives awful names. But, I definitely read and heard people slander the shit out of him and his to be ex-wife. Even his child caught some slander which should forever be off limits!!
Now, if he did throw the collective under the bus or slander folks wives or something equally egregious, then perhaps dhe deserves what he got. I will say that he is guilty of feeling himself a lil too much and thought he was above being replaced due to his success in college, winning the Heisman and doing well his rookie season. He found out the hard way and got charged to the game.
In all, it has been stated many times that Black people are not a monolith. So, either we are diverse or we are all the same. Which is it? I know that I never referred to him as a cornball brotha or any other negative word regardless of what he did in Washington. Never spoke ill of his to be ex-wife nor his choice in women he dates, marries, fucks, etc. I just concern myself with what he did and does on the field due to being a fan of football as well as fantasy football.
In all, I just want people to admit that Black people are expected to act, talk, think and behave a certain way by not only members of the dominant society, but other non-Blacks as well as Black folks. There is not much room to be "too" different or outside the "norm" as you stated. Me saying this is not going to change certain people's perception of him. It is what it is, but it does not make it right.

13058558, I know, I am one of those people Posted by BabyYoda, Thu Aug-18-16 09:16 AM
Legs, I just take exception to people shitting on someone just because their get down is different.
If you can't rock with him based on the shit he did while in Washington, then I understand. If you disagreed with some shit he said during one of his press conferences, then I understand. If you are making fun of how he dresses or hair style, then that is cool, provided the shit is funny. But after a while, even that shit gets old.
Where I draw the line is when people go in on his family. That ain't got shit to do with how he is on the field or off the field. Like I said, if dude was going around doing fuck nigga shit to the point where it disrupted team chemistry like undermining the coach, then that is one thing. Ok, give him that work!
But, we all know why dude gets clowned. We all know why he is considered cornball-ish. Let's not play games here.
|
13058568, but he has undermined coaches and players Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Aug-18-16 09:25 AM
dude was in press conferences acting like a coach talking about how the whole team needs to get better, we got holes in certain areas, etc...
he also went above the coaches to the owner to get certain plays called...
one player was like "hold up, when you get magazine covers and rookie love it wasnt WE but as soon as shit goes bad its WE? Nah son"
I agree on the family shit but unfortunately thats part of being a public figure. Some people will make bad jokes...
dude makes way too much money for me to feel sympathy tho. All these superstar athletes will be fine.
and having a new wifey and a tattoo a day after his divorce is begging for more jokes.
Lets be really real.. if RG3 had Russell Wilsons success or Cams success he wouldnt get joked nearly as much.

I understand and agree that he did some fuck boy shit when he was with the Skins. I am not disagreeing with you. He was not a fit for that team hence the reason why he got charged to the game.
But..
His fuck boy theatrics in Washington is not why he gets clowned. You know why he gets clowned. As for giving dude sympathy, I do not expect you to sympathize with the nigga and you are within your right to feel how you feel.
I know that the REAL reason for his clownage goes beyond his stint in Washington or some dumb socks and tacky braids he rock(ed).

He deserves clowning for his theatrics at Washington to an extent. The socks and hair thing was funny at the beginning. But, now......??
The name tat is something I could see people clown, but once again, we know why people feel how they feel about him. I personally am rooting for him to be somewhat decent. I need the rookie WR to do something nice and RG3 has the capability to do a lil damage with the lil weapons he has. >

I should throw your team on that list, but despite their rivalry history, I am more focused on the above enemy squads.
Btw, none of this shit got to do with RG3. You said you clowning regardless of what I have to say. Also, I am not responding to you to convince you to change your perception of dude.
I am just glad to help you blow your thread up. I just want honest answers. No need to not keep it 100.
You and people like you think the nigga is a cornball bamafied snitch ass running to his white daddy/massa ass white woman lovin ass suspected coon ass nigga. You don't care for him and he will forever be seen how you and those of your ilk choose to see him.
I gotcha on that!!

|
13058712, I'm good Posted by BabyYoda, Thu Aug-18-16 12:43 PM
The same could be said about you, but I am just messing around.
I simply do not understand why dude is on people's minds and why they care about how he dresses, fuck, etc.?
The main concern should be how he plays on the field as well as how well he gets along with his team moving forward.
You given me your reasons and I have responded with my POV. Nothing personal towards you, BTW.

13058688, You can be an "Alternative Negro" and still accepted Posted by Cocobrotha2, Thu Aug-18-16 12:04 PM
You have to be authentic though. It can't feel like it's a front or you're doing it for respectability. Folks need to feel they're seeing the real you, "alternative" tastes and everything.
RG3's ultimate issue, I think, is that he comes across as inauthentic. He spent a lot of time trying to establish and embellish that winning "RG3" brand and couldn't get real when it became clear to everyone else that he had big flaws and it was hurting the team.
I'm sure teammates had issues with him when they were winning but he lost the locker room once they started losing and he seemed to try to side-step a lot of the criticism (some of it was unfair but some was fair).
Plus he seems to be a loner... he primarily hangs with his girl, his family and maybe a couple other close friends (outside of the team). Him and his teammates are all pro athletes, so they don't have to be best friends, but any of us that have been working for awhile knows that the aloof, self-aggrandizing coworker that isn't pulling their weight gets no love.

Not sure if the Oline didn't block for him on purpose but if so it's a prime example of how he rubs people the wrong way. His OL had white players too.

of course the other players and HC deserve blame but the problem was RGIII kept reminding the reporters of this and that's not how a QB is suppose to operate. He gets paid big bucks to take additional criticism. I heard he would go to the owner to complain about play calls... that's a serious problem IMO. > >Lastly, I have learned that.. > >If a person is Black and talk, act and behave in a way that is >outside of being considered "Black", then that person is >considered "corny", "lame" as well as a host of negative terms >associated with being not "Black" enough. > >
it doesn't help when a Black person dresses like he is an honorary member of CB4 either

13058530, He has some growing up to do Posted by BabyYoda, Thu Aug-18-16 08:33 AM
I can agree on that. His ex o-line did not block for him based on his attitude and not earning the respect of his peers. If he rubbed his teammates the wrong way, then I can assure you his on-line was also rubbed the wrong way. QBs who want a long career know better than to not establish rapport with those who protect him. Dude was getting killed out there.
But, I also feel that the coaches scheme did not fit RG3s skill set. He is not a traditional pocket QB. Dude came from a conference that uses a spread offense which does not help much once said QB reaches the NFL where it is expected to morph into a pocket QB.
But, aside from that, you have to understand that he is still young. Some athletes develop or acclimate to the pro game slower than others. So yeah, he made mistakes and it costed him to lose his job to Kirk Cousins who I do not think is a better QB. I just think Kirk Cousins is a better fit for what the coach wants to do with that offense.
Lastly, RG3 has a get down that falls outside of what is expected from Black professional athletes. Maybe it has to do with how he was raised or the type of people he associated with. But, the things people say about him is not cool. I understand the sentiment because I have seen what was said on message boards and social media outlets also said in person towards brothas who act "different" or whose get down is such that is not felt by some to many people.
Lastly, no disrespect towards you nor anyone who reads this post, but I really find it odd for men to slander another man based on who that man chooses to lay up with. One thing I never did is player hate! I never ever in my life cared about what type of woman dudes were into because his business is his business which is none my business.
I appreciate some of my friends for keeping their relationship business to themselves and for those who did share some things, I never judged them for their choice of partners because at the end of he day, I did not have to sleep with any of them which I would never have an interest in doing cuz I don't roll like that.
Hopefully, RG3 can resurrect his career in Cleveland. He got the rookie Corey Coleman who went to his school, Gary Barnage who is a good TE with upside and Josh Gordon possibly making some noise, if he can stay out of trouble and get back into football shape. In addition, he has Coach Hue Jackson who has done wonders with Andy Dalton and actually had the Raiders improving before getting fired. I am really not interested in his private affairs. I am interested on what he does on the field. I hope he grows as a QB, a person and becomes a leader of his team and win the respect of his teammates.

13058572, RG3 demanded a change from spread to drop back QB Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Aug-18-16 09:35 AM
http://www.barstoolsports.com/dmv/j-reid-wrote-another-article-about-rg3-documenting-his-downfall-in-dc/
Feb 5th, 2013. RG3 called a meeting with coaches and told them he was a drop back pocket passer and demanded they change the plays, OL protection and scheme.
and this is why RG3 gets clowned. Dude really thinks he is something he isnt.
|
13058615, I understand Posted by BabyYoda, Thu Aug-18-16 10:46 AM
But he is not a drop back QB. Whether he demanded it or not, has to learn how to stay in the pocket. He also needs the line to be a traditional QB. Will he ge that in Cleveland? I am not sure.
Hi get down or personality does not bother me. What he did in WAS was no more annoying than any other entitled athlete who makes a stink in the league. I guess I can tolerate people who do their own thing while others can't.

13058636, it's sports, entitled athletes always get hated on Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Aug-18-16 11:10 AM
Cam gets it Romo gets it Manzeil got it
ain't no one above it, especially if you are a top 5 pick and don't live up to the hype.
|
13058678, Hate is not administered equally Posted by BabyYoda, Thu Aug-18-16 11:52 AM
Romo's hate is not the same as RG3
Manzell's hate is not the same as RG3
Russell Wilson's hate is not the same, but his hate is closest to RG3s hate.
Even that one lineman who got punked by Richie Incognito received some hate or clownage, but that died fast.
Romo despite the criticism is loved by most of the media. He is a Cowboy QB. Bet dude ends up in the HOF @'the end of the day.
Manzell's..eh..He is still popular..
I do agree that no athlete is above scrutiny. Even Beast Mode got shots thrown at him when he played.
ODB got his fair share especially when he got into it with Josh Norman.
Jameis got some heat mostly before the pros
Josh Gordon got his and rightfully so
James Harrison got his
Shady McCcoy got a lil bit
Mike Vick got it the worst
McNabb got it and I thought it as unwarranted
Brady should have got it, but white folk and the sports media love him too much to really catch it.
So forth and so on..
|
13058717, all athletes arent created equally Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Aug-18-16 12:56 PM
they each have a different set of circumstances to deal with..
and outside of Jameis and Manzeil all those other players had an impact on the game and are/were successful.
if RG3 wins the chatter will die down.

13058532, this isn't about RG3. do you remember what we said about jill scott Posted by Rjcc, Thu Aug-18-16 08:37 AM

13058567, I am not up in what Jill Scott did Posted by BabyYoda, Thu Aug-18-16 09:24 AM
I guess I see things differently. This topic just brought back memories about certain dudes who used to get talked about because they did their own thing and fell outside the "norm". One situation I witnessed was funny as shit. I may share that story, but I think I would not do it any justice because one had to be there and hear what as said to really get the humor of it.
|
13058575, you are entitled to your viewpoint. Posted by Rjcc, Thu Aug-18-16 09:38 AM
I'm pretty much anti getting anyone's name tattooed on you, especially when you're still married to someone else.
that's my position on this issue.

I am not fan of name tattoos period. I suspect dude has been stepping out on his soon to be ex-wife for a minute. I also suspect they have been separated for quite some time. Tats can get removed and he has the bread to get it removed or whacked out, should his new situation not work out.
So, I can somewhat understand people questioning his decision making regarding women in general(having game/Mack wisdom or not) and I am not talking about the type of women either, but then it gets to be a lil gossipy which is what I expect from women, not men. He certainly is not the only dude out there there who does shit like this.

13058583, what it really comes down to tho is RG3 said he doesnt see race/color Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Aug-18-16 09:52 AM
and when Black folk hear a Black man say "they" instead of "we" when talking about African Americans we put them on the list.
|
13058637, Ah hah!! Posted by BabyYoda, Thu Aug-18-16 11:10 AM
Now we are starting to get to the meat of the issue.
People do not like the fact that he married a white woman. That puts him on the list. He also used transcended race language and that solidified people's perception that he is a cornball. His theatrics in Washington did not help nor did his fashion sense.
I already knew it. Lol
Let's just call the shit for what it is.
A lot of Black people can't relate to dude, so they resort to hating on dude.
So, I guess these people feel the same way about Charles "Peanut" Tillman when he played ball. He had a white wife, but was a monster corner. One of my favorites and I really hope he makes it to the HOF one day.
|
13058675, wtf? no, it has little to do with the white wife. Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Aug-18-16 11:47 AM
plenty of athletes have white wives and don't get this type of hate. I didn't say one word about a white wife so how did you come to that conclusion?
why are you so focused on the white wife?

His play isn't up to par and he's not seen as a team player which has him lose the avg white NFL fan.
And while WE might give a young black QB a pass in the barbershop he had to pull the 'I don't see race' so he loses many of us too.
And on that last group even here the clowning is lightweight compared to what it could be..this is jonesing on your boy level.

Like he has a bamma-ass curse or something. He needs to renounce the bamma and cleanse his soul with a fresh cut & shape-up and dating a woman with "-ika" "-ia" or "-isha" at the end of her name.
Russel Wilson saw it coming and got a fresh cut and new chick.
