Steve Harvey Doesn’t Get Why Everyone Is So Pissed About His “Brown Water” Insult To A Flint, MI Caller

Steve Harvey Defends His Flint “Brown Water” Joke


Despite a mountain of criticism, Steve Harvey is standing by his decision to rag on Michigan’s cloudy poisoned water while ribbing a caller over the NBA Finals outcome the other day.

While making an appearance at his four-day boys’ mentorship program in Georgia, Harvey told an AJC reporter that he really doesn’t get the outrage over what he said, since it was meant to be taken as just trash talk between him and the caller, not a hardcore insult on the city of Flint and its troubles.

“The uproar came. This is sort of crazy. It was out of context. I was just talking to this one guy.”

He also made a point to bring up the fact that he dedicated a full hour of his show to the Flint water crisis when it first occurred, even putting pressure on then-Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to address the situation when it first occurred.

“I had city officials and city members for a whole hour.”

He feels like folks’ sensitivity is going to keep him from being able to do his job telling jokes.

“I don’t know if I’ll be able to tell jokes. I can’t say nothin’ about nobody!”

He's right.

These days everything has become so PC.

Everyone wants to whine and be offended by something.
What would happen if he brought up Anne Frank or The Holocaust? JDL would come after him. Face it, our community has been made to be a punching bag. I once defended Steve Harvey, but I can't any more.

Not sure why you're comparing genocide to dirty water. Do we even have any context to the joke or are people taking that line and blowing their lid?

It's a form of genocide when you have mainly poor Blacks & others dying of poisoned water.

Nah he doesn't get a pass for this. This is the same dude that use to be homeless for 3 years and slept in his car. This is the same dude that cried on his TV show when his producers surprised him with the white folks who took his ass in when he was homeless and didn't have shyt. This is the same dude that stole gas from the gas station just to make it. He knows what its like to struggle.

Now that he's rich, you can't tell him shyt. His tone has now changed to "I don't give a damn about slavery" and making a Flint joke that's not only sensitive toward struggling black folks, but because he's rich he's basically talking down to his own struggling people. If he was struggling he wouldn't be fond of that joke.

fukk him.
