“he said many white people won’t talk about out of fear of being labeled “racist.
Absolutely. Open and honest discussions about race are absolutely taboo under the tyranny of political correctness. It’s more risky than being a global warming denier.
This guy is just as good as Bo Snerdly and black enough to criticize!
The media pivot to Cubban and race issues is intended to capture the attention of the low information voters and get their minds off of the VA scandal.
The VA scandal had the unique ability to capture the attention of even the Black Democrat voters. The VA scandal cannot be interpreted as a partisan issue. Everyone knows a veteran.
Don’t let the left distract you. The sports racial issue is a non-story.
Bump!
This is rare for ESPN. If they were smart, they would give him a raise and a bonus check. White Americans are tired of being pounded on while the media ignores the serious issues inside black “culture”.
It is refreshing when blacks stand up and take responsibility. Cosby tried it but was beaten down and towed back to the plantation. Will this man stay strong? Time will tell.
Screamin’ A has said similar things in the past - it’s just that his next opinion or rant will be so outlandish you wonder what is contrived and what is not.
That said, he’s been very consistent on race issues in the past. Good on him.
Open and honest debate from both sides is what is needed to fix the race relations in this country.
“Uncle Tom”... Yeah, that criticism that the left loves to wield has about as much intellectual heft as some idiot defending his own bigotry by saying “Yeah, well, there are WHITE neeegers, too!”.
Every second of Steven A. Smith’s seven minute monologue is worth watching and hearing. I particularly like his contrast between a sprint and a marathon in life, and his personalization of the American Dream. I respect and admire this man.
If getting good grades in school and speaking proper English is...horror of horros!...acting like (ewwww!) a hated WHITE person...if your music glorifies a thug culture...if you spend your youth expecting to be a rich rapper or sports star someday...if your spend your time practicing basketball or skateboarding instead of at the library...if you hate whites, have a chip on your shoulder, and blame all your problems on “racism”...well, how good an impression are you going to make on an interviewer? Chances are the white guy up for the same job might come off better. Deal with it, and change your ways.
Liberals just can’t accept the difference between prejudice and racism. Like I said yesterday in another post, in the 1980s in New York city I was robbed 3 times by Obama sons, my brother was cut on the neck by an Obama son (but survived) so when I see an Obama son walking toward me late at night, guess what? I am going to be prejudice as hell about him.
Refreshing to know that there are a few decent, honest and intelligent people still around.
Glad to see some push back on this BS.
It is past time that we open an honest dialogue.
The largest bigots and most hate-filled racists in the room will be the individuals with the most preferred victim status, based solely on skin color. .If people want to use skin color as an excuse to wage war on their fellow citizens, then they shouldn’t complain when people of different colors or cultures turn on them.
We call him here Screamin A Smith but he is actually a cool guy..he has appeared on Mark Levin’s radio program a few times..not sure if he votes Republican or not but he is not the type of guy that backs down from his beliefs
Look its not racist if people react to a persona your project ...be it an intentional or unintentionally look
Look I’m a big white guy and truth is I’m scare looking ..I just am...I have a physical hands that adds to it..I joke I look like a mass murder. ..and I do have people react
I just had this a few weeks back..I was to do something work at a business so I was waiting at the door for it to open...
When the morning man (a very gay guy) came to open up..no way was he’s letting me in...he ran in and locked the door behind him....I didn’t blame him..
Now the truth is I could of pulled a guilty trip on him being prejudiced because I’m physical handicap. .but I don’t do that..i think its crappie to do that.
So if your ANY race and your deliberately try to project a thug persona to be cool or to have “street credit” . you have no reason to complain when people react to it.
People are not running from black guys that look like Urkel..
And then do run from white guys that look like extras from the Road Warrior...
Or even just white guys that look like me
