[…] Anyone who has followed Steve Harvey’s comedy and career should have put this to bed a long time ago. However, for those who can’t seem to see the forest for the trees, let’s break this down. On a recent Steve Harvey Show, a woman by-passer (who happened to be white) outdoors, was approached by a field reporter of the Steve Harvey Show during a segment where people get to ask Harvey for advice. The woman explained that she was not a history buff, and felt uncomfortable and insecure when engaged in conversations with those who are very knowledgeable about history. As you will see in the video, Harvey jokingly replied not once, not twice, but three times, that when he is in her position, where he doesn’t know what the historians are talking about, he likes to respond by saying, “I don’t care for slavery“, and then walks away. Funny enough, so far. He stretched the joke out by saying that regardless of the topic, “I don’t give a damn if its….prohibition…Columbus… I don’t give a damn…about whatever they’re talking about….” The joke is easy to get. The criticism is targeted to the joke’s finale, where he stated, ” I don’t give a damn about…whatever it is they’re talking about…I don’t give a damn …..about slavery.” This is a statement that Ciivilrightsagenda.com certainly doesn’t agree with, for the very mission of our advocacy is dedicated to the equality and justice for ALL. At the same time, people should not believe for one minute that Steve Harvey doesn’t give a damn about slavery! As a follower of Steve Harvey for many years, I have witnessed his passion about civil rights, human rights, and empowering people….particularly of color. Harvey has featured numerous experts on his myriad of platforms, to discuss the horrors and consequential institutional racism which is still clearly obvious, resulting directly from slavery. Harvey made a slip. Anyone who follows Steve Harvey should know this. To throw Steve under the bus for a mis-speak is petty and wrong. Try researching all of the good things that Steve Harvey has done over the course of his career. After doing this, see if you still honestly believe that Steve doesn’t give a damn.
