Donovan McNabb defends his blackness
13 May
Shortly after Bernard Hopkins called Donovan McNabb out for his lack of ghetto hoodness blackness by saying:
“Forget this,” Hopkins said, pointing to his own dark skin. “He’s got a suntan. That’s all.”
“Why do you think McNabb felt he was betrayed? Because McNabb is the guy in the house, while everybody else is on the field. He’s the one who got the extra coat. The extra servings. ‘You’re our boy,’ ” Hopkins said, patting a reporter on the back in illustration. “He thought he was one of them.”
Replace “guy in the house” with “slave in the house,” then replace “on the field” with “in the field,” and Hopkins’ message is Uncle Tom-clear.
Donovan McNabb quickly fired back, defending his blackness even though he was raised by both parents in an upper-class Chicago suburb while attending private school:
“Ill-informed statements such as the perplexing one Mr. Hopkins muttered recently are dangerous and irresponsible.”
I just think it’s funny how McNabb issues a really white-sounding statement to defend his blackness. Should have said this:
How dis nigga be talkin’ shit is crazy. B-Hop finna get his ass whooped!
It would have been way more convincing.



Look at those guns.









Say whaaaaaa?
