heard about this story on the way home from work last night. was very happy to hear many black people calling the show about it and saying how they think it's ridiculous, but that growing up in communities they did get ridiculed for "acting white". in the communities that some of them come from, being successful and speaking properly and not sounding ignorant is just looked down upon. sad state that these communities are in.

i just never expected something like that at the highest level, especially considering every single NFL player is about as successful as a person can get.

You're confusing success with money. The NFL is the "highest level?" You've got to be kidding.

the nfl is the highest level of football you can possibly get to. so yeah, i'd it's as successful as one can get in their career. and yeah, money definitely comes along with success.

What matters as a football player is how well you and your team play not, who you play for. Money does NOT always come with success and is NOT the measure of success.

That's how it is where I came from too, and I'm a white as Michael Jackson. It's not exactly apples to apples, but intentionally ignorant rednecks are every bit as bad as intentionally ignorant blacks, and there's more of the former than the latter.

He's just on another baseless old man rant. Ignore him. Eventually he'll trail off and fall asleep.
