When you suffer from verbal diarrhea on a daily basis, Twitter is probably not the best platform to express yourself.
Yet, Stephen A. Smith continues to go there.
This time, the ESPN blatherskite decided to cross the line into politics.
Where is all the noise about #BlackLivesMatter when black folks are killing black folks?

There's nothing wrong when a presidential candidate says "All lives Matter"!

Smith was seemingly referencing a comment made by Democratic Presidential candidate Martin O’Malley who told the Netroots Nation conference over the weekend: “Black lives matter, white lives matter, all lives matter.”
O’Malley was showered with boos, and the Maryland governor later apologized for his comments.
When Smith received similar reaction from Twitterverse, he felt compelled to explain.

I'm a black man. Of course I know #BlackLivesMatter. You can't boo a presidential candidate just b/c he says "all lives matter".

Apparently, Smith also likes to hear himself speak because he retweeted the tweet of the Soundcloud of him clarifying what he meant in his original tweets:
