Stephen A. Smith catching hell on twitter right now from his own Colleague at ESPN

I agree, but lets remember Steven A. struck a fairly aggressive pro black tone a decade ago, and because of that white folks found him offensive and he was subsequently run out of ESPN on a rail. During his time in exile he was "rehabilitated", and taught how to tailor his views that align with the conservative whims of white america.

Whether these are now his true views or not, its clear he's hit a sweet spot with white viewers who now found him more tolerable than ever before, and the show is now a cash cow for ESPN. I dont watch the show (only watch clips here and there), but from what ive seen Skip will strike the more progressive left wing tone on debates,and Im sure thats by design. An outspoken black man who is sympathetic to social justice just doesnt fly in today's America, especially in the age of Obama where white folks are mad uptight with him in charge.Whites will at least not revolt if the white guy is the left-leaning one (i remember that skip was more outraged at donald sterling than steven a was --- the latter kept harping on the NAACP).

Its tough for blacks to eat out here and keep our pride 100% in tact...not that im trying to let steven a off the hook because im terribly disappointed in him. Im desperately trying to understand his views.

Yup. Back in the days, Skip played more of the role of the angry white Christian male curmudgeon who is pissed off about flashy young black athletes, and he would often play the foil to Rob Parker whenever he brought race into a discussion.

Now that SAS is there to be the "pull your pants up and act like you've been there before" black America's uncle Herman Cain guy, Skip often plays the more progressive side.

All this shyt is scripted. I will admit I watch that show too much. It's junk food entertainment, but I still watch it.

However, SAS has made it increasingly unbearable. He talks way too much, he gets way too mad, and he's feeling himself way too much. Now he acts like he's some kind of sociologist with the average mainstream rapper's sensitivity to criticism. fukk outta here.

The difference between him and Skip is that Skip knows he's a He doesn't admit it, but he lets you know in subtle ways. SAS actually thinks he's a formidable intellect qualified to speak on important macro issues in the world.

One of the comments from the Violence video...by a woman...

This is horrible.. Of course men can get raped and beaten, the report rate is just waaayyy lower than for women. Where I live, a recent study showed that men and women are victims of domestic violence just as often. Only difference is that women often get more seriously hit, like punches, while men get mental abuse and bytch slaps and pushes. Defending yourself from being hurt by a partner has more to do with mental strength than physical strength, so it's definitely not easier for a man to defend himself


well said.

I got locked up when attacked by my crazy ex, doing so with my 6 month old son in her hands. I grabbed him and shocked the shyt outta her then ran out the house only to have the cops knocking on my door a week later.

She was a lawyer at the very same court I was booked at. good thing I kept a flash drive of all of the crazy emails she sent to my office email. When I was ready to bring that shyt up in court she did an about face and got all the charges dropped because she didn't want me to embarrass her in front of her colleagues.



shyt can happen bro.

damn yo....That shyt is crazy...

And you still gotta have relations in some way with her...

The fact you are equatin kicking a mindless beast with aggressive tendencies to spitting on a nikka is racist on the low, so I can't tell if you're an undercover CAC or an ignorant nikka.

The problem with this mindset is that there is only a 100% of the blame to go around. How much blame do you put on a person kicking a mindless beast with aggressive tendencies that outweighs you by a few hundred pounds? The answer should be a hundred. Now how much of the blame do you put on a female that spits on a guy when she gets attacked? I say she deserves about 5% of the blame for dating a dumbass nikka that would resort to violence over something so meaningless as being spit on. I woulda walked out of that elevator, dumped that bytch, and probably tried to fukk something else in AC.

Quick lil story about this nikka though: In 07 my freshmen year, i go to my mans house party whos from ptown, there with his brother and a bunch of hood ass paterson nikkas who looked like they wre dust smoking armed robbery ass nikkas, and theres a huge confrontation in the living room because a bytch accused one of the football players of doing some shyt like groping her. so dudes are standing around on some 7 vs 7 shyt, and i kid you not ray rice starts a fukkin royal rumble in my mans house on delafield st by pushing this bytch back like 20 feet and then falling back while the florida goons on the team were fighting a horde of nikkas as they ran out the crib

No you equated spitting on "a nikka" to kicking a mindless beast.

what i said is people don't do stuff they know they can't get away with and i gave the bear example as something someone with common sense won't do because the consequences are clear and they know they won't get away with it. the example had almost nothing to do with the bear itself but the person taking an action the bear itself is inconsequential.

then you like all the others go on to enable that woman't childish behavior of spitting on him. i bet as a man if i spit on another man and he flys off the handle and knocks me out suddenly that enabling vanishes and i fukked up and got what i deserve.

if it isn't clear to you there are people out there that know this game and engage in this sort of behavior because they know they supposedly can't be retaliated against. it would be like you're a parent and you have two kids where one kid spits on the other kid and the kid that got spit on retaliated by hitting them. if you as a parent step in and only punish the hitter then you enforce a message to the kid that spit on the other one that they're above consequences to their own behavior.

women don't want real equality they want selective benefits depending on the situation. all the good and none of the bad. when the results are to their advantage they want to be equals and when the results are less than favorable they want to be somehow inferior and fall back on that for protection.

as a human being i know better than to spit on anyone. at the very least if i do that i know what to possibly expect because of it. some people are saints and some are sinners. as a general rule of thumb it isn't wise to do knowingly disrespectful things to people and not acknowledge that your act could contribute to results you might not like. when i say as a human being i mean ignoring sex entirely.

Well maybe there demands and stupid grievances should be ignored since they wanna act like rich little daddies girls. Im not taking anyone serious with that childish mindset

I'm unclear, whose behavior you think is worse, the hitter or the spitter? It seems like you're caping for a person committing assault. if you don't have the self control to not assault people for making harmless gestures than you deserve to be locked up.

 

[The_Sheff]

Why is anyone still taking this Beadle buffoon seriously after she equated the provocation of spitting on and repeatedly punching someone in the face to simply wearing a mini skirt? That's one of the most laughable arguments I've seen in a long time and nobody is calling her out on it.

Her bringing rape into the argument when it clearly wasn't applicable escalated this situation to levels that aren't warranted.

Don't leave out that she also started punching him in the face after she spit on him. Is punching someone in the face a harmless gesture? Is that not assault?

Lol at spitting in someone's face being a harmless gesture. That's one of the most vile things you can do to someone.

I have no idea what happened in this case, but I was talking to dude about the spitting. If she punched him in the face, then her level of responsibility and culpability in the situation goes way up, and I don't think what Ray Rice did should be a felony.

i'm saying that the same society that chastises him for hitting on her should chastise her for spitting on him. instead people act like his wrong overwrote her's. i'm saying that when two people are both in the wrong things like worse don't negate the other wrong.

These dudes kill me acting like you can't get arrested for battery for spitting on someone. Cats on here are ignorant to the law in general, yet steady stay talkin' out their asses.
