WATCH: Stephen A. Smith Goes off on Black-on-Black Homicide: 'We Need to Stop Killing Each Other'By Mike Miller
June 01, 2023
Whatever one thinks about ESPN host Stephen A. Smith, chances are it’s not middle of the road. Smith has made millions of dollars making brash statements about everything from sports to politics to the ills of society, including controversial commentary about Black America not commonly heard in the media.
On Wednesday, Smith not only called out the so-called “mainstream” media for ignoring black-on-black homicide and other violent crimes within the black community, but he also pointed a well-deserved finger at the black community itself.
Speaking on his podcast, Smith addressed the Memorial Day Weekend carnage in the streets of Chicago. As we reported on Monday, 51 people were shot, 12 were killed, and two two-year-olds were injured — one of whom found a gun in the street and shot herself in the hand.
Stephen A. went off:
When we gonna look at ourselves when it comes to black people being killed in the streets of America? I don’t even want to get into what happened in Chicago, but I have no choice.
Smith pointed out the reality that black-on-black homicide is hardly a new phenomenon:
It’s not the first time this has happened. It’s been happening year after year after year. Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore, [and] the list goes on and on. Where’s the noise at? Where’s the protest? Where’s [the] mainstream media talking about that? Where is it?
The “mainstream” media is crickets. So is the Democrat Party. After all, Joe Biden — who straight-up lied about the Dallas mass shooting in May 2022, wrongly rushing to blame the tragedy on a white supremacist — laughably called “white supremacy” the “single most dangerous terrorist threat in our homeland.”
