I do not use the word "c00n"
I repeat, I do not
I can deal with "nikka," because, whether ppl like it or not, they're is a pleasant vibe to it, between some ppl (I just don't like it, in public)
But, I'm not gonna grab a word racist used on us, and use it the EXACT way on another black man
But, SAS is atleast a "co"
I'll just have find another word to fill the rest out
Dude continues to (you have it rite on the head) pander to ppl share that same bigoted, racist idea.
Again, ain't no way SAS still has a job if Biff Stevenworth knocked Jessica Stevenworth and had her laid out, on camera and he blessed us with his message to "female restraint."
That's the main thing that's driving me mad.
And don't get me started on how brash he is, on TV, but, never takes ownership of his stances anywhere else.
I'm waiting for him to just up and say "It's just entertainment"
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.
