Who does he speak for? And when?

Does Larry Elder speak for the black collective? What about Jesse Lee Peterson?

If you feel he speaks for you and yours, that’s fine. But I don’t know a single black person who looks at him as a thought leader or spokesperson. Don’t mistake the platform for impact.

Clearly you forget the 2010s and his Ferguson protesters are dirt commentary along with tearing down Black families and athletes jabs of that era.

Once again, I need to post Walt’s article because “he did first take at an HBCU” is enough to nourish fools.



In truth, Smith’s main, flimsy credential to wax pseudo-philosophical on how blacks should feel is that he has dark skin. He’s not a clarion voice of any community; rather, he’s a low-rent provocateur. He doesn’t have a Ph.D. in sociology or African-American Studies; he wasn’t a social columnist with years of attending pertinent conferences under his belt; he hasn’t been analyzing data or studying the most current and thorough articles and books on these subjects. He has no bonafides, but he’s allowed to — encouraged to — discuss race and society because he tends to say things that reinforce popular, base notions of black people in general, and black athletes specifically.
No other group has to deal with condescending, contrived spokespeople like this. Can you imagine a cartoonish WASP constantly penning pieces with sloppy historical takes and blanket indictments of “white culture” along these lines:



He also put cam on

Got boozer on the other day



Stephen is a old black man

If you don’t got one in your family you don’t understand



Having espn first take on hbcu is powerful stuff


During the NFL season too

Having cam newton on the show

Big business

Breh most them dudes you're talking about are small compared to 6'11 243lb Giannis and would either get ran over like everyone else or blown by on the perimeter since they never seen someone that size with Giannis's handle.:manny:

He fully understands, but because he’s talking about Lebron he’s going to act like he doesn’t.

If he’s going to hold that standard, then apply to Lebron. The same Lebron who didn’t know anything about Tamir Rice and the same LeBron who didn’t want to protest for George Floyd :yeshrug:

Stephen A is an opportunist and the product of respectability politics

Doesnt change shyt about him tearing down the Black community when no one asked for him to speak for us.

He CLEARLY did that regularly and to say otherwise is garbage.

Lebron has never had for the Black community commentary for audiences.

SAS CLEARLY has that history and to deny it? :childplease:
I’m not denying it; my history of dislike for him is well documented on here. Especially during the Kyrie debacle.

It doesn’t mean he’s wrong about LeBron and his ambivalence (at best) or animus (at worst) towards black journalists and media

None of these dudes were "small". Just admit you have 0 knowledge of NBA history just like Lebron, and stop embarrassing yourself in this thread

The same SAS who had

“Black athletes need to _____”
“Will Smith owes the Black community an apology (just last year).” :mjlol:

Tearing down Ferguson protestors

Tearing down Colin Kaepernick

While NEVER calling out the white collective.

You guys have short memories. He cut his teeth using us
