Sports Biz: Stephen A. Smith back at ESPN UPDATE: becomes ESPN highest-paid sportscaster

[Complex]

When he was doing his buck dancing for Hannity & co. on Faux, he said that even his mom called him a sellout, along with the rest of his family, because they didn't understand that a black man can "think for himself". He said this is an interview years ago.

Figures he turned it around to act like he was doing some sort of good

[D Kline]

I understand how he can come to that conclusion.

 

[Mr. Bizkits]

I understand how he can come to that conclusion.

D Kline, I wasn't sure if you were white at first, but now I'm sure you're a CAC.

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

That 'All Lives Matter' bullshit I totally disagree with, but I've always felt, how can we expect other races to respect our 'lives' if we don't respect them ourselves

Black lives matter was simply a reaction to cops not going to jail for killing Black people...why aren't cops going to jail? Don't Black lives matter?...why are people purposely misinterpreting this phrase?

we DO respect each other's lives...dont let the media convince you that because crime exists in the Black community it somehow translates into us hating one another.

drug crime is carefully constructed social engineered TERRORISM.

white men are killing THEMSELVES at epidemic rates, but no one is talking about THEM not respecting themselves.

While that is true, I guess some people have added their next layer of interpretation, to use your post, why are a lot of our own people killing each other... Don't black lives matter

No one is convincing me of anything big fella, I work as a mentor and a community activist and I see it more than I would like to. To purposely kill someone is hate Dude. No matter what the reason outside of self defense, to take someones life is a hate filled act...

I really don't care about white man killing themselves or what THEY are being told to do, my only concern s my own people, and I really refuse to govern myself after what other races do or don't do to their own...

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith Just Said This About 'Black Lives Matter',
<s>Liberals</s> Reality Based Individuals are FURIOUS

Walt Disney pays Stephen A. Smith $3,000,000 a year to be a non-threatening 'colored' coon. Nothing he says has any relevance in the reality-based world. He said Trayvon Martin was murdered because he was wearing a "hoddie", which he said frightens white people; yes, he really said that

Smith will never utter these two words (white supremacy) or these two words (white privilege) or these two words (institutional racism). Smith performs soft-shoe for his bosses whenever they demand it.

The obvious reality that police DON'T commit State sanctioned murder on unarmed white young men, not-surprisingly eludes willfully befuddled Black man Stephen A. Smith.

Wow

 

[Spectrum]

There is an implicit TOO at the end of the phrase. It really means "black lives matter too".

And it doesnt even fucking matter if it does or doesnt. No other race or group are faced with a reality where a status quo exists that such a slogan is warranted and needed to serve as a reminder...or more accurately as a informative communication and cry for fucking justice.


This guy is a disgrace.

[ballscout1]

While that is true, I guess some people have added their next layer of interpretation, to use your post, why are a lot of our own people killing each other... Don't black lives matter

The statement Black Lives Matter is in response to those in authority kill Black people and are not held accountable as if the life taken is disposable and doesn't matter.That there is evidence sometimes video and it still doesn't matter

You can't compare the killings done due to run of the mill crime when Black people kill other Black people while committing those crimes because when they are caught they are arrested ,tried,convicted and sentenced.

As for where is the uproar ,if Smith took his ass into those communities instead of spending all his time up the white folks asses he would see that there is uproar, protests, neighborhood watches, tributes and groups working to stop violence.

Being that he works in the so called media world he should know that just because it isn't reported or shown doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That the media is complicit in creating and promoting a narrative.

The reality is this... Blacks only kick this black lives matter rhetoric when a cac is responsible for a Black Death. Meanwhile, the other 95% of the time when its blacks merking blacks over Jordan's and iPhones, not one of you niggas are crying about how black lives matter. Steven a smith is right.. You can't expect bum project niggas like you people to understand your own hyprocracy.

Where was the black lives matter in Chicago a few weeks ago when like 20 niggas died in one week?

 

[ric flair]

So how would you fix it..."black on black crime expert"....while you tryimg to bullshit your way out of that question ,,,, read this....slowly

It's simple dudes like you that are the biggest problem. You're sitting at home not doing shit so then you'll say "What are people doing about Black on Blsck" crime. If your dumb ass got up and participated you'd actually see it.

You know the things the news doesn't cover cause it's not sensational.

One more thing coon. You been brainwashed by the media. You busy talking about Chicago but it has it's lowest murder rate since the 1960's

It's some cooning afoot here also

 

[Mt Airy Groove]

Black lives only matter if its taken by a white person. If a life is taken by one of our own, we blame it on white supremacy.

 

[Spectrum]

And it doesnt even fucking matter if it does or doesnt. No other race or group are faced with a reality where a status quo exists that such a slogan is warranted and needed to serve as a reminder...or more accurately as a informative communication and cry for fucking justice.


This guy is a disgrace.

Yeah. It's crazy, but to say that you don't need a phrase "black lives matter TOO" is pretty much saying to ignore the problem. Anyone with a real brain and empathy knows the phase means black lives matter too and not that black lives are the only ones that matter. And a black person should get that immediately when they see this phrase. Steven A aint shit.

To say we don't need the phrase is to say that we're treated fairly by the system so there is no need to evaluate it.

This "ALL lives matters" is bullshit. Here's why! When something happens in the news or your community specifically, in that instance, ONLY that life matters. If priests molest a little boy name Ethan, at Holy Saint of No Saints Church in Minnesota on Tuesday the 14th, ONLY that boy's story matters at THAT point. SO… when a black child is shot dead in the street and THAT story is on the news, THAT life, in THIS instance, is ALL that matters. You would never stand over a dead body and say "All lives matter" because you're only dealing with THIS child. Trayvon, Mike Brown, Eric Garner all had different situations happen to them and at THAT period, that moment, only THAT life matters. Shit, tell your wife that "ALL wives matter" as she's going through something. Tell your child that gets bullied at school that other kids are getting bullied too! Do that shit, and see how stupid you sound and will eventually feel. I'll slap the shit out any of person that says "All lives matter" when I'm grieving over the loss of one.

Don't, in the media, when there is a plane crash, the news says "A passenger plane just went down in the ocean with 200 onboard, but there were NO Americans onboard?" Haven't you heard that shit and felt the news was saying , "Whew, glad none of US was on that plane!" Same shit when a black man is killed by the police and white people say "It's not like whites don't get killed by the police" AS you are looking at Michael Browns body laying on the ground, you're telling me that this is the time to insert the word "ALL" into the dialogue and not take a beatdown?

 

[King Natty]

I see the smart dumb nigga brigade showing up for this thread

 

[Mr. Bizkits]

These threads are exposing all the coons and white people on this board

 

[Rudey]

Every time a white person kills a black person it turns into black ppl blaming other black ppl.

This was posted elsewhere:

Imagine that you're sitting down to dinner with your family, and while everyone else gets a serving of the meal, you don't get any. So you say "I should get my fair share." And as a direct response to this, your dad corrects you, saying, "everyone should get their fair share." Now, that's a wonderful sentiment -- indeed, everyone should, and that was kinda your point in the first place: that you should be a part of everyone, and you should get your fair share also. However, dad's smart-ass comment just dismissed you and didn't solve the problem that you still haven't gotten any!

The problem is that the statement "I should get my fair share" had an implicit "too" at the end: "I should get my fair share, too, just like everyone else." But your dad's response treated your statement as though you meant "only I should get my fair share", which clearly was not your intention. As a result, his statement that "everyone should get their fair share," while true, only served to ignore the problem you were trying to point out.
That's the situation of the "black lives matter" movement. Culture, laws, the arts, religion, and everyone else repeatedly suggest that all lives should matter. Clearly, that message already abounds in our society.

The problem is that, in practice, the world doesn't work the way. You see the film Nightcrawler? You know the part where Renee Russo tells Jake Gyllenhal that she doesn't want footage of a black or latino person dying, she wants news stories about affluent white people being killed? That's not made up out of whole cloth -- there is a news bias toward stories that the majority of the audience (who are white) can identify with. So when a young black man gets killed (prior to the recent police shootings), it's generally not considered "news", while a middle-aged white woman being killed is treated as news. And to a large degree, that is accurate -- young black men are killed in significantly disproportionate numbers, which is why we don't treat it as anything new. But the result is that, societally, we don't pay as much attention to certain people's deaths as we do to others. So, currently, we don't treat all lives as though they matter equally.
Just like asking dad for your fair share, the phrase "black lives matter" also has an implicit "too" at the end: it's saying that black lives should also matter. But responding to this by saying "all lives matter" is willfully going back to ignoring the problem. It's a way of dismissing the statement by falsely suggesting that it means "only black lives matter," when that is obviously not the case. And so saying "all lives matter" as a direct response to "black lives matter" is essentially saying that we should just go back to ignoring the problem.

TL;DR: The phrase "Black lives matter" carries an implicit "too" at the end; it's saying that black lives should also matter. Saying "all lives matter" is dismissing the very problems that the phrase is trying to draw attention to.

Again, I'm not caping for or validating white people killing us. That shit burns my soul and has to be dealt with. However when I see a black person kill another black person, and then that black person goes to jail it burns my souls more because that is now too black lives lost. You can't 'excuse' away that crime because both people involved are black?! How is a murder of our own people run of the mill? So THAT death means less in the grand scheme of things? How can we have a United front against white supremacy if we ignore or make secondary the issue of eroding our own race
