I Misjudged ESPN Michael Smith

[King Poetic]

Quiet as kept and sadly, I feel like there are a good amount of women in the community that make the same snap generalizations the OP did, which helps foster this notion that most successful black men or black men with what may be perceived as "non-conventional" interests/characteristics marry ir exclusively date interracially. It's silly.

Exactly!!! He doesn't have that say deion Sanders style of swag, so people assumed he only date white..

That's exactly what it is and its fukked up. A few years ago, a female co-worker made the assumption that I only dated white women. I had to check her on it real quick and told her it's actually the opposite. I then asked her why she made the assumption. She said its because you seem responsible.

The stigma of successful black people marrying outside their race needs to stop. I never even thought about his wife and kids like that. Some people are just weird like that I guess.

Find a way to make OP's line of thinking a black woman issue brehs...#TheColi

And I agree with other, what about him ever gave off being married to a white woman

And H&H is one of the only 5 ESPN related shows i like - them, max and Marcellus, pti, ATH, le batard

Michael Smith has consistenly been one of the realest on the show.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Really.

I base it off his history c00n comments.

Just like I expect dumb c00ns are married to white women as well.

Try again breh.

What was his c00n history?
Post examples

 

[Ronnie Lott]

He's been better...but lets not act like when his and hers started it wasn't a borderline minstrel show...just him and jemele cramming as many slang words and terms into 60 minutes as possible...just michael smith saying "i'm going to keep it 100" about 30 times a show...just jemele saying "you doing to much" about a 100 times a show...both of them saying "you gonna get this work" a 100 times a show...

There is a reason why him and Hugh got into it...

Wait, you had a problem with him using slang

 

[Ziggiy]

And if he was........?

So what?

Then he'd be a c00n.

But he's not, so salute Black Excellence

Best talk show on espn because both him and jamelle keep it 100 even if u hate them

I had to stop listening because after a while it seemed like they spent more time talking about themselves than about any topics. A bunch of back patting. Before that I listened religiously. Love Michael Smith but Jamelle Hill annoys the hell out of me.

Beautiful Black family. I love it.

I'm not a regular viewer at all, tell the truth I didn't even know that he was married.
So I wouldn't be suprised whatever kind of wife he had tbh.

A Black woman said this too

 

[Izanami]

Nah never thought this. He had his little girl on the show and she was chasing him around on set. He (both) keep it real when it comes to black head coaches , race issues , Sherman on that respectability politics etc.

They did their show at Howard. Both can switch it up and speak eloquently when serious but throw in some slang when just joking around.

I love the hip hop references. The whole week before Halloween Mike kept saying, "This year Halloween fell on the weekend..." shyt made me smile every time.
