Russell Wilson is a black man (mixed heritage) who played college football for the University of Wisconsin during the 2011 season, in which he set the single-season FBS record for passing efficiency (191.8) and led the team to a Big Ten title and the 2012 Rose Bowl. Wilson played football and baseball for North Carolina State University from 2008 to 2010 before transferring to Wisconsin. Wilson also played minor league baseball for the Tri-City Dust Devils in 2010 and the Asheville Tourists in 2011 as a second baseman.
Wilson was selected by the Seattle Shehawks with the 12th pick in the third round (75th overall) of the 2012 NFL Draft. In 2012, he tied Peyton Manning's record for most passing touchdowns by a rookie (26)
and was named the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year. Only 6 black quarterbacks have played in a Super Bowl and only 2 have won it. In 2013, he led the Shehawks to their first ever Super Bowl victory, and in 2014, led them to a second straight Super Bowl berth. Wilson has won more games (56) than any other NFL quarterback in his first five seasons, and is currently the second highest rated NFL passer of all time behind Aaron Rodgers, at the time, the second highest paid player in the NFL. But BLACK MEN don’t
seem to like him (not counting Shehawks fans).
Here’s why:
“Russell Wilson isnt black enough”
Back in 2014 there were stories circulating saying that some Shehawks players claimed that Russell Wilson isn’t black enough. Those are some sentiments that I’ve heard from friends and throughout social media about Russell Wilson and other brothers that speak in complete sentences regularly. A smart man would understand that blackness comes in all shares, shapes and personalities.
Even if a man doesn’t act like you and your dumb ass friends doesn’t mean he is less black than you.
“Russell Wilson is a Simp”
That article sums up my opinion on this matter. Read HERE
I don’t know when it became cool to worship all the worst shit about ourselves. Maybe it started in the 70’s when they started getting the black father out of the house. But hopefully we eventually go back to how we were in the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. Back then the black community held themselves to the highest
of standards.
Now we have emotional men being raised by emotional women without their emotionless fathers in the house. And most of these young men’s fastest path to popularity is through dysfunction. SO I can understand how we are where we are now.
How a young man who is happily married to his wife can be called corny for publicly honoring her. How that same man can be called corny for doing the job of raising another mans son. I think it is interesting how we think his behavior is abnormal but don’t think the same of the shit on Worldstar.
I never really liked Russell Wilson because he is the quarterback of the Shehawks (I am a Niners fan). But I respect how he handles himself on the field and how he is with his family. Russell Wilson is a good dude. I wish we had more like him.
