Donovan McNabb is right — black QBs do face more criticism. The surprise, says Jason Whitlock, is where it's coming from. McNabb simply stated the obvious in the most inoffensive way possible. McNabb's comments were not angry, defiant or whiny. I believe McNabb, more than any black quarterback who has played the game, understands all of the obstacles facing a black "franchise" quarterback. You see, many of the roadblocks standing before a black QB are placed there by other African-Americans. Stick with me, let me explain. There is no doubt that racism has been a factor in the level and the intensity of criticism thrown at McNabb since the day the Eagles drafted him. Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and head coach Andy Reid have failed to properly support McNabb. The one year they provided McNabb with a legitimate No. 1 receiver (Terrell Owens), he threw 31 TDs and just nine interceptions and led the Eagles to within a field goal of winning Super Bowl XXXIX
