Summary

Leave it to Stephen A. Smith of ESPN to bring race into the recent dismissal of ESPN employees. Smith talked about the firings on his podcast and even said he could be next. He also said "I told you before when white folks catch a cold, black folks catch pneumonia". Here's what I do know, Smith makes $12 million a year and is exhibit A (no pun intended) of double standards in America. Name me one media personality that has more "privilege" than Smith? Again, please stop making everything about race! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
