What is your reaction to the banner in Boston?
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED ohh look another episode about racism time for me not to watch
Unlike whites. i love truth so i have no problem with it!
Dark Star Transmissions unlike blacks i actually work for money and don't live off of welfare and know my father
white man didn't like that
Dark Star Transmissions I am white and I support the banner. Don't generalize all white people please.
anyone who is shocked that theres racism in America would be shocked that there's sand at the beach too.
I don't like sand.
-Anikan Skywalker
Humphking From my point of view the racists are evil
Is there Racism in strictly America or does racism exist in every single country in the world? Can you answer this question?
😂💯
xHito Music what does is matter ? I hate white people like you
As a white man who has seen a lot in my 35 years, it sickens me that people are teaching and practicing racism as though it's principles and morals. Regardless of living in America or any where else, it's 2017 and we as human beings have accomplished so many things in our sort time here on earth. We share the same values, we go to work, we pay our bills, many practice and share in their faith, we watch sports, go to the movies, and yet one of the things we haven't done, is rid ourselves and this planet of racism.
It shouldn't take an Olympic athlete holding his fist in the air, a man giving a speech on his dream, a quarterback taking a knee, to bring awareness to what's so obvious, a stain that's in the fabric of our nation and needs to be removed. Hate is not acceptable and it shouldn't be ignored. I hope but fear that before I am gone, we will still find ourselves living in a world that harbors racism. Respect, honor, trust, and love is the best way. PEACE ✌
Sammy Sam "Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal".- John F. Kennedy
You should see these people teaching their 7 years old kids being racist
Talk to them that's your peps right
Sammy Sam Amen to that!!!
Sammy Sam Well said !!!
As a black man, I'm starting to even ask myself what do we want or expect white people to do???? Of course racism exists in American and throughout the world, but now what?. Even if white folks acknowledge that racism exists, how does that change or improve the lives of black people? It's time for us to stop expecting love and sympathy from others. We would be better off if we pretended that white people didn't exist. Let's stop letting them preoccupy our minds with their bs! Let's get our own selves together and compete like everyone else does. There are opportunities here in America for us to better our own condition whether white people or others like us or not! We must turn away from racism and focus on building up ourselves economically! It's time.
Any One It called taking the easy way out, brother.
Any One the first step to solving a problem and recognizing it exist, denial of its existence is a classic way to never face it fix ones problems. I.e. I don't have a drug problem I can quit whenever I like...
Any One you have you ever heard of institutional racism? You quit confronting racism institutional racism will never disappear. That's the problem it controls the economics of our communities. When you say that we are not building Economic Institutions that's not true we are
Funny how the term "institutional racism" is thrown around so liberally. Are you referring to the education institute, where blacks are put ahead of whites because of affirmative action? Or the institute of government and civil service where affirmative action is implemented in the hiring process? Or simply put, the institution, where those who break the law and abscond to criminality put themselves. It takes a village to confuse the individual. That is, until the individual chooses individuality. Nobody else is going to wake up for that alarm clock.
thecrystalshipful affirmative action doesn't work that way that would be unconstitutional man Kennedy implemented affirmative action in USA Google it before you start writing nonsense that you heard someone tell you. Use your resources people
I had to watch the whole thing before commenting.. I agree with Skip I thought they were promoting it as well
Yeah I was confused with the banner at first myself
Khenny G same here.
Agreed
Do you get it now? does it make sense now?
Y’all need a new brain Smh
The one time I agree with Skip. The statement should've been more clear.
Nicholas Almonte the statement made perfect sense to me. Racism is part of American tradition and legacy just like racism
Joshua Martinez but it isn't American tradition.. racism is something that has been a large part of the entire world. Also, majority of Americans know racism exists and they do not support it.
Joshua Martinez
Yes but do they support that tradition? That's the part that's not clear
Garrett Luttman sounds like excuses to me
Garrett Luttman not saying anything supports racism as well.
Problem is, racism will never go away because racism stems from ignorance, and there will always be ignorant people. And let's also not act like racism is only a 1 way street, there are black racist, white, Mexican and although I've never met one I'm sure there are Asian racist people.
Unless you can get rid of all the ignorance in the world then you can never get rid of racism.
No, racism will never go away because it's natural! People naturally identify with their tribe/nationality/race, that's just what they do. The actual dumb people are the leftists who think you can somehow eradicate human behavior which is impossible.
Swag Buffalo racism isn't identifying or preferring the company of your own tribe/nationality or race, it's demeaning another tribe/nationality or race and believe they are below you because of that very thing, violence towards them because they aren't identical to you.
Racism isn't human nature if it was there wouldn't be anyone who wasn't racist. Do you ever see a vegetarian lion? No because that's their nature.
if you don't understand Mandarin, you won't know if they are or not... I have heard from many Ex-Pats that live in China, they have a certain preference...
TPChris that's ridiculous. You can't compare human behavior to other animal behavior. I don't think racism in human nature either but not trusting people who don't look like you or come from where you do is. That's how we've had to survive most of our history. But most (I hope) of us are smarter than that. It's in the nature of all animals to reproduce but millions choose not to every day
Swag Buffalo written like a true racist lmao
*edit:* Idk if you're in the position to be racist, but you're more than likely prejudice.
I finally agreed with skip😂
racism does exist but it’s not limited to just one particular race.
Larenzo Brand it’s not talked about enough
Black people cannot be racist!!!!
@@ImmHer0 it's not talked about enough because that's not true.
Lorenzo, there's a difference between racism and reacting to racism. Racism started with one race, I believe. Generations that react to it, are only reacting to the vitriol of racism/hate. Call it racist, but that wouldn't make sense. Someone reacting to racism isn't racist. They're reacting to hate.
londunkx black people can be racist lol
Shannon: Now we cooking skip
Skip: you think so huh
Skip is very suspect
Walking the line.... that's what's meant by institutional racism. Its so engrained, it affects the way one thinks, acts, and rationalizes. If you are not careful, you'll think you are on one side of the argument, but your actions say differently! #Evolve
Itscool2beu
Skip: Let's get that on record.
He's a old white guy lol
Itscool2beU Skip is trying though. He's trying real hard.
Itscool2beU dont see how he love Michael Jordan who is a black man.
Are you guys accusing Skip of being a racist? Lmao.
Skip is right because I had no idea what message they were trying to send
Antoine Jackson I UNDERSTAND, BORN AND RAISED IN BOSTON 49 YEARS. CAUGHT THE TAIL END OF RACIAL BUSING RHETORIC. HAD TO DUCK WHILE RIDING ON SCHOOL BUS RIDE HOME. 1970'S TO 2017, SADLY RACISM STILL EXISTS.
RACISM IS A MENTAL ILLNESS.
~ JANE ELLOIT
TRUTH SEEKER it still exists and always will because you can't make everyone love one another someone will always be here to teach hate
That fact that we're talking about it is the message they were trying to send.
Nothing too complex, they are saying racism and America go hand in hand. If you live in America and are of a minority group, Mexican, Asians, Black Americans, Middle Easterners etc. You will definitely experience some form of Racist's encounters. Directly or indirectly.
Luis, the problem is it does nothing to solve it other than giving a blanket statement covering everyone. You're comment seems to say to me, doesn't matter what I do, doesn't matter how much I give, or anything, because of my skin color, I'm racist. If that's the attitude, why should I try. Why should I care anymore what you think. All you'll do is call me racist simply because of my skin color. That's the message I get. If that's not the message, then perhaps, you should look at getting your message out another way instead of a blanket statement which does more harm than good.
Shannon, we all love chicken 🤣🤣🤣
Got to admit I thought the same thing as skip when I first saw the banner
@Panshi Pants no, racism isn't a big deal anymore
Panshi Pants Racism ain’t around, wanna talk about all the race baiting hoaxes though? Lmao
Brian Byrnes it’s pretty stupid to say racism doesn’t exist anymore. It will likely always exist. Humans discriminate, and others take it really far, to a disgusting level.
Nevio Racism ain’t around. Race baiters are tho
What about when Donald Sterling said what he said was that not racism
I applaud those brave protesters. It the truth people n the truth hurts I guess. As American as Apple pie.
The FPV Life apple pie is from the UK
The FPV Life
Tell me how that is true. You can't.
The FPV Life wait are u really acting like racism didnt exist in full force all around the world before america was even found.
So you want everything to be interrupted? Should we interrupt a kids soccer game next? Is that what you want?
That was a protest sign? I thought it was part of Boston's marketing campaign.
The first non Tom Brady subject Rob Parker has been in
I thought the same thing. I thought they was promoting it 😂🙈
Yeah I’m with Skip on this one... I thought it was a promotion
how about now? Do you get it now?
So they never talk about baseball......but when they do it's about racism.... like bruh .
We can almost say the same about Football too at this point. More focus on who kneels down during anthems than the actual games.
Lets be honest, baseball is a boring sport. Why bore people to death when you got football, basketball, and (recently) big fights.
junior salamanca don't watch then
Baseball and racism kinda goes hand and hand. No offense to baseball, respect the sport 💯
Bless Roons the sport that takes in tons of non Americans and lifts them from poverty based on their skill in a game. Doesn't matter from where. How is baseball racist
I'm with Skip. When I saw it, I thought they were saying, "Hey! Racism is fine. It's the American Way. Embrace it! Accept it!"
How can u get it twisted? Just the mere fact of the statement IS TELLING YOU RACISM EXISTING AND HERE'S THE EQUIVALENT OF IT! This is a prime example of how were yet divided, cause one sees one thing and the other sees another thing, yeah it could've been more direct, but you would have missed the great and telling message that that they clearly wanted u to see!
I laughed when I saw the banner on TV.
Yeah I definitely thought this sign was promoting racism. Thought it was weird the two black guys saying they liked it haha
DrRobertBischof it was but because of the way it was worded you can flip it to either side pro or anti racism 😂
DrRobertBischof how was it promoting it
How was this promoting racism?
DrRobertBischof those two black guys know racism is as american as baseball...they cheer the honesty...
its basically saying racism is ingrained in american society and it wont ever change
America is obsessed with Race. Jesus man. Can we all just like each other 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Make The Lakers great again I wish man, I really do
Make The Lakers great again ask the white people that
This Hiphop its black people too bruh. Nah just white... it's everyone
Make The Lakers great again Democrats*
Make The Lakers Great Again i wish but ig not
Why TF is Rob Parker able to even be on TV, dudes a clown
Oh that's E How???
Oh that's E Rob pretty good he holds his own he has good point of views
Agreed. He's always been a clown going against the grain on what everyone has to say or what they think. Ridiculous. Worse than Stephen A
He sucks and wouldnt be caught dead in boston. I would literally fight dude on sight if i saw him and would rock his jaw for being such a puppet. He made a career out of discrediting brady. Somebody needs to put they hands on him for brady
lawrence taylor watch out everyone we have a tough guy here
I got it as soon as I read it 🤷🏾♂️
What now? Who or what was racist this time?
luka 40090 feeling uncomfortable
Sure. I am not an american and I watch this show. I feel sad, when I see what USA has become. My comment wasn't meant to be racist... I was just trying to point out, that talking about racism on this and other similair shows all the time, doesn't help at all. In my opinion it just makes people hate each other more.
@@luka-kc8uh Talking about a problem does not cause more of the problem. That's a logical fallacy. African Americans dominate US Sports. What does it mean for fans to want to see them perform (dribble, run, swing, etc.) but care NOTHING about what these athletes themselves say is causing them and their communities so much pain unto death? That's called exploitation. We want you to perform for us like an animal but don't start trying to be all human on us by telling us how you feel. "Shut up and entertain us" is your message, is it not?
Wait a minute.. Shannon said Boston is what type of city lol
Yeah i kinda had that Skip thought a little bit too lol, but i love it
We are such a primitive specie. Constantly going around and around on the same topics always unable to have any kind of resolution. Pathetic.
Ben Alexander
Real sh!t.
Those in power intend that. It keeps them in power while the peasants squabble among themselves.
JL-CptAtom sayyyys who?? We weren't made. We are a pure product of evolution and to think otherwise is ignorant at this point. We have almost all of the puzzle pieces
Ben Alexander it really is.
Ben Alexander if we can't even agree about the problem how do we collectively come to a solution. ?
The irony in that. There's a reason why baseball is called "America's Past Time".I would like to thank the people who dropped that banner at Fenway. You totally clarified it lmao. Seriously.
I wonder if Curt Schilling thinks Adam Jones is lying now LOL
The fact that Skip thought it was possibly promoting racism, underscores the prevalence of racism to this day.
Shannons just upset he missed a fire sale on jordans down in Miami
Dan Jendo u got some?? Lol.
I agree with skip. I thought it was promoting racism at first and I was thinking why are people ok with this
I loved it also they should do this more often to show everyone how it really is and they should also be proud and show their names.
Where's Jason Whitlock when you need him 😂🤣😂
Shannon be speaking the truth I love it
He is either lying or ignorant.
@@colepriceguitar1153 he's not ignorant
@@brandonhardin2609 he is tho
Shannon 💪🏾✊🏾
any time i see sharpe, i am tuning in. him and skip are so real enthusiasts and passionate people and this is cool to be able to see. hate the topic, kind of really makes me sad, but i love truth and these guys bring truth. right or wrong, they say what they feel and it's real.
If rob parker was in the thumbnail i most definitely wouldn't have clicked this video
I guess Skip didn't know the quote was based on H. Rap Brown's quote: “Violence is as American as Cherry Pie.”
Skip was very correct. That was more of an indictment against America rather than racism. If you want to come against Racism, you needed to be more clear!
when I saw this I thought the same thing skip did.. lol Yea it should had been made more clear what they were saying..
This aged well. Great job young people.
Agree with skip... when I first saw it I thought it was promoting racism
Still sparks the discussion... MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!
That's where the Boston tea party started at
Wow! Thx Skip! I hadn’t seen it that way! ~ Mister Walter
This is true. From days of slavery, to Jim crow laws days ( segregation), to now racism has been around in American longer thwn baseball has beeb around.
Okay... could have had a banner that said “domestic violence is bad”, Stating the obvious isn’t a protest. Everyone knows racism is going on, but not just in America, the world. I feel the people with the banner just wanted a reaction from people who were just watching baseball. Couldn’t they find a more productive way to combat racism then that banner?
I think you're missing the point.
3 years later and I bet you still haven’t got the point
shannon sharpe just got me to want to try some seabass. literally i've never ate it before
I understand what Shannon is saying about acknowledgment. I don't keep up with baseball, so this is the first time I saw or heard of this. Now what I'd like to see is at an NBA basketball game, a few black people unfurl a banner that says racism goes both ways. To Shannon's point it would serve as open recognition of the truth, to Skip's it could also be a form of protest...
Shannon need to go to ESPN
Shannon is too real for ESPN. People already complain about Jemele Hill & Michael Smith for talking about societal issues in sports. Shannon will have those closet racists ready to tear down the network after his 1st week lol
Maybe they should talk about sports instead of political issues? Anyone?
626kynetik
Nope
Dallas Cowboys Lady Fan 1984 no he doesn't
trha2222 lol you're joking right?
It definitely wen over my head, I had the EXACT same thoughts as skip.
do you now get it?
Disgusting
I thought I was the only one that seen it that way I felt the same way skip did especially it being in that stadium
Glad Skip can call out a dog whisper when he see one. Stay woke 😂😂
Given the history of that city I honestly thought that was promoting racism as well. I'm glad it wasn't! Once I understood it, it made total sense 😁
Skip just exuded greatness 💪🏿💪🏿
I knew I wasn't the only one that could see people interpreting that banner in another way.
They always nail it on these issues
I can't believe i'm about to say this, but i agree with skip
Wait is that my love Joy Taylor
I still can't my head around that baseball was not integrated till 47 .
Skip is real deal hilarious
Damn I thought skip was bout to go right on this one.
Lol "I like broccoli ". Shannon a fool, good to see a brother representing
I just want to be an American, as one 7-year-old black kid told me. Now please let that soak in? As MLK said, "we'll either live together as brothers or die together as fools."
They hit the nail on the head good job
I'm with Skip on this one...when I first saw I thought dam they getting too bold with it.
You must also love trump
Oh my god, Skip made sense. Everyone prepare for the apocalypse!
I'm black and I have no problem with the banner, it's the truth. I don't think they hit a home run, more like a triple. I agree with Skip on this one, the message could have been stronger. Some people will be closed minded enough to not understand the meaning and some ignorant people will try to twist the words around like a politician. I get and agree with the message, I just wished it could have been more assertive.
Anyone who wants too buy a ticket can go to a baseball game in Boston .
That’s definitely true. Just like baseball, racism is dying. Lol
Clive Muka lol agreed.
Trump and his supporters need to die too
Cincy 513 nah we still here😁
@@willt7920 nah. For another year
racism will end when people stop talking about it. morgan freemon
That approach doesn't work. Try this: "Racism will end when people stop PRACTICING it". Sounds much better, NO?!?!?!
That's ignorant
I also took it as promoting racism and agree with Skip on that point. I had no idea it was actually from protestors.
Sign had me fooled for a minute. Honestly thought the banner promoted racism. The wording and how it was phrased was a bit confusing. For all the criticism Skip gets from time to time, so deservedly and some not, he's right on this one.
But why should we expect anything different? 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️.
Nas: best lyricist of all time
Eminem: most talented hip-hop artist

White people love Acting like Em is top 5............ that's like me acting like Michael Vick was actually one of the all time great QBs. No, he was just highly entertaining
I need this shirt ASAP
I LOVE ME SOME SEAABASS 💀💀💀💀
Damn it, give me sports
The Boston chapter of antifa, a group of violent anarchists and Communists, is taking credit for the banner. The silly, angry horse sounds even more ridiculous than usual.
Blocking the highway is not a protest it's very dangerous
I had the same first thought as skip I thought they were promoting it at first
What else do you expect from a city that includes the Celtikkks?

I think Skip missed the mark. The banner is basically saying racism is the root, the fabric of Amerikkka. This country was built on racism, literally founded on racism. It's as American as apple pie, baseball, football, the NFL and anything else Amerikkka prides itself on. They're proud of those other things, racism is just the part they choose not to acknowledge. In no way, to me, does that sign seem to imply support of racism. It looks to me like a criticism of Amerikkka and its racist roots, culture, and history.
badgyrl310, this country was also founded on genocide. Native Americans could speak on that.
badgyrl310 how are we supposed to change our history? And last time I checked other countries history have been pretty bad as well. Just ask communist Russia or the UK
Well said.
badgyrl310 exactly. thank you love..
Joaquin, That's the problem. America fights hard every day to change history and it should not be changed. It should be acknowledged, not swept under the rug, altered, or downplayed, and the facts should be recognized, not twisted and sold as lies.
listen as a White Man im am disgusted with Racism and believes it should end NOW!!!!!
Horse head sees racism when he buys milk.
You cannot get rid of racism. You have to improve the tolerance level of individuals. Right now this is only a "pat myself on the back" feel good movement. All this is really doing is creating more animosity in our country. Taking down Southern monuments and kneeling during the National Anthem does nothing to change the mind of anyone. What we need is Respect of others races, sexes, religions and beliefs. We dont have to agree with them but why should we have negative thoughts about it. Much less act out against someone who believes or lives differently from us. Right now everyone is under attack. Stop trying to fix a occurrence (racism) and start teaching everyone to live their own life and let others live the way they want. Racism will only stop when only one person is left alive. That seems like a drastic ending.
That's your rebuttal Skip????....…😒.....Hold this "L" my dude. Sign was phenomenal, message perfectly clear.
Yes racism is ALL over the country. And it starts with you Shannon
Kudos to those people because they really didn't have to do it
Message was very clear.
Stay woke
Stay educated
Cornell Clark Y'all hate statistics and bringing up problems in Black community but we gotta keep it real. Nothing changing if we don't clean up the streets and promote fatherhood again.
Cornell Clark Why don't you educate yourself on black crime statistics. That'll answer any questions you may have.

I hate the molly looks at shannon .. watch the snakes in your backyard shannon
Lester Fortuna hmm.
That's not molly wrong show
When you are not racist and not exposed to much racism in your personal life but you know there is a ton out there this banner could be read as: "racism is ok in America".
So making an anti racism banner is ejection worthy now? Wow, warped moral universe.
I used to like Shannon before all he ever talks about is the racists lurking in the ether. I've lost all respect for him and his identity politics.
So You liked this black man before he started talking about the racism in America. Yeahh what does that make you?
Skip's initial response to the banner is PERFECT because it illustrates the divide between Black and White towards the REALITY of racism. Shannon and Rob got it immediately.........
that's because Shannon and rob are obsessed they cant go one show without talking about race skip probably just dosnt care or see race as an issue at all. come to think of it why is Shannon so obsessed about race, he is a successful black man that's race has never held him back ever. shouldn't that prove to himself that if you work hard and try to be good at whatever your passionate about you can succeed?
Claude Williams... and black people get a easier time because they're black!
The Guy With Common Sense
Lmao FALSE!
vej 48 I'm black and I thought it was promoting racism 🤷🏽♂️
The Guy With Common Sense
You have be an idiot to think that black people have an "easier time" than white people.
I assume your referring to "affirmative action", which btw, has benefited *white women* more than it has helped blacks.
Me in economics class: What does America mass produce?
Friend in economics class: racism.
Me “Laughs” ... Thinks about every country I’ve ever been to and how little to no racism exists there ... Funny but sad.
Hold this "L" Skip...because whether you took it as promoting Racism or for what it was it still brought attention to the topic.
Shannon "Everyone on the planet is racist except me" Sharpe.
Shannon is such a racist.
