OT: stunningly stupid and racist commentary on RG3

[Icebear]

I heard that described as "crabs in a bucket" by an elderly black lady mourning the death of her grandson who was killed because he refused to join the neighborhood gang. She said that whenever a black kid in the neighborhood (a Baltimore ghetto) tried to get out the crabs in the bucket would pull them back down.

Yup, that is an analogy used for anyone attempting to overcome their social class and rise above it. It originated with female Philipino author Nino Rosca.

Remember Howard Cosell?

Nan, this situation is different. Cosell said something while doing play by play in a game He was one of the few in the media that back up Ali during his suspendtion from bxing and they were lifelong friends. The RGIII situation was during a panel talk show and was meant to hurt RGIII by implying he was an Uncle Tom.
