Seriously? That's about as bigoted as those guys calling the transgender player "it."

About? No difference to me.

I continue to be confused by the need for all the races in our country to segregate them selves but also cry about racism at the same time. To me its as big of an issue as the long standing "traditional" racism that has existed. I mean a white person saying something similar would have been fired already.

So we have traditional and non-traditional racism?

I think he means acceptable and unacceptable racism, at least when it comes to being what is viewed as PC.

It seems to be traditionally be acceptable for a black person to criticize another black (or even a white person) in regards to something that might demerit their credibility as a member of a certain race and it's always simply just viewed as "keeping it real".

When a white person tries to "keep it real", it's viewed as racism nearly every time and they are at a podium 24 hours later making a press conference apology.

Not to wax on wheter it's right or wrong, that's the way I see it and it just feels like new-age racism-lite. I could care less what race your girlfriend is, what kind of car you drive, or your political affiliation; it's all about how decent you are as a person and how well you represent the team and organization. I for one am pretty proud to own an RG3 jersey as he seems to be just a generally good person (also doesn't hurt that he is an amazing athlete on the field also )

Woah don't put words in my mouth. There is no "acceptable" racism. I think the word traditional speaks for itself. We've had a problem with racism in this country in the past, in this world really, and that racism in its general form is what I am talking about.

Well, sorry to put words in your mouth then. I guess I don't know what you mean by "non-traditional" racism so I likened it to what I thought you meant. That said, if you think there aren't forms of racism that are viewed as acceptable in society every day I have a time-share you might be interested in.
