CBS’s Costa Asks Stephen A. if He’s Worried About Racism if He Ran for President

EXCERPT:

SMITH: “No. I know it exists. I know that you can’t escape it, but I do not believe it is as prevalent as some on the left would like us to believe. I do believe a vast majority of Americans judge you on the content of your individual character, rather than the color of your skin. I think a lot of people in America, especially in this day and age, now more so than ever before, it’s not about race. It’s about the fact that they don’t give a damn about it, because they got their own problems. That’s entirely different than believing they are superior to you and they want to hold you back from ascending. That’s not what’s going on to the degree that it was decades ago. What’s going on now is that we have more white Americans and others suffering and worried about the state of our nation. And because they’re concerned about that, that’s where their worries lie.”
