uperstar commentator Stephen A. Smith told comic, pundit, and podcast host Bill Maher that President-elect Donald Trump beat the charge that he’s racist because Trump has “a portfolio of appearances with Black folks” going back decades. Smith was the guest on this week’s edition of Maher’s Club Random Podcast. during which a good chunk of time during was spent discussing Trump’s surprisingly decisive victory in the presidential election.

Racism was a prominent theme in the election, and in Maher’s discussion with Smith — who said that Black people and minorities who called Trump racist “did him a favor”:

SNIP

If you if you’re going to bring up him in the 1970s when his daddy owned apartment complexes and minorities was in in those complexes, then don’t you have to bring up Biden and his relationship with Senator Byrd, who was who was from West Virginia, who died at the age of 97, that was in office until he was about 97.

Or maybe conservatives are too busy try to fix our nation and don’t have time for the race baiting garbage .
And maybe black and brown folks appreciate this, as they want a nation that functions?

Because the rap was bullshit and he’s not a racist.

So are most black people. An older black employee in a local Walmart near me in south Orlando is a Trump supporter. A former south Bronx resident, she and her family there were impressed and won over by Trump’s rally there.

His court fight against the City of Palm Beach because he wanted to allow Blacks and Jews into his club might have had something to do with it...

Gotta love that Smith fella. He’s got that stupid look on his face that says you’re the stupid one for taking him seriously.

Stephen A Smith hates white people. Should be called the “Race Dude”. Likewise Joy Reid is known as the “Race Lady”
No one should care what they say to believe

Racism was a prominent theme in the election

Sure. In any political contest, of any kind, at any level, involving any person, the Democrats have two things to say: "He's a racist" and "He's a rapist". That's it. That's all they ever have. And so, surprise surprise, in 2024, when Trump ran for President, "Racism was a prominent theme in the election".

Mark Levin always talks about how much he likes and respects Stephen A. Smith. I think Smith is a two-faced, double talking moron who changes his views to please whatever group he’s speaking to. Not a good plan when you want to gain credibility.

Sorry Mark.

He has that “I hate whitey” look to him all time. He was on Cuomo’s show with Bill O Reilly and other guests in that town hall episode a few weeks back. Sometime he speaks truth but mostly he is just looking for ratings. Comes across like Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson with racism being around every corner

To me, a “portfolio” of photos with black people sounds like the photos were contrived.

I highly suspect these are real relationships

I will never understand why anybody ever listens to Steven A. Smith. The guy bloviates on everything and yet has zero expertise in anything. Yeah, same with that Charlamaine guy. Apart from talking ad nauseaum what is their claim to fame? Vacuous entertainers.
