Thank you so much for speaking on this. I'm a black man and I often find myself speaking on this in my circle and black people get so mad at me.
I as well and that reverberates the very problem he’s speaking of.
We blacks make the mistake of thinking we are one and we never were
Because there is no such thing as “black on black” crime. It’s just crime. The vast majority of black people aren’t out there shooting each other.
let’s start from the beginning tho
How did black get in this poor condition ?? Blacks didn’t wake up one day and started shooting eachother it’s years of the government sabotaging the black community and turning around and saying oh look at you guys poor conditions even do we have a lot to do with it
I don’t understand how we don’t blam other for bad conditions blacks are in
When blacks built this country and still get disrespected by other races who wouldn’t be here bc blacks
And whites like bill talking out his racist behind
How about talking about this corruption of a government we have ??
I think we’re missing a point here
A lot of us a super-sensitive to any critique. The only way our violence will decrease is within our community because the country is running on auto-pilot in terms of locking us up. We fall right into law enforcements hands, all while killing one another over dumb stuff.
When i talk to some black folks about this, they immediately want to point fingers. Like im not talking about whites im talking about us. Its so annoying.
Bro you're on another level. Find some less ignorant friends. Some people are perpetually stuck
40% of white people are co-conspirators in black on black crime. It's historically proven. Black people who are so quick to kill each other of minor issues would never give a white supremacists that same smoke.
Why are speaking as if the majority of black people commit crime its over 40million black people in america not even 10,000 were murdered last year thats not even 1 % its 400k in prison still barely 1% stop letting the media lie to you to justify the anti black racism 99% of black people dont commit crime
I don't know if Stephen A reads his messages, but I've been saying for over 30 years, that blacks only rise to the surface when someone outside of our culture commits a crime against blacks. But if it's black on black crime, its totally accepted and nobody says a word. It's the saddest thing I've ever seen.
yeh. and as a statistics guy (government statistics - not some fringe site) demonstrate consistently that black males are about 6% of the population, yet responsible for over 90% of the black homicides in total. When it's that ridiculously skewed, it looks straight up stupid to not worry about that first and foremost.
@@BossItUp911 I totally agree.
@@BossItUp911 If you like statistics you'll like this. A common argument I hear from people who say that "black on black crime isn't a problem because white people kill each other at the same rate." And what they are referring to is that since most white people are killed by other whites at a rate of 85%, and black people kill other blacks at a rate of 93%, that black on black crime is no bigger of a problem than white on white crime is. Well, they're wrong. Here's why.
When you account for percentage of population, you begin to see a different picture. Black people are 13% of the population, yet account for 50% of all murders. White people by contrast are 58% of the population, but only account for about 38% of the murder. But since there are 5 times as many white people as there are black people, that means that black people are killing each other at a rate that's roughly 7 TIMES higher than white people. It's not the same at all. The black community has a problem.
It is the culture it’s self
More like 50 years.
Its because we, as black people, are coming from broken homes and are passing it down from generation to generation. These kids are being raised on hate and drugs and alcohol. Kids raising kids who are raising more kids. No accountability in the households means no discipline.
No, the vast majority, like 99% of the black community aren’t committing these crimes. So the term black on black crime in and of itself is silly and it’s not the same as the systematic issues being addressed.
Also the internet and video games
You in denial bro, I’m 50…if you think 1% of blacks are foul you are truly naive…the culture is straight garbage now but keep pointing at whitey, I haven’t fought a white racist in about 35 years, most my issues are with blacks, ignorant young black males mainly.
let’s start from the beginning tho
How did black get in this poor condition ?? Blacks didn’t wake up one day and started shooting eachother it’s years of the government sabotaging the black community and turning around and saying oh look at you guys poor conditions even do we have a lot to do with it

And whites like bill talking out his racist behind
How about talking about this corruption of a government we have ??
I think we’re missing a point here
No fathers in the home, no leadership, single mother homes are a big issue, most of black immigrants are coming from broken homes in Africa and the Caribbean aren’t participating in these stupid crimes they prioritize family and education, they aren’t lazy and expects the government to give them everything.
Unfortunately too many people that are directly affected by these problems have an accountability problem.

He's saying what many people also think but can't say.
Cause they know they will be vilified. The same community is going to say exactly what he said. "Racism, hatred, years of oppression"
But all of that goes out the window and black folks mow down their own on a weekly basis in the summer, it's crickets.
Facts of your not black and point out the crime the black community commits you’ll get labeled a racist lol when in reality your just pointing out the fucking obvious
Bill Maher recently asked why don't Larger than life Black Celebrities stand up and start talking about this? Good on ya, SAS
Was this on Club Random?
@@sheldonmarcotte8392 Not sure, but I've heard him bring it up on Real Time a couple of times. Usually whomever the panelist are just talk around the issue because people are afraid to address it head on.

Because some of them are part of the problem.
You said it all. We must stop blaming other race for our black crime issues. We need the BLM and Others to March for That .
Never gonna happen. BLM only wants to get involved when there is money involved. No money in Black on Black crime.
whats does black lives matter even me
@@Calico997 I'm saying there must be a much greater outcry by these group on this issues instead of just waiting on some white on black issue.
BLM stole all the money and bought mansions for themselves
It's historically proven that 40% of white people are co-conspirators in black on black crimee.
I wish other high profile folks with platforms speak on this issue with the same passion. We can make a difference. Thanks for getting this going SAS!
But what does speaking about it going to solve?? This has been talked about since the civil rights movement and nothing has changed.
Now that Steph A. has his own show he can speak about real issues going on out here 👏🏾.
@@teddylovesit I didn’t say anything about racism. Anyone can comment what I just said.
@@teddylovesit Only white Americans think they know what black Americans are saying and thinking without asking a black American. This white fragility is part of the reason private industry and the Supreme Court are coming after black Americans for jobs and opportunity.
@teddylovesit Cause it's not your place about what goes on in my peoples community. The only ones that can solve the issue is my people.
@@tarrius1210my mom was assaulted by some black kids 😢in Oakland . She’s afraid . 😢it’s sad
@@teddylovesit does it even matter? I mean really, why even say it
I literally think about these points all of the time. Hit the nail on the head with this one Stephen A.
Hit the nail on the head?
This is nothin new. And its extra sad how yall see this as some lightbulb moment. Common sense stuff really.
@@sczr1186 not necessarily a light bulb moment, but rather a confirmation of an unpopular opinion that most people won't straight up admit. most people would rather virtue signal than admit common sense.

He's 1000% correct. Esspecially in his finish
We must not kill our brothers. I love my brothers ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼
Well its mf that dont love and will rob you for everything you have. Its young niggas right now just laughing at this while they plan who they going to get next..
Hearing stephen talk unfiltered is so refreshing I love how he gets his points across 🫡
How could he not?! He’s such a blowhard- you’d have to be in the next county not to hear him…
Wish he had the clamps 🗜 off on 1st take .But I gotta remember it’s a family oriented show .
I don’t see a lie told. Be mad. But I’m glad someone with a platform said it man. It’s sad and it’s getting worst. As a black man, I’m gonna say it. THANK YOU STEPHEN A
Because our people are hypocrites, we contradict the very stance we supposedly stand on. I say it all the time, it’s like black people are two circles, one circle is the uniformed, peaceful protest tryna make moves side. Then there’s a circle inside of that one, killing each other, disrespecting each other etc. then a bunch of dots representing society outside both circles looking at us like “ Oh y’all not even together” that’s how they see us, unorganized, uneducated, ignorant and violent
Hypocrites like the rest of the world
Stepehen a smith on first take last year when talking about the Washington commanders coach comparing blm riots to Jan 6 riots said that nobody likes that there’s shootings in Chicago but he’s been so worried about white on black crime when we need to focus on black on black crime he said the quite part out loud
“ mostly peaceful “ “ fiery but mostly peaceful “ dozens dead and billions in damages summer 2020
Tbh its just because most of ur people just hate whites out of jealousy.... Getting old dealing with the same people "criminals" everyday. Need to bring back the rope.... used to just let criminals swing from their mommas porch it kept them in check. Dont let the monkey take down the chimp either he swings until WE take him down.

You can’t be gangsters and victims at the same time.
Stephen A quoting Gangster Rap Music Maker Snoop Dogg while crying about Gangsterism is HILARIOUS.

Such an intelligent brother , glad he is building his own platform to speak on such issues
no discussion of white on white murders: ruclips.net/video/0EA7ajTSHjo/видео.htmlsi=4IPdKFBmCZQYfLcs
Denzel Washington is right it does start at home.
Black folks dont want to hear about there own issues. Its always more easy to talk about someone else hurting you then your own self. I wish black folks would wake up and stop the violence. We have been through too much to go out like this. From slavery to segregation to slave mentalities. It never ends. You would think after all that we would be the ones staying away from the negativity. The songs are terrible and negative, the streets are terrible and negative. This self hate runs deep!
Has nothing to do with music
@@jamirbingham4101it has so much too do with the music!! nba yb and durk have made whole discography's over killing other black people
@@samv1010see how deep the delusion is with some folks. Of course this music is part of it. It’s disgusting
This is the Stephen a I want to see. Not the ESPN version.
Will never do anything but play victim
There are more black babies dying in the mother's wound then dying in the streets from gun violence. Let's talk about that Steven A
If you cannot stop the violence amongst your own people by their own people, don’t expect others to value your existence. When this point is brought up, frequently it is minimized. But it is critical. The fact that someone needs to bring a gun to a cookout is telling. And sad..
Amazing words like a poem
Man nobody says this. In our community it's a lot of blaming and pointing fingers. A lot of things have happened that negatively affected black ppl systemically but it was done so well that we do it to ourselves now.
99% of black people aren’t out there shooting guns. So the black on black crime argument will fall on deaf ears.
THIS is OLD NEWS, LOUIS FARRAKHAN BEEN talking about this for DECADES!!!

Look…what we do isn’t great, no matter what it’s called. If a person does everything right and STILL doesn’t make it to 30, what in the hell do we say about it? All he asks is that we have to say it out loud, and we have to fight, love, and save each other.
It's all about the culture...gotta change the culture...
How you gon do that?
@@inFAMOUSBlastshards starts in the home brotha
@@JohnS-gf4sz I think it starts with law enforcement. We gotta keep the worst offenders behind bars until we're sure they're not a threat anymore.
@@inFAMOUSBlastshards good suggestion, but still think it starts in the home, and in the meantime we can clear out the pigs in our law enforcement for good, local law enforcement needs to represent the community demographics as close as it can…

5 adults killed, 2 children injured in mass shooting in Philly; suspect found in bulletproof vest < It never ends- You are right. We need more than prayers.
The realest shit he ever spoke. I'm in Baltimore me and my daughter didn't go downtown to watch the fireworks. We didn't go to the park where they barbeque every 4th. To be honest cause it's the internet I was shook I just didn't feel I could take my kid 🥹
Where im from their are firework celebrations 2 times a year at a beach.. it used to be only white people that went.. past few years blacks and middle eastern people started going and now it went from a peaceful good time with no crime to at least a couple stabbings or shootings each time and white families dont feel safe going anymore they ruined it
We can't hate other races , when our own can't get along but this been going on for years and won't stop

I have been saying things like this since around 1984!
"Our" people are LOST!
I live in a 100% white little town in Canada. Nobody lock their door here, my keys are inside my car 24/7/365. You see ATVs,UTV's,boats, snowmobiles everywhere and the keys are in the ignition 24/7/365
2016 and 2018 had 0 felonies.
We had drunk drivers, people that speed, people who catch fish off season and people that party and are too loud. We are not perfect but we have 0 rape, 0 murder, 0 liquor store robbed, 0 armed robbery, 0 people shooting someone and we are armed to the teeth. If i had to guess, i would say there's much more firearms here than humans, maybe 2 or 3 to 1
Yep, travel from Detroit over the river into Windsor Canada and the difference is black and white.
We can’t keep blaming systemic racism. At this pint in this year, it’s a cop out.
Black on black crime is getting worse, but yet we keep shouting black lives matter. Let's open up the whole conversation, shall we.
Hmmm I'm 55 years old, served 21.5 years in the Marine Corps, and now been an officer 15 years and never been to jail.
Great parents, great household, and a great heart. Well done sir, friend, and fellow soldier 🫡
Well that's good that you have never been to jail what about those who have been in prison and didn't commit the crime but he was blamed because he was black
With all due respect, this isn’t about your personal benchmarks. You sound like a leader, consider being one in our community instead of just telling us you have the potential.
This man needs a award for saying what everyone is saying
Imagine being freed from slavery only for your own people to kill eachother. Its the most depressing thing I have ever heard
Great topic this needed to be addressed great job doing so, I've been saying this for a long time, well done SAS. What the hell is wrong with our people ?
You have to start at the root of the problem; kids growing in single parent homes. Family is the foundation.
It’s not
@@jamirbingham4101if it's not music or single parent family's what is it
@@jamirbingham4101Family is 100% the foundation. Family/religion, will instill values in you. However your environment is crucial as well.
Imagine a neighborhood where all are two parent households that all instill proper values/morals into their children.
@@samv1010 lol having a family foundation means nothing in the hood, I had friends who fathers were very strict and they still turned out bad😂😂 the chances of kids growing up bad increases when everything they see is negative. Notice how all black on black crime is in inner city areas? But for some reason blacks think it’s a middle-high class black problem😂 y’all let these white folks tell y’all how to think still and it’s sad.
That’s not the problem. There are black kids from two parent homes, and go to good schools that are out here thuggin.
The problem is the rap music of the last 25 years. All it does is glorify sex, drugs and murder, on repeat.
Those topics are an affirmation at this point. And we’re seeing the fruits of all that manifest.
It’s time for Denzel, LeBron, Benjamin Crump, Al Sharpton and Obama to start speaking up about what we’re doing to ourselves. We only see them when a black kid, usually a thug, gets shot.
Enough is enough.
As long as young people feel it’s ok to go to prison vs going to school. This is how it will be! Sad.
Exactly or don't forget 6 feet under
100% agree with everything he just said. As a black man I have seen this over and over again. It's insane
Murder is bad no matter what race the victim OR shooter is.
Stephen, plz talk about the influence this rap music, their dress attire, alcohol and drugs consumption has on the community. Most young ppl want to be like them
Most young people are not doing those things, this is only what the media wants you to think.
seems like a self cleaning oven to me. win-win.
Exactly.... No one is making us shoot each other at this point. It literally keeps our collective IQ down given one has to constantly be on the alert as opposed to just focusing on on the books like other folks can do
They will attack Stephen A Smith for this take…
That's their business if they do they are clearly part of the big issue blacks are facing.
It all starts in the home. Black fathers are absent at an alarming rate and the children are growing up with no respect for anyone or anything. If the home dynamic was better in the black community most of these problems would be solved.
I agree. Men raised by single mothers tend to use emotion to drive them rather than intelligence.
States with the strongest gun laws are the highest crime rates…🤷🏽♂️
Steven A. Once again you’ve spoken the controversial truth and holding accountability on all fronts, that’s called a standard that many move the line, depending on who it is. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
You spot on. I would like to see Rev Al Sharpton those now add those voices to his cry . Also Ben Crump those.
A rule i go by - do not ever bring one home. LOL
??
@@David-mu8pg them Democrats went by the one-drop-rule. And they be correct.
FYI guns are not a problem. I’m in a state with very low crime and very loose gun laws. I believe criminals think twice when everyone has a gun 🤷♂️. The cities with tight gun restrictions are the ones falling apart. Just my observation.
That’s just the truth
Statically and objectively
The problem with SAS n b are their so tribal
Just bc people look like u died t mean shit
Imagine cities where everyone was carrying…. Jumpy people, awkward movement in pockets. You really don’t understand the concept of a city without strong gun control. Humans are very flawed beings… they shouldn’t be trusted too much. Cities would be legit free for all, cops would be useless 😂 Sanctions make it very difficult for a reason, that’s why the only way to deter it is to make it illegal and hard to get. Shootings are usually targeted in inner cities.
I heard this amazing quote but I’m not sure where it’s from but I’m paraphrasing this: “If you can’t maintain order in your own household, then you don’t have the right to blame others for your shortcomings”
Thank you Stephen A Smith for using your platform to speak on this.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 we need to speak up about this more often. These street gangs is destroying the black community in high numbers. We need to change!!
Only one that can defend against the street gangs is the people in the community defend the neighborhood for the good and the better future for the youth
I’ve lost most of my friends and family because I’m been saying this for years! Thank you
How about the babies rights who has their back?
While few people realize that murder and non-negligent manslaughter rate has been higher in Louisiana than any other state every year from 1989-2022, even fewer people realize that black on black murders have made up a larger percentage of all murders in Louisiana than in any other state nearly every year from 1989-2022.
Tone was totally different when you found out about the Transgender mass shootings! Never here you say "white on white" "asian on asian" mexican on mexican" crime! Quick to use they're term for black ppl tho!
I think the latter commits more, just a guess
Who does the most tho?
The laws are not strict enough, if you kill somebody you should stay in jail for at least minimum 25 years
Bottom Line information!
Keep up the good work.
Stephen A. Smith 👏🏽!
Sad thing is now and days no one wants to invest in these bad dangerous communities to help uplift these kids and teenagers from becoming a criminal. #Sad#Truth
Now and day? When did they ever invest in Black American communities? 🤦🏿♂️
That's why Walmart pulled out of some areas in Chicago. There was too much theft and crime.
what are the upper-class neighborhoods along with law enforcement and the politicians in those neighborhoods say: "well, it ain't happening in my area so why should I care?"...
@@aroperdope that’s definitely a thoughtless process, but how can we expect them to care, invest and consider. When a large percentage of us conduct ourselves in a way that we don’t care, invest or consider. It starts with us first before we can impose accountability on others.
Various Govts pump billions into anti-poverty programs across the country. Either the money isn't going where it's needed or the programs don't work. But at the end of the day if people don't want to help themselves what can anybody else do?
Criminals will criminal
One of the most intelligent and reasoned pieces of journalism , I have heard on this subject. Well done!!
Speaking truth!! Much respect to SAS
Iit all starts with sex, unwanted pregancies, fathers who abandon partners and unwanted babies from free sex. Stop sex without rules!!
Agreed
Love your honesty & back bone to say what needs to be said
Problem is you want to be gangsters and victims at the same time.

Stephen A Smith, this podcast is seriously one of if not THEE best up and coming podcasts on the internet. Just absolutely fantastic content here. Cheers.
Thank you for sharing the truth SAS. Where is BLM for this? The mainstream media hardly ever talks about this. Happy to hear the REAL SAS on this channel!
Chicago definitely needs to vote better!!!!
As a black man i needed to hear this not because im in the streets i needed this for the fellowship, of like minded people something else were hurting for in the community
THIS IS HOW PLATFORMS SHOULD BE USED!!
Where’s BLM?
Stephen A, take a look at the overall white culture vs the inner city black culture! It’s pretty clear that you guys might want to take a look at how we do things, and how we raise our children versus the way you do it.
So black men what are we gonna do??????
Thank you Steven A this is 💯 on point.
Thanks for speaking facts. It's a culture thing and starts at the home.
Yea Stephen, this the blk brother we need to hear n our blk community need to hear this also...

Hey Stephen A been a big fan of yours I hope you keep talking about the issues in the black community you are a leader.
Powerful video Stephen A. Calling it how it is. Respect Brother 🙏🏼
He always tells it like it is! Love Mr. Smuth
Period!!! Stephen. Whos pulling the trigger. Its parenting.
The solution is returning to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The world keeps thinking of other ways to solve it, but God gave the answer.
No lies detected! Let's continue to pay attention and speak on these things! I'm here for it.
The reason i am a fan of this man. The reason i always listen to him programs or even segments. He draws me in, and hea passionate about the right things lifewise. I may not agree with him (about the Steelers and Yankees and Lakers his faves) but topics like this, he speaks facts.. hard cold facts.. thank you Stephen A. Somebody had to say it.
On the real i just had an altercation with a young brother who insisted on fighting over something that never happened. No amount logic got through to him. He kept saying he was gonna shoot me over literally nothing. He had no idea of who was around him or the fire power i got and i kept thinking wtf is wrong with this guy, why do he think he gonna come out on top and risking his life like this.
The more i tried to bow out gracefully and save our lives he got louder and madder, luckily his girl stepped in.
Some of these mfs need to be in prison, imo, and that dude was on his way there or to an early grave.

I've heard Stephen A Smith speak about this on First Take as well. He gets a bad rap but he speaks a truth. Bottom line...anyone with eyes can see, too many Black people seem to embrace being violent and criminal. Rooting for the bad guy over the good guy. Criminal get shot and killed by a white police officers we out there marching while yelling through a megaphone, but sit in no snitch mode when Pookie did it. We gotta decide where do really stand as a people. We got waaaaay too many F ups in our race.
We need Stephen a like this on his own podcast 🗣️ he can’t speak like this on ESPN. Put this on a loudspeaker 📢
Beautifully said. Music influences youth as well.
🫡🫡🫡 nothing but respect to you sir
Talk that talk Stephen A. I appreciate you and you utilizing your platform to say what is being ignored. ✊️
real words from a real brother! our ppl are destroying ourselves.
I’m a retired license social worker and this victim blaming is nothing new. People always cite the FBI statistics that 91% black homicide is committed by blacks, but never cite the statistics that 81% of white homicide is committed by whites and that the common theme for both race is poverty. Let us not blame the impoverished for poverty because poverty is a created phenomenon in a capitalist society. When our federal, state and local governments set wages below a living wage, your government is creating poverty. Then our government tax the middle class to pay for anti poverty programs and then politicians complain about ending poverty programs that in reality they will not end because they will not require corporate America to pay a living wage as long as they got the middle class subsidized and low wage workers. You gave a corporate response SA.
Speaking facts 💪🏾
Damn this brother is speaking the gospel.
