Boxer Bernard Hopkins Thinks Donovan McNabb Isn’t Black Enough

Piling on the Donovan McNabb hate train with Redskins coach Mike Shanahan is boxer Bernard Hopkins. Why the boxer decided to pop out his opinions on McNabb is odd but here you go.

Hopkins believes that McNabb has let down his race. Yikes. We’re not just talking about throwing too many INT’s here. Hopkins goes full racial here and states that McNabb may have watched “Roots” but he just don’t understand it.

JUST DAYS before a title bout that could eclipse the miracles of George Foreman, ageless phenomenon Bernard Hopkins addressed what really matters:

Questioning former Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb’s blackness and mettle.

According to Hopkins, McNabb had a privileged childhood in suburban Chicago and, as a result, is not black enough or tough enough, at least compared with, say, himself, Michael Vick and Terrell Owens.

“Forget this,” Hopkins said, pointing to his own dark skin. “He’s got a suntan. That’s all.”

Hopkins also implied that, while Vick and Owens remained true to their roots, McNabb did not, and that McNabb was rudely awakened when the Eagles traded him to the Redskins last year.

Kinda reminds me of couple of months back with Jalen Rose and Grant Hill when Rose pulled out the Uncle Tom references as well. Hill, to his credit, fired back with an awesome response basically telling Rose to stop being ignorant.
