A. Smith, explaining she felt there were times Stephen A. Smith misspoke about Black women and didn't have her back. (🎥Flagrant and Funny w/ Cari Champion & Jemele Hill/Youtube)show more

If you got a problem with me please let me know to my face so we can fix it don’t wait until 10 years later to log on to your social media to say it I agree with Stephen A Smith

Damn he’s right tho…..if you have a problem with me & you have my number you couldn’t call me directly why I have to hear about it publicly

What is this “speaking about black women” narrative about? Are black women beyond reproach?

You gotta stay away from brauds like Cari and Jemele. They move off no logic or sane point of view. They operate off emotion and wanting to be in the popular squad

Is there a big audience for black chicks bitching and acting way smarter than they actually are?

What I got from this is the ladies operate on emotion and Stephan is logical, Cari and Jamel moving micro and Stephan macro.

It would be nice if she knew what detrimental meant oh wow that’s rough

I will never understand Black women’s preference for weaves in the media when they can wear their natural hair in different styles. This is social conditioning at its best. You spent years brainwashing ppl to believe their natural features aren’t acceptable unless they look like what you’re used to. Next thing you know, they treat this shit as the standard and call it a choice.

He’ll never be ready and accountable for an honest conversation. His demeanor & body language shows zero interest in hearing & authentically receiving any criticism of how he moves. SAS is too far gone because💰does not generally change people, it just reveals who they are.

All SAS is saying here is if Cari felt a way about him for over a decade, after having worked with him, and knowing him, and they can get in contact with one another, why is the first time he hears about a problem between them, on a public platform? That’s a reasonable question

He’s not wrong. If you had an issue with me and left the show 10 years ago, you’ve had 10 years to pick up a phone and tell me what issues you have in private. To wait 10 years and then say something publicly and then say it’s bc I supported you…. What?

It just sounds to me like she’s asking him now’s not the time to critique black women because you are a black man with a huge platform, critique everyone else but lay off of us. His defense is if somethings going on I’m going to address it no matter the race of the individual

This weak man will never speak his mind to black people. He’s always walking on eggshells talking to these black ratchet women.

Not all black women act like this but the ones like Cari Champion you have to stay away from. I’ve dealt with a couple of them who hold on to shit for years and wait until they think the time is right to say something about it. If you don’t say something now then we’re not going to talk about it later.

Ong men n women can be so lame like u have a problem wit somebody that YOU HAVE THEY NUMBER N ABILITY TO SEE THEM IN PERSON but u cop out n go to the internet to complain about what u don’t like about the person instead of picking up the phone n callin or texting said person😂

The downfall of women is liberal women like this. “We need you to be better men”.

Shorty mad that he didn’t come to her defense whenever she went through something and waited til she could dog pile on him.

Its a very simple concept…..they have his number. When they do it publicly it looks performative and clout chasy….especially when its a rollout for their podcast

Revealing such stuff publicly before even making me know you were mad is enough reason for me to cut you off btw You can't keep me in the blind like that, it's distracting no matter how she tries to twist it

And she didn't give a fuck about the 2000 time he shit on Black men. We have no allies.

Women have accountability issues and probably always will. This is a lack of accountability and looking for a damsel in distress moment as if there was no other choice but to not speak up. The old “read my mind” you weren’t perfect for me when I needed you to be. Foh. Speak UP!

Zero accountability even when she is being super gracious 😑🤨

Black women need to have an entire reset of mind. The victimhood mentality is mind numbing.

If she truly respected him the way she says, she would have expressed her concerns privately before airing them publicly. Stephen A. is 💯 correct. And she’s a coward making excuses for doing wrong and being called on it. She should have simply said, “You’re right. I’m sorry.”

Cari tweaking in this section, if she don’t get she could’ve hit him directly and let him know how she felt then idk, u can support in silence n still get at someone directly and let them kno aye dawg ion like blah blah

I get what she’s saying. She didn’t wanna speak on any of her problems with Stephen A. Cause 1. Probably didn’t wanna lose her job and who knows how he woulda react if they did it privately. And 2. If she did it publicly she didn’t wanna cost him any future contracts with espn.

This is such a dumb conversation this whole cone of silence of we can’t criticize each other cause I’m a black woman. You’re a black man is fucking retarded. It’s so dumb.

Admitting that you don’t hold Black men at an equal level as men of other colors is racism and tribalism.

I don’t normally agree w/SAS but if you have a problem w/me or want me to clarify something I said it would be helpful if you let me know. I’ll either correct it or not, either way at least you’ll know for sure where I stand. But expecting people to read your mind is whack

Cari on some bull shyt Their numbers suck and they want Stephen A to help a sister out type ish......

Using Black Women to try and clean up his image after dogging out Black Women. Phuck him!

If I work with you and we got a good relationship and you have a beef with me, tell me. Don’t tell the world and that’s the first time I’m hearing about it. Especially if I’m the one with the biggest name bc then it’s like you using my name in a negative light for clout

These hoes be entitled for no reason at all. They want all praise and zero criticism while shitting on whoever whenever they want. Miss me with this protect black women shit you are human like everyone else.

Got called out and then try to make them the victim. This is mentality of liberals. Could have just said I’m sorry I should have come to you, but no accountability.

Stephen dodging why he verbally attacks black females is not lost on anyone. He thinks he sounds smart to the white folks he's placating. I can guarantee you that if he actually cared about who he is as a black man, he wouldn't talk such BS.
