Stephen A. Smith goes IN on Colin Keapernick for not voiting

[NoChillJones]

sad to see brehs happy to live in ignorance.

you'll wise up when you get older.

Stop with the fukkery nikka. If you want to vote more power to you. But don't pretend like it gives you super nikka intellect when your just another dumb ass pawn who thinks you got the golden ticket.

Oh and I been around this bytch twice and working on my 3rd lap you young dumb fukk

 

[Chrishaune]

Yeah man....you bring all of that attention to yourself trying to fight for your causes. You have to vote.

 

[Professor Mac]

Kaep is madd ignorant...and im so happy black media is calking him

Its like you nikkas are so easily amused ...

Like when YG made the video "fukk Trump " ..

Ookkay..but what else you got nikka .. what are your ideas and solutions for tpur perceived problems.. its like these nikkas dont have that extra thought gear outside of "bringing attention to something "

I'm not even American breh. I just see people voting and it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Unless.. the candidate people vote for in any particular state actually affects the reps in that state? Or is their mind already made up?
Pardon my ignorance of the American voting/election system, I'm just mad that orange fugazi hitler fakkit won

@DonKnock under trump you guys really might get fascism ote
The simple ass way I see it is, if you vote for one person, but the person that actually decides for your state votes the other way (even if, say, the votes were overwhelmingly for one but the rep still voted the other way), it seems a little useless. Of course it would be foolish to abolish the voting system, just saying that the system sucks. Besides almost half the people didn't even vote :thefukkyoumeanmayne_1: if the voting system truly works then Americans failed themselves


I just cancelled my trip to Cali off the strength of Trump's election
i was looking forward to that so much

oh, ok thought you were american....it's ok, i understand the frustration....to answer your questions:

yes, voting does make a difference...it's a reason why you see the powers that be fight so much over voting districts, rezoning/resizing of districts, etc....they trying to control the vote and dictate who will get picked from that area....

what you talking about is 2 different things...voting for the president is different from voting for local (city, state) reps....there are 2 elections: local and national, which affect each other....but people tend to think the national (president) vote is the only one that matters, ignoring the local (city, state) one...when in fact, people need to look at and participate in both....dont wanna take this thread off track, so i started a thread in TLC called 'Let's talk about how voting really works'....i want to use that, with the help of others, to help educate people on how the shyt really works...so they can stop going off myths, what ifs, well i thoughts, etc....you can check it, ask questions there, and hopefully it helps you understand our system more...

 

[philmonroe]

You lost respect for a person who clearly outlines his stance on voting before the election even took place

On everything I wish that nikka you quoted and other morons would stop using that phrase "lost respect" like the person they say it about knows and or gives a fukk about their respect. Its not like,you going to disrespect them or some shyt IRL so who cares what respect you've lost for somebody that you've probably never met and could give two shyts about your "respect". Cats need to get over themselves smfh.

 

[homiedontplaydat]

Voting ain't gonna do a damn thing to stop police from killing us with impunity, even local voting won't fix that. The system itself is what allows this to happen, and no matter who the candidate is on the ballot they will uphold that system less they be replaced with someone who will. IT'S THE SYSTEM THAT NEEDS OVERHAULING NOT THE CANDIDATES.

I respect the work that Kaep is putting in in his community more than I do a sheep who goes blindly to the ballot to vote because they're scared. We have the RIGHT NOT TO VOTE. If u don't feel any of the candidates deserve ur vote then don't give it to them. I see nothing wrong with any person exercising that right

 

[lutha]

So y'all think that Colin voting, and say, Hilary got elected that it would benefit black folks?

i'm not saying that....i'm not saying he had to vote for the president...what i've been saying is that voting for local things that affect the very community you talking about changing is important, and can help along with putting boots on the ground/doing work in the community....they go hand and hand...to me, if you say you dont wanna vote for local shyt cause you didnt like the presidential candidates is bullshyt....fukk them, vote for shyt that affects your community day to day...

 

[lutha]

If there were black independents to vote for than okay

But the path to real freedom is not voting for democrats no matter well intentioned they seem

Politicians will ALWAYS put party ahead of black folks

that's when people need to do research on people that are running...everyone isnt repub/dem....there are 'no party' people on the ballot....but the powers that be got cats so brainwashed, they think they need to vote red/blue only....

 

[Rekkapryde]

I'm confused why y'all try to spin it this way. Some of y'all are always looking for the black folks hand out. Life ain't ever worked that way where some magical politician is gonna give us our 40 acres and a mule, but we can find some that will make some of this bullshyt less hard. The reason you vote for Hilary in this case is to stop us from getting fukked even harder. We stay getting passively fukked, but Trump and his people are going to actively seek us out and make sure they catch anyone they missed. They're whole shyt was saying to poor white folks that it's "those" people's fault y'all lives suck and as he makes it shyttier for them he's gonna keep pointing in our direction as to why it's going wrong for them.



What does coming up with fake statutes that were never possible have to do with not voting? I've met a few KKK folks and they ain't come at me sideways face to face and that's all that matters. Being in the KKK ain't the reason cops shooting black folks, it's because they're cool with hiring cowards that shouldn't be cops in the first place. Loretta Lynch being Attorney General would be able to punish the ones that she could or at least make them 2nd guess doing something fukked up because of the backlash. Once Guiliani is in place they don't have to 2nd guess shyt. They'll be able to be as fukked as they wanna be......don't act gimme no bullshyt like it's been terrible for us now. Go ask your grandparents how cops treated them back when they were fukking growing up. It is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better now than it was in the 60's.

Also, to the "I wouldn't vote either". Are you even American?

 

[GreatestLaker]

Damn, Max just schooled the fukk out of Keapernick and those that didn't vote.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Son, there is a difference between not voting for a president and choosing not to vote AT ALL. SO you chose not to vote locally or at the state levels. All of the decade-old drug laws that mass-incarcerated blacks over petty drug charges that were beginning to be untangled, you just gave them ammo to put them right back. God forbid you get 'LEGALLY' stop and frisked, and get tossed into the private prison system who's stop just went up over night.

Good luck, son.

Once again, black people are being blamed

 

[richaveli83]

If Hillary Clinton would have won would Smith have gone in on him?

 

[Ronnie Lott]

.don't act gimme no bullshyt like it's been terrible for us now. Go ask your grandparents how cops treated them back when they were fukking growing up. It is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better now than it was in the 60's.

Also, to the "I wouldn't vote either". Are you even American?

Tell that to Eric Garners family
Oscar Grants family
Philando Castile
I could go on

 

[BlackSexyllence]

Stephen is so vile and embarrassing.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Both SAS and Max sound like fukkin idiots

They clearly missed the point
