Fair or Foul: Stephen A Smith's Comments About Domestic Violence

[deadeye]

Stephen A always says "what im sayin is..., im not sayin ..... but im sayin ........."

I know he has to make his words very clear, but he does seem to but one foot in and one foot out sometimes.

True.

At first I thought he was trying to water down what he was really thinking.

Now, after looking at the segment again, I think at some point he realized he might get in trouble for what he was saying....but he panicked and couldn't figure out a way to talk himself out of it.

For as much as he likes to talk, he doesn't always do a good job of explaining himself.

 

[deadeye]

Is he suspended or fired?

They don't even show him on the promos for the show anymore.

I thought he was supposed to come back Monday, but something else must going on behind the scenes.

They just wanted to fuck with the nigga...

When women make the statement that "man should never hit a woman, under any circumstances," what they're actually say is that women are so mentally and emotionally unhinged that they're incapable of controlling themselves and everything that has been said about a women being ruled by their emotions and incapable of lucid and rationale thought is the absolute truth. The most damning part of the acknowledgment of this truth is, women are also admitting that men are not only their physical, but also their mental and intellectual superiors. It all goes back to what I said earlier, if women want to be treated as equals, they have to accept the responsibility that comes with that equality.

Wooooooooooooooooo

This shit needs to be plaqued, on my wall.

He come back wednesday.. idually they take a vacay around this time too so who knows

To both of you: I don't need to actually cold cock a female in order to defend myself from being attacked by one. Like I said, of course there are outliers: if it's Cyborg fucking Santos attacking you with a machete in her hand, you'd have no choice but to treat her like you would a wild animal and not hold back, or she'd kill you.

My point to kingblaze was strictly about actually needing to strike a female to adequately protect yourself, which is separate from the point that females should keep their fucking hands to themselves, and it's also separate from the point that a female repeatedly striking a male may cause the male to strike her back, whether he needs to or not.

Like youngun said, this shit aint binary.

everything you said wreaks of dated chauvenism. women are people too; not objects. it is ok to address them as such

I think the new term for what you're describing is benevolent sexism.

Stephen A. Smith said NOTHING wrong. If a woman hits a man, IT PROVOKES A MAN to hit back.

Self defense is only okay for women now??? Michelle Beadle is a dumb fucking cunt

Hitting back isn't needed to neutralize a flailing female. Of course there are outliers, but a female isn't going to seriously hurt you. Hold 'em off like you would any child, elderly person, or little shit dog who thinks physically attacking an able-bodied adult male is a smart idea.

Damn this got buried lol I agree with this, right down to the catchall caveat "there are outliers". I aint readin pages 8-14 of this thread, but i'm positive its turned into another 'Yo these women are infringin on our rights, we need to start fighin back'. Straight fukin pitiful.

Once a-gain i'll quote Chris Rock who is like 100-0 in the logic department:

'There's never a reason to hit a woman? Sheeeeit. There's a reason to hit anyyybody. Just-dont-do it. Theres a reason to hit a old lady down a flight of stairs. Just-dont-do it.'

A lot of yall expose yourselves as little nggas and/or nggas w/ nothin to lose. Knowing full well that the justice system is in favor of women, and that there's a good chance i could go to jail---like, JAIL, my ngga---why would i jeopordize that when i could literally wrap her in 1 arm and tell her to calm her happy ass down.

A lot of yall sound like you cant WAIT for a bytch to try you. U got that shyt pent up, and that shyt aint normal.

If I'm not mistaken, you can still get arrested and charged with domestic abuse even if you're only restraining a woman....simply because restraining her constitutes putting your hands on her.

Granted, that's not the spirit in which the law was intended.....but it's still being applied that way nonetheless.

i just discussed this with my girl, "ay now ion belee in just hittin a female, but if they hit or provoke a man, well lets just say i myself cant make no guarantees i wont lay the smack down" glad i got her agreeing on that. i think what steve said is fair, and i was disgusted by ray rice up there sayin "no woman deserves to be hit no matter what" "she's an angel" no fuck that im not for random abuse, but if she is steadily provoking(which i think she did) ay, a mane might have to defend himself. and i was even more disgusted by the nfl live crew "theres no room for this in football NO EXCUSES" "he should be suspended longer" meanwhile ol dude wife get to play innocent, tragic

If you can't articulate your thoughts

No it wasnt, what he stated didnt leave room for misinterpretation.

If you possesed common sense, like i thought you did, then you would of known he articulated himself cleary.

She took his words, and twisted them. She said, he said things he neither stated or implied.

And instead of countering her agenda, which he could of simply done, he folded like laundry.

Its funny how all the men understood exactly what he said. But all the women didnt.

May be he used to much logic, for the average women.... And not enough irrationality and emotion.

"there's never an excuse to put your hand on a woman"

"we know theyre wrong, we know they're criminal"

not sure how one can misinterpret his stance...

Easy. By actively looking for offensive content and cherry picking the parts of his comments that fit your narrative. SMH.

The Golden Rule of the Bible:

"Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you"

i.e. - if a bitch hit you she wants to get hit back.

See even the Bible says it's ok to smack some sense into a ho. It was co-signed by God the father & Jesus the son...the only thing left to complete the Trinity is to smack the Holy Spirit into her ass.

You know what's funny. The Chris Rock bit you quoted from Bring The Pain isn't centered around a man not hitting a woman. It's centered around a woman who is trying to provoke a man into hitting her by crossing that line we all know will push a person over the edge. He starts it off by saying "Women you know you can go too far"..and he also follows up the don't do it with "i would never hit a woman but I'd shake the shit out of one"

 

[damobb2deep]

Question say yo girl got her hands registered as a lethal weapon... she goes off the deep end and starts punching your 12 year old child... can you at least pinch her ass to try and get her off yo kid or does that still constitute as "NO REASON TO" put yo hands on her...?

And if you possessed basic reading comprehension above am 8th grade level

Not your half assed version of 'common sense'

You'd get it too

Words mean things

So use the right nouns, pronouns, verbs, and adjectives

And you'll never have to say I'm sorry

Fair enuff...

But can that "common sense" logic "at least" be applied across the board? Like with women too!?

Sorta like:

"Keep yo hands off a nigga, and you'll never have to be drug out of an elevator"
