this country will never advance until somehow this color #### ends. and I mean fast. I think the statement in question is a roundabout way of expressing jealousy. we are all your boy.

The fact that anyone ponders "black enough" or "white enough" is a sad commentary on our society.

Agreed. Thanks a lot, Obama.

Actually I think this is it.

There is also an element of race that needs to be discussed. My feeling on this—and it's backed up by several interviews with Seahawks players—is that some of the black players think Wilson isn't black enough.

This, again, was similar to the situation with McNabb. And this, again, will be denied by Seattle people. But there is an element of this.

This is an issue that extends outside of football, into African-American society—though it's gotten better recently. Well-spoken blacks are seen by some other blacks as not completely black. Some of this is at play.

Note the article is by Mike Freeman, who ... is black.

I know this all to well. Not something that started with the Wilson thing. Any brothers on here care to explain? But it will be a one sided conversation because true black people would never post here.

Your assertion, if you are serious, is racist in and of itself. What other skin color deals with this stigma? Whites? We have many different types along the Mendoza line. We've got Rich East Coast Jewboy, Hippysurfer Weed Guy, Cletus E Southerner, Bro-dy Fratdooshers, Wiggity Wack, Burbdad, Jiminy McHipster, Cowboy Pete, and probably dozens of more stereotypes. Nobody accuses any of them of not being true whites!!!

Don't get me started on the Asians or the Hispanics. This is nothing less than abject stupidity.

When you can come up with a white or Hispanic or Asian equivalent to "Uncle Tom", talk to me.

I can't. That is my point. Anyone who gives validity to the concept of 'Uncle Tom' in the flat - world, superconnected 21st century is an idiot. Sorry for party rocking.

If Uncle Tom is a black guy who acts white, wouldn't ###### be the equivalent of a white guy who acts black?

Uncle Tom isn't someone who acts white. Uncle Tom is someone who is actively complicit in the oppression of their own race.

And there are some twisted individuals out there who think it's the same thing.

Color is never going away imo. It is an observable trait, and people will continue to make assumptions. Now, the assumptions, may change over time - which is what I think you are going for.

People make snap judgements everyday using things like color, attire, speech, height, weight, and other physically observable traits. They are obviously not all correct, but they are, for the most part, based on some historic truth about people who share similar traits.

My guess is, there won't be any article by any one at a real sports website that backs this up, and instead it'll remain what I think it is: Clickbait, by a clickbait website.

Thanks Sheik. Good thing Peyton Manning isnt the Seahawks QB.

Actually the original article compares Harvin/Wilson to the Freeney/Manning situation.

When you have to go through a 25-page 'slideshow' to read an 'article' it tells you all you need to know.

Well when he says "and it's backed up by several interviews with Seahawks players" Freeman doesn't exactly back that up himself, does he? Which interviews and by whom?

If there's anything to this, players not liking Wilson, it'll come out in other outlets.

My guess is, it won't.

Schoolly D has always wondered if he's black enough

Check out the Maceo Parker sample around 2:20. J-Lo used the same sample about 20 years later.

Dumb white people call smart white people 'nerds'.

Dumb black people say smart black people aren't 'black enough'.
