Today i had an intersting conversation involving a black guy and a white guy on the topic of Jordy Nelson. He was brought up by antoher saying the Packers could have had another more "valuable" draft pick. He even suggested Desean Jackson. I came to Jordy's defense claiming they were no where near comparible as players, only in the sense that they were both rookies. I went on to explain Jackson is a slot receiver who is a home run threat. i went on to explain the Packers already had two wrs in DD and Greg Jennings who fit this mold. I said Jordy had size\speed and would bring strength to the position. He saw my point. Now another colored guy jumps into the conversation. Hold up, the packers drafted a black guy with their first pick? WTF? Thats racist! you can imagine the rage i felt when hearing his ebonics. I asked him how it was racist to draft a white guy? If a team were to draft all blacks is that racist?Another(white) guy jumps into the convo. Everyone knows you can only draft a white guy as a QB or OL haha. He thought it was funny... Did he realize what he just said? I went on to explain the SAME scenario defending Jordy. Black guy didnt budge. White guy well first off he thought Jordy was only 5'8???! He must have been confused with another white wr Wes Welker.Try again buddy he's 6'3 215 lbs and ran a 4.51 seems pretty athletic to me. He eventually commented that he did do pretty good for a roookie, especially being 4th string. A few others commented giving Jordy a few compliments, but for the most part it was my knowledge against their's. I directed this towards the black guy "Jordy had 108 receptions as a sr, he's good. If you dont believe me go to youtube and watch his punt return against your Long Horns."
I know i shouldn't let this bother me especially since this guy's two favorite Qb's are Vince Young and Mike Vick. He buys into this ultimate myth of black supremacy but yet he couldnt even cut it as a high school player. He obviously doesn't fit into this category. It's just ridiculous how much people listen to what they are taught by the media! Anyways i usually try to stay out of these uneducated fan talks but htis one really got to me. I felt i had to stand up and im glad i did. However; this will be my last talk on this matter to the public. I cannot break through to them without coming off as a white supremecist. I will talk and make comments to my close friends on the matter and will continue posting here, but the damage is done
