    Bernard Hopkins Calls Donovan McNabb A House Negro
    Hopkins has been taking shots at McNabb for years. Why is that?

    Philly.comJUST 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. “Why do you think McNabb felt he was betrayed? Because McNabb is the guy in the house, while everybody else is on the field.

    He’s the one who got the extra coat. The extra servings. ‘You’re our boy,’ ” Hopkins said, patting a reporter on the back in illustration. “He thought he was one of them.”

    Replace “guy in the house” with “slave in the house,” then replace “on the field” with “in the field,” and Hopkins’ message is Uncle Tom-clear.

    McNabb’s publicist, Rich Burg, said McNabb would have no comment. Hopkins yesterday invited the press to watch him train at Joe Hand’s North Philadelphia gym and to answer questions pertaining to his rematch May 21 against Jean Pascal in Montreal for the WBC and The Ring magazine light heavyweight championship, which will be televised on HBO.

    B-Hop is from Philly and he's probably a big Eagles fan. He probably never liked McNabb as a player or an individual....McNabb does come across as both a fake and somewhat of an Uncle Tom. As an Eagle fan I'm sure Bernard never liked how McNabb would be down 20 points and the camera would pan to him on the sideline laughing and joking like it didnt matter to him. Shit, I dont like McNabb for these same reasons...guy seems like a phony to me

                McNabb is a hard guy to like as is Hopkins.
                Bernard is trying to raise interest in his upcomimg fight.
                They both have big mouths and pull the
                race card from the bottom of the deck.

                              ^^^ B-Hop is Jealous of Mcnabbs upbringing simple as that im black grew up in a middle upper class neighborhood i've heard the same bullshit from Blacks from the hood. Being poor, living in a dangerous enviornment doesnt make you any " Blacker" then somebody who grew up in A suburb. B-Hop dissed MMA as well i was a big fan hes made me money gambling as well but im really starting to dislike this jailbird .., by the way i know he thinks hes sharp but hes just a common Thug since before was a teen he just happened to find boxing he should really keep his mouth shut.

                                    An Uncle Tom ?How so Hes raising what seems to be a wholesome Black Family lives in upper class suburb is college educated. Hes a Huxtable looks like he damn near has a perfect life. A positive Black role model imo. And what do you know about mcnabbs real life besides what you see on tv and read in newspapers? All these players lives are private for the most part not easy to judge who is phony or not, they let you see what they want you to see.

                                      Last time I heard a Hopkins interview on the radio, he called most black pro athletes Uncle Toms. Nothing new from him.
