  • You chose to insult him instead of challenge his point. Simple reply from a simple mind.

  • Im not Tavis Smiley obviously, but here's a tip for great listening..when the person is talking, in your head, repeat every word they say to yourself as they are talking. Kind of like a translator would. This keeps you listening and internalizing what they say because you're repeating back to yourself what they are saying in real time. This technique also is great for listening to lectures or teachers etc.

  • listening is the most underrated skill

  • It's obvious the lack of sophistication and knowledge on many issues in his interviews or" conversations",That is way hi prefers to listen because he camuflax his limitations. I do miss Charley Ros.

  • Go to the website and look at all of the guests he has on...There actually is a lot of diversity in his guests.

  • i love all that filming equipment!

  • Yea, that's all we need; reporters from the manstream media to tell people how to lie and serve the agendas of their financial sponsors. The American media industry is a HUGE joke. The crisis in journalism has been going on for 20 yrs. The media censors real experts and airs idiots, liars and crooks with agendas.

  • he has all the personality of a constipated dish rag

  • This was a response to Pighood, not a comment on Tavis Smiley.

  • Is he sleep?

  • Gee, I think the guy shows intelligence, integrity and maybe, jut maybe, a non-exclusive belief system. Maybe he believes in himself and that transcend to a belief in others.

  • lol...i know..damn thats when u know ur mom didnt love you.
