Steve Harvey has been labelled a sell-out and a “lowly coon” by critics who detest his suggestion that black entertainers should prioritise money over integrity when handling business.
This, a suggestion he offered the beloved actress Mo’Nique when she made her way to his successful talk show to discuss the inequality she faces as an Oscar-winning black woman in Hollywood.
Watch their conversation here.
Steve Harvey is such a coon it’s embarrassing

The family man issued this statement today:
I’ve got to slow down when I’m talking. I can’t get into heated discussions, and I’ve got to just guard my words more carefully.
I take full responsibility for it, it came out my mouth, so I can’t say that I didn’t say it. But to people that really know me, I have lived my whole life as a man of integrity. So when I was referring to ‘integrity’ in that interview, I was talking about the method in which things were being done, and that is all it was. I never questioned anybody’s principles or anybody’s causes. I was merely questioning, for the 50-minute interview, the method that she chose going about doing it — and I regret that looking back at it now, because that was a bad choice of words.I have lived my whole life as a man of integrity, and I will stand on that, but I was really just talking about the method that they went about doing what they did, and that was it.
Alas, many members of the African-American community aren’t convinced.

Who are these young people that see Steve Harvey as a role model?

I’m still annoyed at how Steve Harvey was hollering at Monique like that, she didn’t deserve that at all and he should publicly apologize to her

Steve Harvey has been…..always been …..a sell out.

I suppose @IAmSteveHarvey @SteveHarveyFM seems to think because he is a $100 million dollar man, that himself, wife, kids, and grandkids are protected from the social ills of being black in America. Steve basically told @moworldwide that it is okay to sell-out.

So basically #SteveHarvey told #Monique to forget about integrity or standing up for your beliefs but just keep tap dancing & don’t do anything that can hurt your money smh and the sad part is he probably would’ve said that to @Kaepernick7 Muhammad Ali John Carlos & Tommie Smith pic.twitter.com/Smo2m2Hv4R

Not the Steve Harvey who sent a email to staff tellingn them not to talk to him.
Not the Steve Harvey who tried to get Bernie Mac fired becaus he wanted the part.
Not the Steve Harvey who left his wife when for eye candy
I’m shocked he would say that!— Wouldnt u like to know? (@AnthonyH_75) February 18, 2019
Y’all remember how jealous @IAmSteveHarvey was of Bernie Mac before he died because Bernie was getting all the movie roles then when Bernie passed Steve was all hurt because he didn’t apologize to Bernie

We are talking about the the same Steve Harvey that back stabbed his friend Bernie Mac! Steve Harvey that brought Paula Deen to his camp for black boys after her racist history was exposed. Mr. Harvey, who said forget slavery. Harvey that dogged his x-wife Mary. Yeah, ok.. pic.twitter.com/I8OZmhlMQZ

“Steve Harvey didn’t actually mean integrity when he said integrity, because he has integrity”. Lmao, basically. ?
I understood what Steve meant. He isn’t the most articulate so if cane off wrong. But I still stand behind him and agree with everything he said. Monique simply need to pick her battles and move smarter. PeriodT.
Whatever. It is NEVER ok to bend over for massa just for a check. PeriodT.
At this point, you just want to be disagreeable. Just because everyone is saying something doesn’t make it true. I get that.
But you ALWAYS go out of your way to follow something illogical. You do NOT know what Steve Harvey meant because he told her to suck it up and play THEIR game.
When we should BAND TOGETHER and make our own game, so we don’t have to cow-tow to their BS. But you think Rihanna can sing, so common sense isn’t your forte.
He had no right to wag his finger in a black woman’s face in front of all those racist whites. This will continue black women getting openly disrespected by not only the Steves but others too. How sad.. the man got issues
What are you kidding me said…STFU MEME!!
fat bitchescc can you please stop wearing tight clothes, look how mo is dressed take heed…yall fat bitchess especially in philly cheesesteak bitchesss refuse to dress for size.

Lawd Im black but black folks need to seek Jesus lol. How you gonna get mad because people don’t want to sacrifice their lives and work for you? smh. It’s cool to stand up for yourself but some folks on twitter taking it too far. Black folks the main ones calling for boycotts and to quit your job and then when your broke they won’t help you. You will be la led a washed up flop. Then be the same ones back shopping at the white owned businesses, banking with whites, watching white owned tv shows and networks. The list goes on. The end of the world is coming soon and when it does it’s going to be a mess.
More c00nspeak.

WHERE IS QUEEN LATIFA WHAT DOES SHE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT MO’ SHE HAD TO CHECK MO HERSELF when the queen did mos talk show on bet…its was two fat bitchess quenn was dis-appointed they picked mo…..for precious …i am with QUEEN LATIFA
Steve Harvey had the nerve to call Cornel West an “Uncle Tom” back in 2011 which couldn’t be further from the truth.
Im sorry you cant tell folks who have power in hollywood to suck your male parts then holler about integrity… she was blackballed not for being black or a woman but bc she is hard to work with… period… Many of us will never understand it
