Russell Wilson is a good role model, seems like a good guy, and is a great young quarterback.
Not being 'black enough' is a bunch of hot air. It reeks of jealousy. I did read Russell is 4th generation College, meaning he comes from a highly educated black family with strong values.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if he voted Republican.

There are about 5 things wrong with your statement.
The first one, and the most obvious one, is the dodge.
He asked you for evidence that someone said Wilson wasnt black enough. Not evidence that Wilson isnt black enough.
The second, we know who said RG3 wasnt black enough.
3rd, what does this have to do with left vs right ????
Anyone who says, opines, intimates or even hints at judging someone else's "blackness" or lack thereof is a racist gooftard. What-the-ever-living-fudge is the proper amount of "blackness"? Who invented the scale, what is the scale, what are its parameters, and who gets to judge Russel Wilson according to it?
Agreed tho "thug culture" seems to be the gold standard of being "Black enough" to some people of ANY race. The decent Black dudes and ladies who take care of business are called "acting white" and so on by hood rats.
Seems legit to me, Russell comes from a family similar to Jonathan Martin's, solidly upper middle class and successful before end of Jim Crow. They had certain standards of behavior that would be unfamiliar to the ghetto or backwater Blacks that dominate the NFL.
There used to be a running meme that compared Wilson's and Kaepernick's Instagram. The contrast was funny.

There is no dodge. I don't have any evidence as to what was said. I'm just passing along a link and a report from a couple of journalists. You can choose to believe it or not. As far as 'left vs right,' that was a bit of a PUI, and I probably shouldn't have said that. But see post #6, where a poster says that

it's just more fodder for the conservative race baiting cannon.
Why don't you ask that poster what this has to do with conservatism? In truth I think politics will inevitably figure into an issue like this. When the RG3 controversy came up, it was all over political talk shows. That's the only way I heard about it, because I don't follow or listen to anything about the NFL.
anytime you hear the phrase "not black enough" its black people who initiated the statement not white conservatives
i'm black and i know this as fact. anytime a black or mixed "black" or adopted "black" doesnt act in a certain way or conform to what xyz thinks is "black" then they get labeled at minimum "not black enough" "uppity" etc then they venture out into the "sambo" and "uncle tom" or "house/porch-nnn" realm
white conservative and white liberals only say what they think whosoever wants to hear
