I Was Blindsided by NABJ - Now I’m Responding

Tue, 18 Aug 2026 01:33:15 +0000

Stephen A. addresses the National Association of Black Journalists after receiving its “Thumbs Down” award and he has plenty to say.

In this special edition of *Straight Shooter*, Stephen A. responds directly to the NABJ board members behind the decision, challenges the accusation that he has “disparaged Black women,” and demands to see the facts supporting that claim.

He reflects on his decades-long relationship with the NABJ, from attending its job fair early in his career to bringing First Take to the organization’s convention, mentoring aspiring journalists, supporting Black professionals throughout the industry and continuing to create opportunities through his own media company.

Stephen A. also addresses his past commentary involving Jasmine Crockett, Michelle Obama, Kamala Harris and Serena Williams, arguing there is a major distinction between criticizing or questioning someone and disparaging them.

But the conversation goes even deeper.

Stephen A. argues that the controversy has become political, questions whether his willingness to criticize Democrats and liberals played a role in the decision, and explains why he believes the award amounted to a personal “smear job” rather than an objective journalistic critique.

Stephen A. makes one thing clear: he still supports the mission of the NABJ, its Sports Task Force and the aspiring Black journalists the organization serves.

Republican vs. Democrat: Who Failed Black America?

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 05:45:55 +0000

Stephen A. Smith hosts a powerful and passionate debate between Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and conservative commentator Anton Daniels on one of the most important questions facing America today: Who has truly failed Black America?

From jobs, education, crime, immigration, family structure, and political accountability to the role of Democrats and Republicans in shaping Black communities, this conversation pulls no punches. Anton Daniels argues that personal responsibility and accountability are the keys to success, while Tharon Johnson contends that leadership, policy, and investment in communities remain critical to improving outcomes.

The result is an intense, thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional wisdom from both sides of the political aisle.

Do Democrats deserve credit for Black progress?
Have Republicans offered better solutions?
Is the biggest problem government policy or personal responsibility?

Watch the full debate and decide for yourself.
