Stephen A. Smith Talks Common Sense

Probably while bitterly clinging to his Bible & guns.

"Smith: ...but I certainly didn't expect us to own 80% of AIG; I didn't expect us to own a part of the automobile industry.

It's one thing to put forth a $787 billion stimulus package, but to drop on top of that a $410 billion omnibus package, $3.6 TRILLION budget, a Cap & Trade bill, and then to come with universal health care that ultimately lends towards a govt. take over of the heathcare system - um, these - I did not have to listen to Mark Levin, or Sean Hannity, or Rush Limbaugh, uh, to recognize that this is something that should make all of us extremely uncomfortable - because, as a young black man growing up in the streets of NYC, no matter what you say about so many of the critics perceived as leaders within the community, people may have advocated, Mark, government intervention in terms of supervising things to make sure we all are operating under a fair & equitable system, but I don't recall anybody - and I do mean anybody - that has ever walked in the Black community and advocated a government take over of anything.

It's about handling your own business; grabbing yourself by your own boot straps, and lifting yourself up. We may all need assistance, but a take over is an entirely different situation, all together, and I'm extremely uncomfortable with it. And I'm even more uncomfortable with the fact that race has become a part of the discussion. We all know that racism exists to some degree, but to act as if it is as prevelent as it was years and decades ago, is completely untrue, and it serves to divide this nation, which I think is a catastrophic thing.

Levin: Are you running for president? 'Cause I'll vote for you!"

Mark Levin is obviously a racist.

Stephen A. Smith, a sportswriter & TV personality, shares his thoughts on what's happening in America in 2009.


10 minutes well spent.
