MOBILE, AL — On Monday, ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith spoke at the University of South Alabama about “The Legacy, History and Impact of the African-American Athlete” in honor of Black History Month.
Smith addressed the younger black generation in the crowd of a mixture of children, college students and adults, and told them that racism exists, but just not for them. He reasoned that black people today are not facing what black people endured in the past, when they were lynched or denied rights, so younger black folks today are not allowed to use racism “as an excuse.”

Whoa. Mind officially blown.
Ooooooh SNAP.
Oh the Humanity! What will Hillary and BLM do now?
That’s pretty much what Chris Rock said at the Oscars.
BURN THE HERETIC
OOOOOH! He’s gonna pay for that!
Blacks’ biggest problems are black on black crime, out of wedlock births, and reliance on the government.
“Blacks’ biggest problems are black on black crime, out of wedlock births, and reliance on the government.”
Smith has said this before.
Nice.
I hate that my white kids are growing up feeling they aren’t “correct” because they were born evil white. It’s not good if anyone’s children are told they aren’t good enough. Black American children haven’t been told they weren’t good enough to do XYZ in about 50 years. Why should any child grow up like that?
If we are honest we will see more abject racism from blacks to whites than the other way around. There is no way the jokes told on mainstream comedy shows could be told switching the races around. The teller would face the death penalty. Is racism bad? Or is it only bad against blacks?

Absolutely.
I agree with the do-gooders who keep complaining that the U.S. is a racist country .
It is,but it’s the blacks that are racist.
.
Add to that a ghetto culture where “acting black” is more important than academic achievement.
I've often wondered what people in the past who actually dealt with real racism (Jim Crow, forced segregation, and so on) think of the imagined racism of today.
Tough to compare, for instance, people who were violently denied the right to vote, with people who claim that they couldn't cast a ballot because were traumatized by seeing a police officer somewhere along the way to the polling place.
Or, in the case of my state, who just instituted Voter ID ... people who claim that they can't cast a ballot "Because getting a legitimate ID is hard".
An heaven help you if you aren't deemed "black enough". Words that have been uttered on ESPN on national television.
Of course it does; ignoring it does not make it invisible.
The racism is palpable in their BLM indoctrination/whitewash...
Racism is way too convenient as an excuse, it won’t go away.
I was forced to say the obvious late last night on the thread about the manufactured Fox Blonde-bimbo "KKK" brouhaha...
I have seen more death and mindless violence from the BLM movement in the last three months, than from the KKK in the last 30 years...
Yet, what do the clueless still want to talk about?
I had no idea the Bureau of Land Management was that crazy except in Oregon.
Steven Smith will be there for the Republicans. Any increase in the black vote will be due to folks like him. Can Trump win him over? I’m sure Cruz can.
