Let’s just talk about the hard-core facts before we get to Manley’s ignorant comments.
Out of the top 10 rushing quarterbacks in 2015, 2 are black, 5 are white, 1 is Hawaiian and 2 are Biracial. Athletic quarterbacks who can run come in all races, creeds and colors in today’s NFL.
When you are a black person like Dexter Manley and you are perpetuating black stereotypes, all you are doing is holding our race back. We have enough problems as it is and we don’t need to make it worse for each other. I am going to assume he meant it like the cops are crooked and black people are used to running away from them, but honestly I don’t know. He could have meant it, like he said it, that we are all criminals use to running away from our crimes.
The white reporter next to Manley clearly knows it is out of line, but it sure looks like he wants to laugh. Which makes me a little uneasy to be honest, just because someone isn’t dumb enough to say it aloud, doesn’t mean they aren’t thinking the same thing.
What might be an internal joke to some, the true racists of the world will use this type of trash to further spew hate against black people. It is the one thing I wish Charles Barkley would understand, that while he is entitled to his opinion, when you are black and blaming black people for the shortcomings of a few, white people put that on ALL OF US.
Very disappointed in Dexter Manley, because that was very disrespectful to RG3 and every black quarterback who has to fight this stereotypical nonsense from prejudice and racist people and media daily. They don’t need this crap from people who look like them.
