NFL 2012 SEASON

“Well, he’s black, he kind of does his thing. But he’s not really down with the cause, he’s not one of us,” Parker answered Bayless. “He’s kind of black. But he’s not really the guy you’d really want to hang out with because he’s off to do something else.”

Parker's questions come one day after Griffin answered questions about the relationship between his race and his career and identity.

"For me, you don't ever want to be defined by the color of your skin,'' Griffin said on Wednesday, via Tom Corbett of USA Today Sports. "You want to be defined by your work ethic, the person that you are, your character, your personality. That's what I've tried to go out and do."

First and foremost, hats off to RGIII for making something of himself and hopefully providing inspiration for other young people that will listen to his words and use them to better themselves.

For the rest of the 'Black' community, those that say he's turned his back on them... SHAME ON YOU!

I'd think you'd want a role model who represents himself in a positive way, who uses terms like 'work ethic' and 'character'.

I don't get it.
