Griffin II said his next steps were to dismiss Parker’s remarks.

“He needs to define what ‘one of us’ is. That guy needs to define that,” he said. “I wouldn’t say it’s racism. I would just say some people put things out there about people so they can stir things up.

“Robert is in really good shape on who he is, where he needs to get to in order to seek the goals he has in life … so I don’t take offense.”

During his weekly news conference Wednesday, Griffin III said he didn’t want to be defined by race.
