ESPN: RGIII 'Cornball Brother' because he may be a Republican? Or is it because his fiancee is white?

Earlier on ESPN's First Take, sports columnist Rob Parker made unfavorable comments about Washington Redskin's rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III.

The Blaze:
(Rob Parker's defense to calling RGIII a "Cornball Brother:"
As transcribed by The Washington Post’s Dan Steinberg:
“Well, [that] he’s black, he kind of does his thing, but he’s not really down with the cause, he’s not one of us,” Parker explained. “He’s kind of black, but he’s not really the guy you’d really want to hang out with, because he’s off to do something else.”
Why is that your question, Parker was asked.
“Well, because I want to find out about him,” Parker said. “I don’t know, because I keep hearing these things. We all know he has a white fiancĂ©e. There was all this talk about he’s a Republican, which, there’s no information [about that] at all. I’m just trying to dig deeper as to why he has an issue. Because we did find out with Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods was like I’ve got black skin but don’t call me black. So people got to wondering about Tiger Woods early on.”
Ultimately, Parker's blast from the past take and explanation to RGIII's articulate and intelligent demeanor is a perfect example of not only an ugly racist perspective, but more importantly chronicles substantial jealousy which mirrors a significant dilemma Michigan faces with Detroiters today: illiteracy rate at 47%.

Unfortunately, Mr. Parker's attacks must stem from deep resentment being that RGIII has only demonstrated complete professionalism as a very well spoken successful athlete. The world has now seen Rob Parker's verbal astuteness.

Meanwhile, step #3 from "How to be articulate: 8 steps - Wiki How" states: Think before you speak. This helps to eliminate verbal pauses and may prevent you from saying something that does not make sense.

Don't beat yourself up too much for falling in the 47%.
