It just gives off the image that not only do "blacks" embrace the brother role but that if you aren't one of them, **** it you might as well be a white dude. Like RG3 being well-spoken is a bad thing. I don't know what the hell he was thinking talking about this stuff on national TV.
I think its made worse because of the position this guy is in. The fact that a guy in an news position, sports or not, is sitting there trying to figure out if he is more or less down with the cause just insults not only his race but honestly every part of the country that actually has a desire to not to draw lines constantly.

He said he was uncomfortable going down that road. Which, they were all pretty uncomfortable after he said that shit. He did say it shouldn't matter about the color of his skin. That no one went into anything saying they were gonna be the best black this, or the best black that. But he did start talking about RGIII's cornrows, and other shit that gave him some blackness that would indicate he's not some guy who doesn't care about his race.
