Former NFL Player and Broadcaster Shannon Sharpe: ‘The Hardest Job I Ever Had Was BEING BLACK’

Shannon Sharpe, co-host of FS1’s Undisputed, has proclaimed that being a black man is the “hardest job [he’s] ever had.”

During the August 28 broadcast of Undisputed, Sharpe, who is reportedly worth 12 million, was discussing NFL executive Troy Vincent’s comments about the boycotts that coursed through professional sports in response to the Jacob Blake shooting.

It brought to Sharpe’s mind how blacks are oppressed in America and how hard it is to be black.

“The hardest job I’ve ever had was being black. Because you don’t get paid for it, it’s a heavy burden to bear and you can’t get good at it because all you’ll ever be is black. And no matter what you become, it’ll always be proceeded by being black,” he said.

“It’s the hardest job in America,” he continued. “Because you don’t get paid for it. And it’s a heavy burden to bear. And you can’t get food at it. Because all you’ll ever be is black.”

By the way, the oppressed Sharpe has an estimated net worth of between $12 and 18 million.

Must be tough to live with such a huge ‘inferiority complex’.
I can’t help him with that.

Can’t understand a word this guy ever says. Sounds like he has a mouth full of gravel whenever he opens his pie hole.

Hardest job I every had was being white in Black Africa as a skilled oilfield person with degrees. I was then a target to extort for bribes. Some nations were good and some were consistently bad. That is just the way it was. They were not discriminating by race but by money. If you were black and of money they would also extort you.

Another millionaire preaching to the rest of us plebs about how hard he’s had it. Good grief.

And then...when you make babies and don't raise them...you create an even bigger burden for them idiot. Black people carry a burden these days because people rightly associate them with several negative traits...mainly violence. Change your culture and people may change their prejudices

You know I am willing to bet lot's...millions of people of 'colors' other than Black actually worked much much much harder than you at your 'broadcasting job' and were never ever remunerated any where near to 12 million dollars.

Shut the hell up and go play your victim card on the freeway!

Shannon Sharpe is worth $12 million and he says being Black was his toughest job? Spare me your victim hood Shannon. You live a luxurious lifestyle, have earned more money and will continue to earn more money than 99 percent of the White people on this planet ever will! Yup, racism really held you back Shannon!

Shannon was a dirty player. When the Broncos were playing the Chiefs Shannon got some sensitive information of Derrick Thomas’ girlfriend and used it during the game to cause Derrick to blow a head gasket.

And Shannon was proud of it. Despite being a Bronco fan, I disliked him after that. Now he’s playing the publicity cards. He’s a phony on this matter, just machiavellian in others.
