Stephen A. Smith defends Donald Trump claiming Black Americans relate to him being discriminated against
Stephen A. Smith and Donald Trump Stephen A. Smith and Donald Trump
PoliticsBy Brandon Contes on 04/19/2024
Stephen A. Smith joined Sean Hannity on Fox News Thursday night and defended Donald Trump after the former president controversially claimed Black Americans relate to him “being discriminated against.”
Trump made the comment in February, as he boasted about his criminal indictments while speaking at a gala organized by the Black Conservative Federation.
“And then I got indicted a second time and then a third time and a fourth time!” Trump told the audience. “And a lot of people said that that’s why the Black people like me, because they have been hurt so badly and discriminated against. And they actually viewed me as– I’m being discriminated against. It’s been pretty amazing.”
Two months later, Stephen A. Smith is defending those comments, expressing outrage over the criminal trials against Trump and claiming the former president was right to compare his current legal situation to that which Black Americans have experienced.
“Dare I say something that might– will probably be termed the most uncomfortable thing that I’ve ever had to articulate out of my mouth from a political perspective.” Smith said on Hannity. “But I gotta tell you something. As much as people may have been abhorred by Donald Trump’s statement weeks ago talking about how Black folks, he’s hearing that Black folks find him relatable because of what he is going through is similar to what Black Americans have gone through, he wasn’t lying! He was telling the truth.
“When you see the law, law enforcement, the court system, and everything else being exercised against him, it is something that Black folks throughout this nation can relate to with some of our historic, iconic figures. We’ve seen that happen throughout society.
“So, no matter what race, what ethnicity you may emanate from, we relate to you when you’re suffering like that, cause we know we have. And that’s what he articulated. As unpopular as it was, as much as we didn’t like to hear it, it’s the truth. And there’s no way around it. Those are all contributing factors to the state of affairs with the slippage that appears to be taking fold when it comes to President Biden, unfortunately.”
Charles Barkley heard the same comments from the former president and threatened to “punch” any “Black person walking around with a Trump mug shot” shirt during his now defunct CNN show. But after the criminal trial against Trump kicked off this week with jury selection, Smith took a far different approach toward the Republican presidential candidate than Barkley did.
Earlier this week on The Stephen A. Smith Show, Smith ranted about the ongoing prosecution against Trump in New York, labeling the former president’s hush money trial a “disaster” and “much ado about nothing.” He took his outrage over Trump’s criminal trials a step further on Fox News Thursday night by admitting he was articulating the “most uncomfortable thing” to ever come out of his mouth. Smith already stated he would be voting for Joe Biden in the upcoming election, but after his recent defense of Trump, it certainly seems like the ESPN host won’t be doing the incumbent any favors.
I really hope people don’t fall for the OJ Simpson Banana In The Tailpipe again.- 1

One of the problems is this trumped up vague notion of “having it all”. Nobody really “has it all”. There’s always some trade off to be made somewhere….always.

Seinfeld doesn't have competition if you aren't including The Simpsons. That bracket is like putting the '97 Bulls in March Madness.
2nd place is a fun convo.
A proper 16 (I ain't seeding them) probably should be something more like
Seinfeld
Simpsons
Cheers
I Love Lucy
All In The Family
MASH
Curb
Frasier
Arrested Development
The Cosby Show
The Office
Parks and Rec
Sunny
Roseanne
Larry Sanders Show

4A at that. I like Adrian, he’s done great things at Sinton but uh yea….no. -
True. What I wonder though is is anyone still on the fence about this fucking guy? By this point how come your mind not be made up?
Minds may be made up but you’re forgetting the much more important decision.
“Am I going to get up off my ass today or any of the days in the previous weeks of early voting and go to the polls to vote for the guy I made my mind up on. Or, am I just gonna sit here and bait while watching Ow My Balls”- 4

Hello, John, how are you doing today? You mailed in my company a postcard a few weeks back requesting information on penny stocks that had huge upside potential with very little downside risk. Does that ring a bell?
Yeah, I may have sent something.
Okay, great. The reason for the call today, John, is, something just came across my desk, John. It is perhaps the best thing I’ve seen in the last six months. If you have 60 seconds, I’d like to share the idea with you. You got a minute?
Actually, I’m really very…
The name of the company, Truth Social. It is a cutting edge social media firm out of the Southeast awaiting imminent patent approval on the next generation of bullshit generators that have both huge civil discord and sedition applications now. Right now, John, the stock trades over-the-counter at 10 cents a share. And by the way, John, our analysts indicate it could go a heck of a lot higher than that. Your profit on a mere $6,000 investment would be upwards of $60,000!

Talk about a fucking disaster. The NFL Fans Going Goon thread would be 20x longer than any of those spaz Houston Astros threads where they are all there hyperventilating over every early May pitch like it's game 7 in the playoffs.

It's really nuts how the longer and stranger this all gets that the posters on this thread and the indictment thread who used to seem measured, logical, orderly and reasonable now are starting to seem insane by continuing to be measured, logical, orderly and reasonable whil the emotional outburst people who seemed to be teetering on the ledge on a minute by minute basis seem more and more like the sane ones.
Fuck this guy for doing that.
