Anyone else noticed how BLATANTLY racist Stephen A Smith is?

And why does nobody say anything or do anything about it? Why is it acceptable from him? Because he is black?

    LOL!

    Because he know's he can get away with it!

    Black people get a pass for being straight up racists, especially comedians and entertainers. Steven A. is an entertainer, not a serious journalist.

    You do know it's like this because of slavery and segragation. It's an unspoken rule that you let black people say whatever they want because they got pooped on for 400 years and then spit on until the late 60's. No matter how hostile black people are white don't want to bite back or seem hostile because of the past.

    I know white people can't say sh*t though, LOL! Unless your on the O'Reily factor, or some other show geared to racists whites.

    Just watched him on First Take exclaim " a white man can't enforce rules to not use "n word". Many whites died, were jailed fighting discrimination against blacks. He doesn't understand that the continued use of that word in our society will inhibit progress towards racial harmony and long term equality in America. Most white Americans have no connection with the ugliest time in American history when slavery was common in the southern states. A slur against a race of people, no matter who says it, is wrong. Wake up Steve.

    Stick to sports topics steven a. smith..Everything is always about race. GOD made us all human beings, no one can change their skin color or race. it s painfully difficult listening to someone degrading people because of their race. I happen to not be racist, Everytime S Smith speaks I have to turn the channel ..Do your job and discuss sport related issues...spare us ur pity party leave the drama at home and talk sports without degrading any race....REAL RACIST DIVIDE HUMANS IN CATEGORIES...THAT WOULD BE YOU.. MR.S.A.SMITH

    Steven A -- thinks he needs to be the voice of the black people. That hes a popular figure and on TV. so people see him and he feels blacks expect him to stand up for his race . comes off as very racist Skip keeps looking for the great white hope -ie-- tim tebow--jonny mansel so there you have it they both come off and make it about race !!

    I'm not a fan of his at all, but to call him racist is ridiculous. Obviously, the folks at ESPN don't think so either. He's been ripping Pacman Jones and Plaxico Burress and all the other black athletes who been in trouble.

    I dunno what he did this time, but I hate his guts. He's a boisterous reporter, I can't stand him. Everything that comes out his mouth is either inaccurate, manipulative or just attracts attention to himself. You're right though, he's extremely biased. I've barely ever listened to him or watched him on tv except for the 2006 draft. But from what I've seen he's just an ignorant windbag who doesn't think before he speaks. But it wouldn't surprise me if he were.

    People are afraid to say anything against ' minorities ' because they have no backbone and are afraid of what the plebs might say about them. I personally say what I feel, as this is quite possible without being offensive. It's a sad situation when one race can get away with 'racism' and another race can't. It's all down to pseudo ethics. Pretence that is-

    I can't stand that asshole he gets on my nerves and maybe that is the reason no one says anything because he'll pull the race card on them.
