ESPN Analyst Stephen A Smith is a total stud, questioning the attacks on Gov. Martin O’Malley after he said “Black lives matter, White lives matter, All lives matter”, because racist blacks only want black lives to matter, and don’t think that white people or Asian people’s lives matter.
“as much as attention was so desperately aimed towards “Black Lives Matter,” where is all this noise when Black folks are getting killed in our communities every single day? Does it only matter when we’re getting killed OUTSIDE OF OUR COMMUNITY, by folks who look differently than us?”
Racist black people will for sure start attacking Stephen A Smith, but I don’t think he really cares that much, because he knows he is 100% right.
Here is Stephen A Smith’s entire statement. Perfectly stated.
I didn’t hear Gov. Martin O’Malley’s interview. And I’m not debating the significance of “Black Lives Matter.” I’m a BLACK MAN! I know this.
Nor am I focusing on O’Malley’s words or context itself. That’s really not the issue to me.
The issue is: as much as attention was so desperately aimed towards “Black Lives Matter,” where is all this noise when Black folks are getting killed in our communities every single day? Does it only matter when we’re getting killed OUTSIDE OF OUR COMMUNITY, by folks who look differently than us?
That was my point. It IS my point. It will REMAIN my point. And I’m not changing my position one bit.
Whatever context O’Malley made in saying “All Lives Matter” is his issue to deal with. The same could be said for Hillary Rodham-Clinton when she alluded to that weeks ago. But it still does not negate the point that if we’ve reached a point where a PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE is forced to apologize and engage in clarification when choosing to say “ALL LIVES MATTER” — while a few Black Folks are allowed to reign terror throughout our own community by killing one another with nary a word said about it, then the problems that truly permeate the Black Community will never be resolved.
It’s the truth. Deal with it.
No Black Man with a soul would dream of attacking the movement that is “Black Lives Matter.” I’m certainly not doing any such thing. I never will.
Just make sure I hear #BlackLivesMatter ALL the time.
Specifically, when we’re getting killed by one another
I love when Stephen A Smith says “It IS my point. It will REMAIN my point. And I’m not changing my position one bit.”
Now there is a man with some balls, and an educated head on his shoulders!
ESPN host Stephen A. Smith publicly disowned action taken by members of the #BlackLivesMatter movement with the following tweets on Tuesday.
While he does not specify, Smith’s tweets likely refer to the protesters that booed 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Martin O’Malley off the stage at the Netroots Nation Conference on Saturday, after he said the phrase, “black lives matter, white lives matter, all lives matter.”
In addition to being one of the hosts of ESPN’s “First Take,” Smith has made a name for himself as an extremely vocal supporter of the black community, but he has not been afraid of making controversial statements about resisting group think within the civil rights movement. Back in 2014, he received tremendous backlash for defending comments made by Mark Cuban in reference to the Trayvon Martin case, and just this past April he was openly critical of the Baltimore rioters.
