Report: Seattle players don't like Wilson because he isn't "black enough"

[broboma2012]

on my wrestling team we had a very dark skinned african american named marcus. the other lighter skinned african americans enjoyed making fun of him for this. they even came up with a nick name for him: 'Darkus'.

used in a sentence it sounded like this:

'Darkus shutcho black asss up!'


I just had to laugh. of course it was tasteful and the exact volume appropriate for a Caucasian, laughing at black people making fun of each other for the color of their skin.

Black people are so racist against themselves. They refer to lightskin people as "redbones" and look down on them. But the moment a white guy does anything remotely racist...

White people refer to people with red hair as "souless gingers". White people are so racist towards themselves

I know right! If they are allowed to be "racist" against themselves why should they be upset if white people are racist against them. White people are always getting the short end of the stick in society!


P.S. being light skinned and dark skinned isn't being a different race.

[MoCheddaTheDon]

I wondered this too, my old roomate and his friends would talk sh*t about light skinned black people. i asked one of my black friends about it and he said its because light skinned one are more cocky and arrogant, dunno if its true though

No, it all boils down to slave times. The darker blacks of today were generally the ones working in fields, aka the rebels of slave labor. They didnt suck up to masters

Ligher skin blacks were usually the house slaves, and sucked up to the master..


it's a stupid divide ... no reason why they should still beef about it

Souless ginger is obviously something out of jest, no one really cares about gingers. Dark skinned brothers actually have disdain on lightskinned ones, due to positive public perception of light skinned black people.

OK, prejudiced, biased against, etc. The intent is still the same

[Kevlar14]

Keep drinking that coolaid lmao

Peyton was sued for putting his whole ass and ballsack on his female therapists face back in college, and on numerous occasions showed up drunk to games (srs)

There's also a video out there of a married Peyton manning putting two blonde girls in his limo from a few years ago

It's fukcing KOOL-aid, m8. Get it straight.

You must be a lightskinned black person lmao


Its because their blood isnt pure, not because they have a positive perception (which they dont). Russell Wilson isnt even lightskinned. He has some Native in him and for some reason that phenotype is strong in him but if I had to guess his race without knowing, "Black" would be the 4th or 5th choice.

[TheCore84]

It reminds me of Russell's si piece on his exclusive inner circle and his brotherly bond he has with these guys. They're all super preppy white boys lol (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Strong bulge on the guy in the red.

Not sure if a Canadian knows anything about Black dynamics. It's pretty obvious light skinned black people get treated better, going back to the slavery days when lightskinned were house slaves and the dark skinned were field slaves. You Django brah?

Strong focus on guy's crotches to notice that. lol

Again, Canadians have no idea about race relations in America, stop talking when you know nothing

Frankly, as a light-skinned African-American female, I am tired of seeing women who look like myself presented as the epitome of complexity when it comes to setting forth the many different layers of the black experience for a mainstream audience. Yet we all know why this happens. A lighter-skinned black person is more marketable to an overwhelmingly white-dominated space. Not to mention, white appeal equals more marketability. The brown skin with a yellow undertone is the color “nearest [to] the light,” as Goethe once wrote, or in this case, to whiteness. White moviegoers want to see their reflections. Film is a form of escapism tinged with a dash of possibility from this perspective. A white character can be a villain or a hero while exemplifying a wide variety of emotions, and for a light-skinned black character with a name as equally “safe” as Samantha White, it all makes sense. She was able to show her radical and revolutionary side while effortlessly switching to her vulnerable side, via teary eyes, deliberate hesitations in speech, and even hairstyle changes to reflect her character development.

The study, which sampled over 12,000 black women imprisoned in North Carolina between 1995 and 2009, showed that light-skinned women were sentenced to 12 percent less time behind bars than their darker-skinned counterparts. The results also showed that having light skin reduces the actual time served by 11 percent.

A 2006 University of Georgia study showed that employers prefer light-skinned black men to dark-skinned men, regardless of their qualifications. We found that a light-skinned black male can have only a Bachelor’s degree and typical work experience and still be preferred over a dark-skinned black male with an MBA and past managerial positions,” said Matthew S. Harrison in 2006, then a doctoral student in applied industrial organizational psychology at Georgia.

Stick to hockey brah

I dont live in Canada. My location is fake. I'm black and LMAO at that "Study"

Light skin and dark skin is subjective

If you were really black you would know about the light skin/dark skin divide since you were born. Reds gonna red

[EvilChicken]

If you were really black you would know about the light skin/dark skin divide since you were born. Reds gonna red

I went to a HS where like 45% of the kids were black and I never saw any issues between lighter/darker. It seems like it's been exaggerated lately.

It has been due mainly to mainstream culture, but no doubt this was an issue inside black culture for a long time.

Are you a lightskinned black person? Answer the question, you bitter vanilla wafer looking *******

[injuredlife]

What a tough guy. You must be killing it in life, bro.

This story was "broken" by a national media guy, and every local reporter is scratching their head and trying to figure out where it came from, as they have never seen discord in the locker room.

Freeman is trying to go the Bayless route and stir up **** just to get page hits. It works in this day and age.

Nevermind him. I am a 49er fan, he is a 49er groupie. Mentally suck off any player that wear a red & gold football jersey. He negged me for calling out Kaepernick for the mentally weak scrub he is. Colin is an embarrassment on the 49ers franchise

Is Johnny Manziel an embarrassment to the Browns franchise?

He's an embarrassment to the human race

[Swept]

Is this story even true?

LMAO misc making assumptions on his teammates, for all we know Wilson looks down and feels superior too those other guys cause he was born into a wealthy family, I know Wilson went to a very rich preppy HS in Virginia. He might of developed a snob attitude.

[SompletelyCober]

Where is Shweezy

Yes, yes, he will help clear all of this up. I would like to hear his input.

[SmarterChild]

Lynch isn't a thug? Lmao

Good looking group. Wood be friends with/10.

Seriously. Since when did this become something negative? Like a negative connotation with being white? I bet these guys all go lift together in the Gym Shark stringers, then go get a nice, expensive haircut (SS haircut obviously), go out to a party, mix their drinks, get chit-faced, smash some stuck up white sloots, and then all crash at each other's house and draw cocks on the most drunk person's face with marker pen and shave his hair with a shaver and put shaving cream on his hand and tickle his nose.

[waytoodeep03]

Its crazy this reminds me of this episode

[DrSlam]

In 2014, no they dont.

This

Black people talk about all skin complexions indiscriminately. Light skinned the same treatment as dark skinned. Ugly, fat, too skinny, dumb, nerds, etc... You get joked on. It's just chit talk, nothing else.

Only people you see that really care about this chit is Monicas in the suburbs or that grew up in an mostly majority area

Don't know enough about the situation nor did I read the OP but he looks like a coon which is the black equivalent of a wigger so that's probably what this is about if this is an issue

[kmart07]

is this thread serious?

[certsguccicerts]

Didn't read the whole thread, but has anyone considered that someone said this as a joke? I mean if a reporter just overheard this or got a non serious answer to a question and hit a news gold mine in return.

People have told me I am "so white" before jokingly...is it racist? I guess but no harm done
