and it all kinda started when Jim Brown

made comments about Kobe being born in Italy so let me read you exactly what he

said

Kobe was confused about culture because he was raised in

Italy not the US and that if he were to organize our athletes today

as he did in 1967 to discuss Mohammed Elise conscientious objection to the

Vietnam War

Kobe would not be invited so that's how we Chris for writing about what Jim

Brown has said yeah

in an interview and net so pretty serious this a

Kobe I now I like Jim Brown's activism

I the probably going a little too far in a statement soco be going to strike back

worries yet so kobe took to Twitter because of course anytime there's any

type of argument

a public figure has to write something on Twitter he said a global

african-american

is an inferior shade to American african-americans

whom that doesn't sound very mandela or doctor king sir

like area the serbs will be respectful yet ok Jim Brown

a but maybe a measure he meant it

somebody at least at it okay are so now this led to a larger issue

and of course Stephen a Smith pass the way

yes so Stephen a Smith a you know he's the coast to take

a first take he said black conservatives are considered pariahs in our

ostracized in our communities and it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever

so let's stop there i think thats uninteresting take because oftentimes we

will have

up you know clips from Fox News where they will have a token black man on

there is usually a token conservative black man

saying really hideous things about the black community right

and we will criticize them because oftentimes I feel like they're either

being used for their misled or misleading

so you jumpin Jack what do you think about those comments arcs a couple

things

number one I don't know that could be seen a conservative so

Stephen a Smith is taking this in a slightly different direction but number

two

like I said normally agree with jim brown and I really

the appreciate what you did with Muhammad Ali back in the day

you know I'm it was around but looking back at what he did

I and a I I don't like that distinction between

guys who grew up in Italy in here it is it's as a piece in kobe is not black

enough

and I i don't agree with that I don't like that okay now

at the same time series will be good to use like hey you know what he makes no

sense that was the

black conservatives mmm not so much

you know I'll tell you why the South controversial like well who are you to

say

you know you know there's a wide opinion and diversity the african-american

community

well really no shit Sherlock I'm figure that out

I heard I do they all had the same a bit weaker ok all good corporate governance

billions of course they do

but that's not the issue so good african-americans have different

opinions on taxes

or on foreign policy obviously they kept me

but the problem is right now the Republican Party

has one thing that's kind of a deal breaker they don't seem to like

african-americans

okayed now so for example I'm a Turkish descent

when I was growing up all the people I know I'm not saying I represent the

whole church American community

there I would say about taxes seventy percent Republic okay

and that's it was a new jersey right now I would say

there at least 70 percent democratic and was anecdotal

you go you talk to any Muslim community in america in your fine and terms are

largely Muslim now the people I know

after them don't believe in religion anyway but says they identify themselves

as Muslim

when the republican party seems to despise all Muslims it was kind of a

deal breaker

you know you might maybe love those guys were doctors and they want to lower

taxes

but they didn't want someone who said got your taxes but I despise you

right and I'd like to wage war against every country that has people have your

dissented right so when republicans a

what civil rights all over and over and over again

and then you come and tell me why will you not being fair because there's

actually black republicans

actually if you look at the polling you look at the voting there is a lot of

them

causes that huge deal breaker ship yeah it's more about it's more about the

policy the republicans try to pass

as opposed to you know we don't want black people to have differences of

opinion

and that's what up Stephen Smith seems to believe you know he continues on he

says

this is a problem that exists within our community because you are

because you are from our community everybody believes that everybody is

supposed to be identical to one another

and we can't display or exercise any kind of versatility

alright or range in our talking or thinking it's a problem

that we have to deal with so he does things like

all were not tolerant differences of opinion but again

if you are supporting a party that continuously tried the past policy that

goes against your best interest

yeah members under community are gonna criticize you for that you gotta look

out for your best interest

we think about all the different things that republicans upset off-the-cuff

about how you need to drug test minorities because they're probably

doing drugs if they're on welfare

and you want to give them any public assistance if they're doing drugs that's

just one example so many different things that they've said in the past

so that's why they get ostracized that's why they get criticized

can't hook it's even a smoke this bowl grade

and it seems to me like now I'm speculating but it seems to me you he

would like lower taxes

and whatever price it takes to get those lower taxes okay

so again at the gay community youth in the gay community is their wide-ranging

appeal of course they do

but they don't like it when you say they're on natural in a shouldn't have

the rights as straight americans have it senator father party concept to

understand

I think Stephen a Smith is being purposely dance on that
