You know, Stephen A. Smith is not out there screaming like a conservative, but he takes a moderate point of view and he's calling things out that he doesn't like.

And there are some that do it, but suddenly they call you names.

Oh, you're betraying us or you're going the other way.

They're expected to stay in lockstep, in lockstep voting for people that pander to you like this, in lockstep to a guy that comes in there.

You have to remember Obama did it, too.

Because Obama didn't have street cred with the African Americans in America.

When he would come and give speeches, he didn't have the cred.

And if you look at some of these speeches, he started dropping his R's and talking with that.

Yeah.

Talking with this tone and everything.

You know, I'm one of y'all and down.

And it's like it's just pandering.

It's absolute pandering.

And they're waking up.

The voters are waking up.

There are African-Americans that are waking up.

They're thinking for themselves that are saying, listen, I will not be automatically assumed to be your voting bloc.

I'm there.

And we've seen it moving election by election.

And I hope that the numbers are screaming.
