Black on black women crime ^
The black community should only claim bi-racials who identify as black. The ideal thing would be for them to create their own community. If Sage Steele is "black" I don't ever want her speaking on the behalf of black people, she has shown who she rides with.

She’s definitely wife material… chucklesSo what Sage is saying is that when she brought her curly, coily, negress hair around that white man it was her fault that he pet her live on air. Poor guy couldn't help himself, she knew what she was doing. She should have worn a hat.

White man's toy.
There's no way that chick thinks of herself as black
That is why I inserted "black" inside of quotation marks in my response to denote sarcasm. My point stands that the black community needs to stop claiming biracials who don't identify with black culture. Everywhere else on Earth mixed people are categorized as their own distinct groups.
This. Especially when they identify as mixed from the jump. But just like all skinfolk aint kinfolk, i need to know if them mixed one lean to the blackhand side, or the other side.
When Stuart Scott died, so did ESPN.
I wonder contract is up. ESPN will probably let her go. She probably has one more warning before she gets benched until her contract expires.
She was also crying when she didn't get the 6pm sportscaster spot and got noon instead like he was being discriminated against for being a conservative

This isn't fair....Mike didn't "know" he was black.......he was told his family history was Italian and he just thought he had a year round tan........even though he's got a big ass nose and black facial features that no one else in his family has........
"HE JUST DIDNT KNOW!"
Elle is cool as shit. I was listening to her today on Bo's show.
She bounced back well from the baby too.
That chick was married since '99....WTF was she doing getting caught begging for lunch/dinner from Jalen on a hot mic?!! Hahaha
He wanted NO parts of that
Is this you Easy?
No trust me if this was me I would have told y’all. Although since you mentioned it he do look like some dudes on my father side of the family I have to show this picture to them and see if he has some kin to me thank you for pointing that out
They got divorced in 2019.
Her husband got tired of her ass too
Covid probably made him go oh hell nah
Exactly. Elle Duncan is cool as fuck and cool matters. So, a fine ass broad only get the five from me. She don't get the full dime, but a 5-8 could get a bonus points for being cool and down to earth as fuck.
ESPN's Sage Steele apologizes for controversial comments about Obama's racial identity and vaccine mandates | CNN
ESPN "SportsCenter" anchor Sage Steele has apologized after making controversial statements during an episode of "Uncut With Jay Cutler."
Rachel Lindsay says Sage Steele was ‘thrilled’ she didn’t pick Black man on ‘Bachelorette’
Former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay has revealed that when she first met ESPN’s Sage Steele, the anchor praised her for not […] The post Rachel Lindsay says Sage Steele was ‘thrilled’ she didn’t pick Black man on ‘Bachelorette’ appeared first on TheGrio.
Sage Steele was ‘thrilled’ she didn’t pick Black man on ‘Bachelorette,’ said Rachel Lindsay
“Since then I’ve started to learn more about how problematic she can be,” said Lindsay of Steele.
Former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay has revealed that when she first met ESPN’s Sage Steele, the anchor praised her for not picking a Black man on the hit ABC dating competition series.
While on the Higher Learning podcast with co-host Van Lathan, Lindsay said the incident occurred four years ago at an event and that the moment left her feeling like she was in the Twilight Zone.
“I like Sage. She’s a woman of color who had a long career in the media and I’m aspiring to this but then I’m listening to you and the first thing you say to me is how thrilled you are that I didn’t choose Black. And I’m like… who is this woman?” Lindsay said on the podcast. “Since then I’ve started to learn more about how problematic she can be,” Lindsay added.
Watch Lindsay recount the moment via the Twitter video below.
Per theGrio, Steele was temporarily removed from ESPN over comments she made on former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler’s podcast, Uncut with Jay Cutler, which included her thoughts about former President Barack Obama and the COVID-19 vaccine.
During a Sept. 29 recording of the podcast, Steele and Cutler discussed several topics, including ideas about race and ethnicity. Steele, who is African-American and Irish/Italian, shared how she designates her race on the U.S. Census report by referencing Obama.
“If they make you choose a race, what are you gonna put? Well, both,” said Steele. “Barack Obama chose Black and he’s biracial…congratulations to the President, that’s his thing. I think that’s fascinating considering his Black dad is nowhere to be found but his white mom and grandma raised him, but okay. You do you. I’m gonna do me. Listen, I’m pretty sure my white mom was there when I was born. And my white family loves me as much as my Black family.”
Steele also expressed her frustration over ESPN’s vaccine mandate, which she called “sick” and “scary.” Ironically, she also tested positive for COVID-19.
ESPN issued a statement on Tuesday, saying that Steele would not return to the network for a week.
“At ESPN, we embrace different points of view — dialogue and discussion makes this place great,” ESPN said in a statement posted to Twitter. “That said, we expect that those points of view be expressed respectfully, in a manner consistent with our values, and in line with our internal policies.”

“I know my recent comments created controversy for the company and I apologize. We are in the midst of an extremely challenging time that impacts all of us, and it’s more critical than ever that we communicate constructively and thoughtfully,” Steele said in a statement.
Lindsay, the first Black bachelorette in the franchise, initially turned down the offer to appear on the show. But she had a change of heart after speaking to someone in her hometown of Dallas, Texas about the importance of representation.
“I started wondering if I was looking at it the wrong way,” Lindsay wrote in an op-ed for New York Magazine published in June. “Yes, it’s a silly reality show. But how many people haven’t seen a positive representation of a Black woman, someone who has the chance to be adored by men of all races, backgrounds, professions?”
“I thought maybe the moment was bigger than me,” she noted.
She also detailed being “exhausted from defending myself against a toxic fandom” surrounding the show, which fueled her decision to depart the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast last month, as reported by PEOPLE.
“The franchise has spent 19 years cultivating a toxic audience. They have constantly given it a product it wants: a Midwestern/Southern white, blonde, light-eyed Christian. Not all viewers are like that,” she wrote in the piece. “My Higher Learning co-host and I have divided it – there is a Bachelor Nation, and there is a Bachelor Klan.”
She later revealed that Bachelorette producers purposely cast Black men who don’t date Black women.

Hill called Steele a “clown” after Steele made references to Obama’s ethnicity.
Sage Steele has been temporarily removed from ESPN for her comments on a podcast, which included her thoughts about former President Barack Obama and the COVID-19 vaccine.

Listen, I’m pretty sure my white mom was there when I was born. And my white family loves me as much as my Black family.”
Black Twitter immediately responded, slamming Steele. One of her most prominent critics was sports journalist Jemele Hill, her former colleague at ESPN. Hill sent out a tweet in sharp reproach of Steele’s comments.
“So on top of thinking former President Obama shouldn’t identify as black because he didn’t have a relationship with his black father, Sage Steele also thinks female journalists who dress a certain way “know what you’re doing when you’re putting that outfit on,” Hill wrote on Twitter. “Clown behavior.”
“It’s worse when you hear it,” Hill also tweeted, with a link to the clip about female journalists.
Cutler also told Steele that she is the “Candace Owens of ESPN.” His comment came after the two talked about the criticisms she has gotten for her anti-vaccine stance.
Steele is one of the more prominent conspiracy theorists regarding the vaccine. She’s upset over ESPN’s vaccine mandate, which she called “sick” and “scary” during the podcast episode.
The network, which is owned by Disney, is one of the companies that are requiring its employees to get the jab. They issued a statement on Tuesday, saying that Steele would not return to the network for a week, foregoing her noon spot on SportsCenter, and has been removed as the host of the 2021 espnW: Women + Sports Summit, taking place Oct. 18-20, perTheHill.Ironically, given her stance on the vaccine, per The Wrap, Steele has also tested positive for COVID-19.
“At ESPN, we embrace different points of view — dialogue and discussion makes this place great,” ESPN said in a statement posted to Twitter. “That said, we expect that those points of view be expressed respectfully, in a manner consistent with our values, and in line with our internal policies.”
Steele apologized for the comments saying, “I know my recent comments created controversy for the company and I apologize. We are in the midst of an extremely challenging time that impacts all of us, and its more critical than ever that we communicate constructively and thoughtfully.”

During the podcast, Steele directly referenced her position at ESPN and its parent company, Disney, as the impetus for her finally getting the vaccine.
“I work for a company that mandates it and I had until Sept. 30 to get it done or I’m out,” Steele told Cutler. Steele has been with ESPN since 2007. “I respect everyone’s decision, I really do, but to mandate it is sick and it’s scary to me in many ways,” she said. “I just, I’m not surprised it got to this point, especially with Disney, I mean a global company like that.”
This is just the latest in a series of embarrassing incidents involving African-American anchors – or as Steele defines herself as biracial – with anchors of color. Maria Taylor recently left ESPN for NBC after it was revealed that her colleague, Rachel Nichols, had made disparaging remarks about her qualifications for a promotion.
Nichols, who reportedly has a year left on her ESPN contract, was the host of The Jump, which has now been reworked into a new show, NBA Today, starring ESPN host Malika Andrews. Andrews will essentially replace Nichols on the network’s NBA coverage. Neither ESPN nor Nichols have made any further announcements about her future.
