I started a new thread because I believe the previous thread lost its intellectual honesty. I belive that Rush did not and I repeat did not insult anybody at all regarding his Donovan McNabb comments. And he certainly did not make a racist statement. And if you allow me to make my case to you I can prove that Rush is neither a racist or a bad football commentator.
Here is why I believe this. I have carefully analysed what he said. He believes that McNabb is overated. Why? Because he believes that the media wants to see a black quarterback succede. He then offered evidence to justify his comment in the face of reality that the Eagles have won alot of games over the past three years and played recently for 2 NFC champioships. The evidence was that in his opinion that those victories came to them as...ARE YOU READY....BECAUSE OF THE DEFENSE!!!!!!!! A DEFENSE THAT IS MANNED BY 9 (NINE) BLACK MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
If Rush was a racist trying to destroy a successful blackman's reputation I hardly believe that he would do so by heralding 9 other blackmEn as the real reason the Eagles were winning! Don't you think thats a lil funny? Be racist to one blackman but fair and compimentary to nine others. Political correctness saturates every aspect of American culture. From testing standards being lowered for the firemans exam to the college entrance standards being lowered at the local university. This bias does exist and has been engrained in every vocation in this country today...why is it absurd to question that it exists in the NFL?
Secondly Rush made a pure football critizism that on its merit is valed. He beliebes that the real reason for the Eagles having won was the defense has carried the team! Now how is that different if John Madden had said it on his program? You can accuse Rush of being wrong on whether the defense carried the team and you can dissagree with him and say in your opinion that McNabb is not overated and he is the reason the Eagles have won. And you can even argue the point whether or not many of the media are effected or not effected by all the national hysteria Politica Correctness regarding race...
But what you can't intellectually argue for and or a make the case for, based on what rush said, ..and that is that he is a racist! Not every time a white man mentions race is it a sign of racism! The other commentators that were black and on the air with Rush realized in his questioning McNabbs overall impotantance to the Eagles that Rush paid the highest compliment to 9 other blackmen that a sports caster could pay them. And that is they were responsible for the Eagles success. That is why the other black news casters on the show did not say much at all.
Rush can be insensitive..but racist never. If he was why is it that he frquently has his vacation replacements on radio be black men such as Walter Williams and or Thomas Sewell? He intrust the listenership of the largest radio program in the world while he is on vacation to blackman. Oh yeah he sounds like a real racist to be. Give me a break!!!!
The only racists here on this subject are the so called leaders of Black America that have Rushed to judgement and jumped down Rush's throat in an attempt to discredit him with their racist lies. All they have done is demeaned the real issue for those that are racist. Black America quit crying wolf and save the real charge of racism for those that deserve it. Grow up and realize you hurt your own that really are the victims of racism by making the general public weary of such false charges and insensitive to real racism!
