| "You talkin' about me bruh?" |
Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." Frederick Douglass gave it to us like this, "Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe." Then Confucius made it plain and simple for a boy when he spit, "Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance."
Well playas...if that's the case then Stephen A. Smith is runnin' in the negative on knowledge because if you told this dun that what he said to a group of University of South Alabama black students wasn't reckless and ignorant you'd have to fight him in the parkin' lot.
Ole boy was speakin' to the students as part of their Black History Month celebration when he told the black students that racism doesn't exist for them. So that you boyz won't say that I'm lyin' and makin’ stuff up here's exactly what this dun said:
“Racism doesn’t exist. Obviously, I’m lying. Of course it exists, but not for you. See, you don’t have to go to the back of the bus. You’re not denied the opportunity to eat at restaurants, or to enter night clubs, or to patronize businesses. You have the right to vote. You’re not being lynched. You’re not being hung.”
Now let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! This cat must be drinkin' out of the same trough that both Charles Barkley and Stacey Dash is throwin' up in. Now he's out dancin' the jig for boyz just like them.
Racism doesn't exist for them? What world is he livin' in bruh? Does he not see the GOP front runner holdin' rallies where dun's are showin' up with Confederate flags and holdin' KKK signs up, pushin' a young black woman through the crowd because she just happens to be black and at the rally? Does he not see the support that a Presidential candidate in 2016, that is the front runner in the GOP Party, I might add, is gettin' that is advocatin' the separation of groups of people in America? Did he not see a boy walk into a South Carolina church and kill 9 people simply because they were black?
I guess this dun has been in a deep sleep over the past several years when young black unarmed men and women have died at the hands of the very people that have been sworn in to protect and serve them. Did he not see a 12 year old kid in Cleveland gunned down by police for playin' with a toy gun without even tryin' to figure out if it was real or not. Did he not see the kid in Chicago get shot 16 times by police with his back to them? These are just a few examples of the foolishness Stephen A. says doesn't exist for our young people. I could go on for hours with examples but you get my point.
If he hasn't seen all of that then I'm quite sure he hasn't looked at the current criminal justice system that’s lockin' up black folks for double and sometimes triple the time as their white counterparts for committin' the same crimes! Oh I'm lyin'? Accordin' to the Bureau of Justice Statistics people of color continue to be disproportionately incarcerated, policed, and sentenced to death at significantly higher rates than their white counterparts. One in three black men can expect to go to prison in their lifetime accordin' to those numbers. And that's not because they're committin' any more crimes than their white counterparts. They are just more likely to be convicted.
The Department of Justice also says that blacks and hispanics are three times more likely to be searched durin' a traffic stop than whites. That's called racism playboy! Stephen A. has lost his darn mind!! And that's the edited version!!
It's sad to say but I've got more respect for Michael Jordan's ole non opinion havin' butt than Stephen A. at this point. I can't stand that Mike NEVER has anything to say about nothin' but at least he doesn't say a freakin' word. I'd rather you say nothin' than to say something as ignorant as racism doesn’ exist for young black folks because they aren't bein' pushed to the back of the bus, or because they can eat in a darn restaurant or because they aren't bein' lynched! Killin' a person that is unarmed is modern day lynchin' bruh! WHERE YOU FROM BRUH?
If you can’t contribute to the conversation of race and culture intelligently then just stick to talkin’ crazy about sports. We’ve got enough clowns dancin’ the jig out here makin’ us look crazy without you joinin’ in too! Stop me when I start lyin’!
Playas Thesaurus:
- Spit: verb - to say
- Dun: noun - the person in question, dude, guy, etc. It’s whoever I’m talkin’ about and its non-gender specific.
Holla At Ya Boy!
