This week, the fellas kick things off with a conversation about Black-owned businesses, Black consumer support and what we actually expect from businesses that market directly to our community. That leads us into the controversy surrounding Earn Your Leisure co-founder Rashad Bilal and his viral Invest Fest comments, the backlash that followed and his response to the criticism. From there, we get into Stephen A. Smith vs. the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) after the organization gave him its “Thumbs Down” award over what it described as a pattern of disrespect toward Black women in media, sports and politics — and Stephen A. firing back at the organization. We also break down the wild Penn State fraternity cocaine-trafficking investigation, where 14 people have been charged in an alleged drug operation connected to two fraternity houses, and the bizarre story out of Philadelphia involving a man in a Chucky-style mask accused of chasing, threatening and terrorizing people near City Hall. All that plus more trending news, culture, debates and unfiltered conversation on this week's episode. for more,

The Stephen A. Smith vs. NABJ controversy is far from over — and now the conversation is getting even bigger.After the National Association of Black Journalists gave Stephen A. Smith its “Thumbs Down” recognition and criticized his commentary about prominent Black women, Stephen A. fired back strongly, calling the accusations against him a “flat out lie.” But instead of the controversy dying down, the debate has continued across the media.Tonight on The Arrington Gavin Show, we revisit the growing feud and examine the arguments being made on both sides. With Stephen A. discussing the controversy in appearances with Chris Cuomo and Sean Hannity, has this become something larger than a disagreement between one commentator and NABJ?We're asking the tough questions: Is NABJ justified in its criticism of Stephen A.? Is Stephen A. being unfairly characterized for criticizing prominent Black women? Is there a difference between tough political commentary and disrespect? And has this feud now become more about media, race, gender and politics than the original award itself?

On this episode of **Habari Live**, Damon and Iesha challenge one of the most persistent stereotypes in America: the myth of the “absent Black father.”We break down federal CDC/NCHS research on father involvement and examine what the data actually found about Black fathers—from feeding, bathing, and dressing young children to helping with homework, sharing meals, and staying involved even when living outside the child's home. We also discuss how marriage statistics, household structure, media portrayals, economic inequality and mass incarceration have helped shape the public perception of Black fatherhood.Then we turn to **Stephen A. Smith vs. the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ)**. After NABJ gave Smith its 2026 “Thumbs Down” award over what it described as a pattern of disparaging commentary toward prominent Black women, Stephen A. fired back, calling the decision a “personal hit job.” We examine the controversy involving Jasmine Crockett, Joy Reid, Serena Williams and others—and ask where legitimate criticism ends and harmful stereotyping begins.**THE BLACK FATHER MYTH EXPOSED: The Data Tells a Different Story + Stephen A.

Rob and Kelvin discuss the NABJs’ controversial decision to give Stephen A Smith the Thumbs Down award over the weekend, debate whether it’s fair to say that Jerry Jones has been a horrible general manager for the Dallas Cowboys, and argue whether Nikola Jokic’s reign in the NBA would have been underwhelming if he never wins another championship.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The sports and media world erupted when the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) handed ESPN star Stephen A. Smith its annual "Thumbs Down" award during its convention in Atlanta. Citing what the organization termed a "recurring public pattern of disparaging commentary directed at prominent Black women" across politics, sports, and media, the award ignited a massive public debate over accountability, journalism, and free speech. In this episode, we break down the explosive clash between one of media's most powerful voices and the nation's premier organization for Black journalists. We examine the specific comments that led to the NABJ's decision—including Smith's public spats with figures like Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and other high-profile public figures—and analyze Smith's fiery, unfiltered response. From his viral social media pushback to his appearance on Fox News to call the award a "flat-out lie" and a "hit job," Smith made it clear he would not take the criticism quietly. Whether you are a media insider tracking the boundaries of sports and political commentary, a regular listener of First Take, or someone interested in the evolving standards of public accountability, this episode provides a balanced look at both sides of the controversy. We explore:The NABJ's Stance: Why organization leadership felt compelled to issue the award and how they define responsible media portrayals. Stephen A. Smith's Defense: Breaking down his argument that his commentary constitutes policy disagreements rather than personal attacks. The Broader Media Reaction: How peers, commentators, and public figures are reacting to the feud and what it means for high-profile pundits.The Culture of Accountability: Exploring the tension between massive media platforms and institutional critique.We cut through the noise to deliver a thorough, objective breakdown of a story defining the current media landscape.Stay informed on the biggest media debates.

The gang talks about the TV show Cocktail Wars, children safe spaces, and college; is it a Thumbs up or a Thumbs Down?

This is what I get for taking a month off because SO much has happened, and it's been nothing but twists and turns. We're talking Suffolk University letting students co-major in AI, ASU launching a degree for aspiring influencers while the U.S. loses 23,000 jobs, YouTube making it harder to get paid, and the latest mess surrounding Jools Lebron. We also have to talk about what's happening to Haitians as TPS ends, the questions surrounding Nolan Wells' death, Trump administration drama, NABJ handing out its Thumbs Down awards, Invest Fest backlash, Luigi Mangione, Flock cameras and the conversation around progressives and Black voters. Then somehow the billionaires went shopping for the Lakers and EA, FIFA switched things up, and pop culture gave us even MORE to discuss. Grab your drink because clearly, we have completely lost the plot. IG: Itswista IG/YouTube/Substack: wordswithwista

Black on Black Cinema breaks down the National Association of Black Journalists giving Stephen A. Smith its "Thumbs Down" award, reserved for commentary the organization considers especially insensitive, stereotypical, or at odds with NABJ's mission around fair representation of the Black community. NABJ's statement specifically cited Smith's recurring pattern of disparaging commentary toward prominent Black women across politics, sports, and media, saying it reinforces harmful narratives and undermines fair, respectful representation.We agree with NABJ here, and we break down exactly why. Smith has spent years building a media empire on saying whatever gets a reaction, and his commentary toward Black women specifically has followed a consistent, well documented pattern that deserves scrutiny; not just from critics online, but from an organization built to hold Black media figures accountable to Black communities. Smith's response was predictably combative, essentially promising retaliation on his platform. He even ran to Fox News' Sean Hannity to make his thoughts known. A curious platform if he is trying to reach Black people...hmmm. We discuss why that reaction proves NABJ's point more than it disproves it, what accountability from within the profession actually looks like, and why Smith's expanding political platform makes this moment even more significant.We also announce the next film to be reviewed which is the 1989 film "Chameleon Street" which follows a social chameleon who impersonates reporters, doctors and lawyers in order to make money. (Film is available to watch on Tubi for free).Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

Stephen A. Smith is firing back — and he's not holding back.The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) recently gave Stephen A. Smith its “Thumbs Down” recognition, criticizing what the organization described as a pattern of disparaging commentary toward prominent Black women. Stephen A. strongly rejected that characterization, calling the accusation a “flat out lie.”Tonight on The Arrington Gavin Show, we break down the controversy and ask the bigger questions: Has Stephen A. Smith crossed the line with his criticism of Black women, or is he being unfairly attacked for simply giving his opinions? Is there a difference between criticizing public figures like Kamala Harris and Michelle Obama and disrespecting Black women as a whole? And should Black commentators be expected to approach criticism of Black public figures differently?Plus, we'll examine whether NABJ's criticism was justified — or whether the organization may have gone too far.

Stephen A. Smith took a beating from the National Association of Black Journalists — a "thumbs down" that landed less like disapproval and more like a middle finger.

Hour 3 1:12 - Should Stephen A. Smith Have Taken the NABJ Criticism Differently? 27:54 - Calls on Stephen A. Smith Receiving ‘Thumbs Down' Award

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicked off the week with a mix of breaking news, celebrity headlines, and cultural conversation. The team discussed the devastating flooding in Indiana, where more than 11 inches of rain triggered historic flooding, forced hundreds of rescues and evacuations, and left at least seven people dead as recovery efforts continue across the state. The conversation then shifted to Keke Palmer, whose latest comments encouraged women to focus less on a man’s bank account and more on his character, work ethic, and emotional maturity. Palmer specifically praised blue-collar professionals like mechanics and firefighters, reigniting a broader social media debate about modern dating standards and what truly makes a partner “high value.” The entertainment buzz continued with growing reactions to Stephen A. Smith receiving the National Association of Black Journalists’ 2026 “Thumbs Down” Award. NABJ cited what it described as a recurring pattern of disparaging commentary about prominent Black women in politics, sports, and media, a move that has sparked strong reactions across journalism and social media circles. Meanwhile, Usher shared an emotional milestone as his oldest son, Cinco, officially enrolled at Howard University. The proud father celebrated the achievement with a heartfelt message, joining a growing trend of celebrity children choosing HBCUs for their college experience. The show also highlighted Clarissa Shields reclaiming championship gold in the boxing ring, celebrity boxing antics featuring Ray J, and the latest entertainment news from Atlanta and beyond.
