The nikka is Black himself, is he not allowed to speak ill of the same community he was raised in/around? Are we as a people not allowed to be critical of our own without being a "c00n" or "uncle tom?"

Speaking to a mostly white audience is the road to our solutions?
Man please. It's a road to filling his pockets. Cats like you really give props to those speak on black problems through talk show clowns as if those of us who question them feel scared of his "criticisms."
If one is really read on the socioeconomics tied to current black problems, you'd find Stephen A Smith topical insights as lazy

Steppin A. Fetch is the LeBron of c00ning - some people work on their c00n game day in and day out, but only a select few are blessed with natural, otherworldly c00n court vision. He sees the c00n angles before they even appear.
yall need to quit wit that c00n shyt real talk
who the fukk says that shyt nowadays?
I don't remember who popularized that shyt on SOHH, but I can tell you that I and a bunch of my homies been using the term "tomc00nery" instead of tomfoolery for a decade, and every single one of us is black and grew up in the inner city. Some nikkas be c00nin' and that's just how it is.

whats Don Batty Boi?
Lemon's game needs a lot of polishing (pause). Homie has a decent set shot, but he be driving to the hole in slo mo (pause). His moves are telegraphed. He's a prep league all conference second teamer at best.

I still haven't heard a precise definition of c00n on here. The usage of the word is similar to uncle tom to me. I guess c00nin is appeasing white people?

I'm not giving props nor saying you're "scared" of his criticisms, you're just assuming and reading too much into his words and mine, instead of taking it at face value.
Its his job to speak about sports, his pockets are filled through monthly checks courtesy of ESPN, after the sports talks he's inclined to speak on whatever it is he wishes, especially since he has a platform to do it.
Its one of the biggest platforms to speak on any societal issue, why not utilize it? So, because his audience is predominately white (so you say
) he's not allowed to speak on Black issues? As if the white community is somehow shielded from the knowledge of what we go through as a people day in and day out.

I think Reb has an issue with notable blacks using their status to pulpit on his community in front of the public when other races don't do that shyt(maybe not that extent).I'm not giving props nor saying you're "scared" of his criticisms, you're just assuming and reading too much into his words and mine, instead of taking it at face value.

Steppin A. Fetch damn sure wasn't raised in my community. I don't fukk with the notion of "the black community" anyway. It's an intellectually dishonest term that serves to spark broad, shallow, offensive generalizations. Blacks as individuals take offense to white people discussing "the black community" as a monolith, so why the fukk are we fine when a black person commits the same insidious faux pas?
I'm an 80s New York nikka; take it a step narrower - I'm a Harlem nikka; take it another step narrower - my family is half-West Indian black; another step narrower - we were raised in our own particular circumstances, with our own particular values. There were other blacks in my buildings who had completely different everything from us, from background to culture to values to rituals. Steppin A. Fetch ain't speaking on shyt, he's just recycling the same old tropes to be "provocative" and generate buzz and money.
But let's take it further than that. You ever seen a dude on Sports Center discuss climate? European History? Quantum Physics? 1950s Literature? Of course not - they have no background in those subjects, they have no expertise to offer. But people are willing to cheapen subjects as complex and important as race, sociology, and ethics by reasoning that because that roach-cricket looking c00nin' O'Brien ass lame fukk has dark skin he should be waxing pseudo-philosophical on all of those issues? You ever see sports personalities confidently venture into realms of politics, race, society, etc, unless it's to denigrate blacks? It's quite rare - even a fireable offense in most cases.
Steppin A. Smith is not remotely qualified to discuss "black issues." He's just some nikka with a sad hairline and a stereotypically jive ass, loud minstrel voice. He doesn't have a PhD in sociology or Afam Studies; he wasn't a social columnist with years of attending pertinent conferences under his belt, analyzing data, studying the most current and thorough articles and books on these subjects. He has no bonafides, no qualifications to discuss race and society, but he's allowed to - shyt, encouraged to - because he tends to say things thaat reinforce popular, foul notions of black people in general, and black athletes specifically.
shyt, he's barely qualified to discuss sports. Keep it funky - he rode the bench at a shytty ass basketball school, was a hack columnist who got fired from his paper for placing his pursuit of personal celebrity over quality writing and reporting, a media who went begging for a job at Fox, promising to be a token black conservative attack dog, and now he's Skip Bayless' stooge. Dude's basketball analysis is just eh, and his knowledge of other sports is fukking comically lacking.
Why exactly is it that as a black man you expect me to think so little of myself, my family, my friends, the history of blacks in America, and the issues of race and society, that I wouldn't call out nikkas who c00n for personal gain?
Steppin A. Fetch can get fukked in the ass with a horse's cock for all I care. He's a fukking Grade A c00n.
I want to add that the reason I never gave half a fukk about the Million Man March is the same reason Steppin' A. gets on my nerves. Given the history of this country, I have no patience at all for all this bullshyt about atonement and accountability and "we have to do better." Black people in America been working against a stacked deck since forever, but we always being asked to apologize, own up, and do better. That shyt is the okey doke. No one else is called on to do that shyt as a group, and after a while it wears thin.

good or bad, if it wasn't spoke on it would never be talked about (we all know who runs the media). Yes, there are some Black men who rigorously go out of their way to shyt on their own kind, they're more deserving of the "c00n" title than Stephen A. Just my opinion though, since I've heard him on both sides of the fence
