3 year's later both Rob parker and Doug goltebb work at fox sports

The real question is why does he go to the barber shop twice a week....

When "keepin it real goes wrong"

He's an ESPN employee. He should stick to sports. Nobody cares about skin color in football, only if you're a good player.

He deserves this for also hating on tom Brady.

"I'm uncomfortable with where we just went"

"When keeping it real goes wrong; look at that hair line" funny.

Ephraim Salaam, I have to thank you for being a decent human being and that is all that matters.

I remember watching this live, and will never forget the absolute look of stunned astonishment on Stephen A. Smiths face after Parkers obviously idiotic comment.

Dave Chappelle reference lmao "When keeping it real goes wrong, you lose your job and your hairline looks like that."

I came on here to hear what Parker said and came away with Doug Gottlieb not knowing what racist comments are.

So... Is Blackness talking with slang? Being uneducated? Why must this Black man put on the black-face? What Rob Parker said was none of that. What is Blackness?

Gotta love tv black dude says something about another black dude let's get thoughts from a random black dude on the situation to speak on behalf of a whole race

This man really goes to the barber shop two times a week!! Haha

It's true.... he shouldn't have said it on national television! !

⏩ Ephraim now sits in and regularly contributes to Rob's radio show. 😏 Life goes on and is so beautiful....is it not?

The breakfast club interview Rob Parker had today brought me here....and this video didn't disappoint 😁

This is so funny, I love how Ephraim Salaam tears apart Rob Parker. Rob Parker is such an idiot

Lmao, I love watching this every now and then...Rob deserves every bit of roasting he gets.

This is exactly what Dave meant to exemplify in his skits...A real life "when keeping it real goes wrong"

Ephraim Salaam and Rob actually have worked together since, on Fox News, makes this even funnier LOL!!

"I go to the barbershop twice a week" My guy, you're bald!

Rob Parker is "highly educated". He has a Master's Degree from Columbia 📻

lol I agree with everything he said but!...... " I go to the Barbershop twice a week!"

"I go to the barbershop twice a week". Ok 😏

Anybody else wondering why Ephraim is at the barbershop twice a week? Hey man, I'm bald too...so I just want to know.

We have these discussions everyday, wtf is this bro talking about! Not just us but our women too.

Haaa ....... that hairline/barbershop observation had me dead over here LMAO

NO WAY, NO HOW!!!

I don't disagree with Rob Parker getiing suspended. When you're an employee at an organization such as ESPN you have to choose your words wisely. I do agree with the primace of Rob's point though. Although alot of black root for RGIII, most of them do look at him as a cornball. I'm not saying it's right; I'm just stating the facts. This "is" discussed in countless barbershops.

This is a perfect example of a cornball brother lol

Bravo Mr. Salaam. You do have class.

"When keeping it real goes wrong, you lose your job and your hairline looks like that." Day = Made

Thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't have said this better myself.

People say time heals...Time hasn't healed racism...

Rob Parker: “Players don’t understand the years of school and the hard work we have to go through to get to this position” Also Rob Parker: “do you wish your daughter married a better defense coordinator?”

My first time learning of this. I had to search articles and videos after watching The Breakfast Club. I'm confused how this guy called for Rob to be fired, crowned him, and now makes guest appearances on the Odd Couple. There was no falling out between the two after this? Wow

Ephraim went super defensive he could have just made his point without throwing the other black dude under the bus, what parker said could be seen as slightly racial - the white presenter was being more sympathetic to parker

Very well said brother!!!

Why is Doug Gottlieb defending him on this?? Ephraim, and most of us, find the statements inexcusable.

Very well- spoken.

"I go to the barbershop twice a week."....

A skin bald guy saying he goes to the barber twice a week is hilarious in itself.

When you say something like that you make it clear you realized you were wrong

"False!, stop right there" lmao....

WHY DOES HE GO TO THE BARBER SHOP TWICE A WEEK???

I feel Rob. But we know what kind of cat RG3 is.

I remember Rob Parker making those comments. I don't remember him personally attacking RG3, I thought he was saying how some black people stereotype their others within their own race for being different in positive ways. Some people say Russell Wilson is looked at that way as well. I know what it feels like to go through that and it is hurtful, more so when it comes from people you talked to on a personal level. Only reason I disagree with Ephraim is because he's trying to speak on behalf of others. If conversations like that happen in some barber shops then Ephraim would only know about select few. ESPN questioned the blackness of Tiger Woods because he didn't criticize Donald Trump.

Years later and this is just awkward.

Very well said!!!!!!!!!!

Damn you making some good points

The fact that dude tried to take up for Rob Parker. Smmfh 8 yrs laters and he still on TV.

This man said he goes to the barbershop twice a week with a bald head🤔 h

Right on, Ephraim

I'm glad you stopped the white dude. He was about to sound like a fool

Barber shop twice a week to get your head shaved? lmao

“Some validity”, huh? Smh

lmmmaaoooo I was thinking the same

Well said.

Salaam 2 Parker 0 'obviously he doesn't go to the barber shop, look at what's going on with the hairline' and 'keeping it real goes wrong, you lose your job and your hairline looks like this'. lolololololol

“ I’m in the barbershop twice a week.” Bald

mah man in the left was just honestly preaching the real

Rob Parker did look ungroomed. Main one talkin about Barbershop talk LMFAO!

This literally was when keeping it real goes wrong..

why does another network say comments that happened from a rival network?

He was suspended forever, but they reduced it to a month.

Sadly there are so many black people that think this way that are among us. The worst kind of racism is from your own people. Tribalism is never a reason to cast out another black person.

I honestly think RG3 is simply saying.. HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE DEFINED AS BLACK. He wants to be known as a quarterback. An athlete. A PERSON. No one talks about Tom Brady As a "white" quarterback. He's just a quarterback. And the same for every other white quarterback in the league. And I'm sure that's all griffin meant.

fucking tell him my man! thank you for sticking up for my qb! you are a class act buddy all the way

This was hilarious is he a brother or a cornball brother I’m crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I remember this show with Doug and Allie

This is why we all can't be together

"Some validity to this"... WTF???????

This dude RG3 jus called a blacc man a jigaboo!!! On live tv!!!! I think rob Parker was on to something!!!

PREACH!

Imagine this folks and seeing where we are now. The white guy was ahead of the woke times, he saw what was coming.

I find it hard to believe that he goes to the barbershop twce a week lol

Is he fired?

I agree, No one should be able to tell you that you are not black enough. However, We live in a world where people are going to judge you no matter what. Rob Parker gets paid to give his opinion. That's all he was doing. He never said that he thought RG3 was not black enough. He simply was shedding light on how lots of people feel. I've been in enough black barbershops to know nothing is off limits. I guess Rob just forgot where he was,lol.

You're totally correct.

I understand the concept. I just don't think it's necessary in this case, especially since Doug doesn't work for ESPN anymore.

That "cornball brother" still has a job.

Lashid4u, I couldn't have said this better myself!!! Very well said.

Lol looking back it's crazy how rob was stereotyping the he'll out of RG3 lol....he speaks well so he a cornball but he rocks braids and that's urban 🤣🤣🤣. This nigga was really on one that day

"When keeping it real goes wrong! you Lose your job and end up with a hair line like Rob Parker!" LMAO now that was funny :)

Not to pull away from the good point you made; ESPN didn't actually fire Parker, his contract was up at the end of December 2012 and they opted not to renew it. Some people are pissed b/c ESPN didn't strong arm Parker to resign the way they did with Rush Limbaugh for making racists comments about McNabb.

What is the white guy talking about in this video?

Yes, to keep his head bald duh.

yeah me too! but i wouldn't go as far as to say hate

Again, how is RGIII a sellout?

Why does HE go to the barber shop twice per week?

two times a week ?

I couldn't agree more!!!!

This guy is a cornball 😂

Preach

I know this is irrelevant, but I find it hard to believe that a man with no hair goes to a barbershop twice a week.

I agree with everything you just said!

couldnt he do that at home with a razor? lol

You can get a shave at the shop. Head or face, its also a community spot. Dont always gotta get a cut, trim or shave. Cant believe people dont know this.

What a shame.
