I disagree completely with his narcissistic opinion of the matter. There have been plenty of black QBs, with his skill set or similar skill sets. (I honestly can't remember any QB period that was built like a LB). But there have been several who could run like a RB and throw very well. Randall Cunningham. Steve Young (yes obviously he is white). Russell Wilson. To name a few.
People don't have a problem with Newton because he is black. And it's really, really weak of him to suggest so. They have a problem with the narcissism. I understand and realize there are cultural differences between black people and white people. And there is nothing at all wrong with that. But I say this isn't even a cultural matter.
His talent is truly elite. It's just a shame his personality isn't. And it's a real shame for him to have thrown out the race card.
The problem with him is that he is playing the victim card to a tee. Nobody black is going to call him out even though they know it, because of many reasons, mostly because he is just black and/or fear of retaliation from other blacks. I've tried to like him but the reality of it is he's just not likable. Extremely great talent though. He's probably the MVP of the league and rightly so.A lot of people don't like Cam Newton, and I'm one of them. He's a huge jerk on the field. When he says he is "incomparable" he is correct in several ways. In a business with a lot of jerks, there's never been one quite like him. We've seen many insufferable players, but that personna is usually reserved for some of the RBs, WRs, and the like, not the leader of the team.
Don't revel in your notoriety, egg it on, then run and play the race card... that "I'm an African-American QB that may scare a lot of [white] people." Are there some white racists out there, sure there are. But, I' think there are tons more, white and black, that just don't like you for how you comport yourself. I wonder if that has ever dawned on him. People really don't like YOU. Most folks so completely narcissistic probably never get that.
