I'm half and half. Part of me feels bad for him getting his words twisted up by Beadle and damn near nobody came to help him, not even his so-called, "Brotha from another Mother" Skip, but then I remember what he said about Trayvon Martin and the Black community, then the Mark Cuban shyt, then I'm like, "You dug your own hole breh, now get out of it on your own :manny:". It's sad, but he put himself in that spot, especially when he talks about how real they keep it on FT, then this happens and we see how real he really is.

This is the reason why I feel so bad for him. No one is coming defend him becuz of the hole he's dug himself with the black community.

We're so forgiving of the atrocities of others against us but we're so hard on our own that it's sad.

I don't agree with much of this brother's opinion but he shouldn't be suspended over this shyt.

1 week of unjust suspension vs 51 weeks of unjust career. I can't think of many reasons to feel bad for him :manny:

I agree as well he shouldn't of gotten suspended for this as well, especially with the crazy, insensitive shyt he's said before. It's hard for me to frame it, but it seems like he thinks he's "enlightened" when it comes to race and that if Black people conform and acts docile, that everybody else will be more accepting of us. Which is straight up bullshyt to me, why should we as a race have to conform to everybody else, when everybody else, especially white people try to take things that we've done and make it seem like they were the ones that created it or it's bad if we do it, but if they do it, it's not as bad.

On the forgiveness thing, we empathize with people so well, if something tugs at our heart and we welcome everybody with open arms to comfort and console, but with our own, I think we expect our people to know better, so when we see them make the same mistake, it's like he should have know better, but he keeps trying to put his own on front street, but not the people who wrong us.

I know I was all over the place and prolly not clear, but it's hard to process it all and give a clear thought breh.

Blaming the victim has been a pattern for him. That's how he has won points with the white community, he's an elitist piece of shyt republican who is on a quest to be one of those people the neocons can look at and say "why can't they all be more like him?" It's pathetic.

First off; his apology was wack. That whole "I didn't express it, like I meant to, like it sounded" is insulting to my intelligence.
there's no way for him to express those thoughts that would pacify the people who were offended by them. his apology was bullshyt and he shouldn't have apologized. he said nothing wrong.

You can't go from you no business hitting a woman to don't do anything to provoke domestic abuse.
are you suggesting that in a heated situation between a man and a woman that nothing a woman can do will have any bearing on how things play out even including the woman physically attacking the man?

there's a difference between the guy that beats his wife because he's an abusive person and a normal guy in a bad situation that gets escalated out of hand and the guy makes a mistake.

It's ignorant for the simple fact; a majority of women are gettin' beat for no reason. You, his supporters and himself forget his in front of a national audience speaking to 10's of millions of people. He's not on the block, in the barbershop or in his house talkin' to his sisters.

Plus, I'm gonna go on a limb and say the majority of women watching First Take are white.

They can't really relate to the image of; ":angry: WHAT YOU GON' DO, HIT ME?" sista girl, who provokes men into violence, as he was painting.

SAS tries to keep it "hood" and it backfires sometimes (see his two times sayin' nikka, on air).
and this is the issue. Stephan A spoke on an issue that's probably more prevalent in the black community on a white mainstream media outlet. he spoke of the issue universally like that's something common in the white community too. there are plenty of black women that will get in your face and attack you and tell you that you won't do shyt about it and or call the cops on you if you do. they'll get angry and instigate a bad situation just to use it to retaliate on you and screw you because they know when the smoke clears you'll be damaged worse.

i'm saying this as a black man that's had black women physically assault me with that exact sentiment. usually alcohol was involved.

I stay in Michigan.

You can say something all you want. Doesn't make it true. I don't hate women at all doesn't mean I have to tolerate or stay silent about all the slick shyt they pull either though.

Breh, I'm not going back and forth over who deserves the blame in a domestic violence situation.

Because, it's quite obvious; when thecoli thinks of a domestic abuse victim, they see this:

You guys are proving that while it is a worthwhile conversation, it's not something you'd want to say on national television, in front of a majority white audience because it lacks proper context and it becomes emotional more often, than not.

SAS needs to stick to reviewing basketball games.

He is not a sociologist, nor an anthropologist or a psychologist. And shows in this dense talking points.

Once, again; MY BIGGEST ISSUE IS HE DID THIS TO A BLACK WOMAN, WHEN IT DIDN'T NEED TO BE SAID, AT ALL (ESPECIALLY IN FRONT OF A BUNCH OF WHITE PEOPLE).

Ray Rice got 2 games and everyone's runnin' to "well, she could have provoked him" as if he got a year or something. Arguing about nothing...
