I'm returning from a self-imposed hiatus because I saw this just now on Twitter and after reading it I knew there would be a Coli thread on it.

#1 She should have never gone at Mike Evans. She was wrong and shouldn't have done it. #2 She is more out-of-touch than I thought she was. #3 This is a masterful display of getting triggered and c00ning it up for massa. #4 She exposed herself and will be dragged by black twitter. #5 She lost it. The innocent Sage Steele is no more.

The word "diversity" is fascinating. These days, I call it “the D word”. Why? Because everyone likes to say it. At work, at home, at the podium, at colleges and universities. Diversity. EMBRACE DIVERSITY! Fortunately, millions of Americans of all races, religions and cultures do just that. But, how many of us actually mean it? Specifically, how many people of color actually mean it? Or is it simply a socially acceptable, politically correct term that just sounds good, and feels good to say, or to demand? Unfortunately for way too many African-Americans and people of color, I believe it’s the latter. I’ve actually believed this for years and have spoken publicly about it a few times recently, contemplating when the best time would be to fully “go there”.

We -- as people of color -- continue to cry for racial equality, diversity and acceptance, and rightfully so. That said, why must we continue to tear down those within our own race?

Why must we shun those within our own race who think differently? Or marry outside of our race? Or vote differently? Or have “good hair”? Or speak differently? Shouldn’t we instead be offering up praise for our wonderful diversity?

So, instead of rolling your eyes at my black father for “selling out", shouldn’t you be praising my white mother for following her color-blind heart and not succumbing to the pressures of American society back then? Apparently not. How about now, more than 4 decades later? Instead of giving me those all-knowing looks of disgust and calling me a sell-out when you see pictures of me with my white husband, or see me with my very light-skinned bi-racial children, shouldn’t you be praising that “white boy” from Indiana who followed his color-blind heart and married into a bi-racial culture completely different from his own, to help create a beautiful, color-blind family? Apparently not. Sadly, the list goes on and on, seeping into just about every social and political issue.

Instead of praising or uplifting each other, way too many people of color choose to tear down, mock and spew hatred at other blacks who feel differently, think differently, or make decisions that are different from theirs. That, my friends, is hypocrisy at its best. Or should I say, its hypocrisy at its worst.

So when you call me a sell-out, or a c00n, or an Uncle Tom, or any other derogatory term.

But the fact that so many of us actually have to fight back against other within our own race, is incomprehensible and frankly, it’s pathetic. So go ahead. Keep on keepin-on with that double-standard. That hypocrisy. Just know that every time you do, its sets us back even further, and I refuse to be a part of it.

Instead, isn’t it time to look ourselves in the mirror and be accountable for our own actions, and not just point the finger at others?

She's speaking the truth, and I can see how the coli disagrees with

How is she speaking the truth saying black people are the most unaccepting of diversity?

When it comes to the vast majority of black Americans, it does not matter what other race you are mixed, if your half black your seen as black.

No other race will see a half black person as one of their own.

There is no race more accepting than black Americans.

The problem is everyone else hates us.

I haven't read Sage Steele's facebook post titled "Diversity" or this thread yet, but based on some of these tweets on my Twitter timeline she embarrassed herself something serious. c00ns like Stephen A. Smith & Jason Whitlock have never c00ned this hard on ESPN & Fox Sports.

Props to Miko for exposing this ho. She lost whatever little credibility she had with that rant. Stacey Dash 2.0
