Exactly, it's about "behavior" and nothing more. I tire of the Cam supporters and Cam himself trying to make it something bigger than it is. It's not unusual to see a black quarterback in this day & age and Cam ain't nothing new, ... I hope he realizes Doug Williams and Russell Simpson have both won SuperBowls and doesn't make the faux pas of thinking he's the first/special, ... of course, him & most his fans probably weren't born when Doug Williams broke that "barrier", .

Cam did an interview printed in the Wall Street Journal yesterday (Cam Newton Won't), I didn't read the whole thing because I ain't subscribing to WSJ for full access, where he tries to interject race into the whole thing. Absurd. People are not critical or "afraid" because he's a black quarterback, that's nothing new, people are critical because he frequently acts like an immature, privileged biotch in a professional sport and they're afraid of his running game, nothing more. It just cracks me up how guys like this try and take ya' back on race relations in this country by interjecting something into a situation that just isn't there, ... Yeah Cam, "it's because you're black", .

Don't forget another of my personal favorites... Warren Moon
And Randall Cunningham

His claims are insulting to those QB's that actually DID experience real hate.

Yeah, I didn't even bother making a list because there's been so many black QB's in both the NFL & College ... mute argument, IMO. If it were the '40s, '50s, '60s & '70s, I could see the point, but them days are gone. Can't wait for Cam to write his autobiography, about his struggles growing up in a 2 parent, middle class household in suburban Atlanta, attending an appropriately funded high school that had enough books/educational aides for the students, an outstanding sports program, working bathrooms and was properly maintained. How despite being a stellar student (not), he was hardly recruited and unable to attend a decent college ... of his struggles to break race barriers and get drafted by an NFL team, yada, yada, yada, .

I tell ya', this new generation of civil rights guys miss the mark, IMO. Know what the real travesty in the NFL is? Kickers. When was the last time you seen a black man kick a p.a.t. or a field goal? That time the Lions trotted out Suh doesn't count, publicity stunt. When's the last time you seen a black man kick a punt? Always on the receiving end, #smh, I don't think they even got any brothers holding on field goals/extra points, #NFLkickerssowhite, . Somewhere out there, there's a kid who just won his local city punt/pass/kick competition, but knows because of the color of his skin, he'll never be considered as an NFL kicker and realize his life long dream ... that's the real travesty in the NFL, not the "black QB" debate, .
