A Nod To The Gods

ESPN African-American, female, talking head Jemele Hill called Trump a “white supremacist” in a tweet in September.

“Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has surrounded himself with other white supremacists,” Hill wrote on Sept 11. She called him “the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime.” Hill also called Trump a “bigot,” and “unqualified and unfit to be president.” She even added: “If he were not white, he never would have been elected.”

She was not fired or suspended because Disney CEO didn’t want to hurt her delicate sensibilities due to her race. 

 “I’ve not ever experienced prejudice, certainly not racism. It’s even hard for me to understand what they’re feeling about this, what it feels like to experience racism. So I felt we needed to take into account what Jemele and other people at ESPN were feeling in this time. That resulted in us not taking action on the tweet she put out.”

Now Ms. Hill is going after  Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his advertisers because Jerry told his team to stand for the anthem.When you allow these people to get away with saying whatever they want with no consequences, you empower them to say more. Going after one of the most powerful owners in the NFL isn’t particularly smart on Hills part, but because she felt she could say anything without repercussion, she said it.

Now ESPN’s been forced to put a leash on her so they suspended her for two weeks, a slap on the wrist when they should have fired her. Fired her not for being the useful idiot that she is, but for hurting to company she works for…that’s why people get fired. Disney is so terrified of being called racist that they refuse to take the appropriate action against someone with preferred minority status.

Don’t take my word for it, remember Curt Schilling? The white, male former baseball player. ESPN fired him for comments made about Muslims.

“ESPN is an inclusive company,” the network said in a statement. “Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated.”

See how that works, a black woman can call The President of the United States a white supremacist, a bigot, ignorant, and unfit for office and she gets to keep her job. A white male posts an unflattering comment about Muslims, (you know the exploding ones that hate America), on social media and he is terminated.

So a black female sports writer turned ESPN anchor Social Justice Warrior is more valuable to her company than a white former professional pitcher who happens to be conservative. 

Strange days indeed my friends, strange days indeed. 

Race in America has always been an issue and dealing with it has never had any easy answers. It’s human nature to live in groups that are all alike, call it tribal or whatever you want but it’s natural. An individuals personal thoughts on race are seen through different prisms depending upon life experiences. Tribe A, B, C, and D, all see race as a different thing dependent on how it has effected them personally. Good, bad, or indifferent, their judgments should be derived from personal experience….period. 

Unfortunately because different races have been given preferred minority status they have also been given preferred grievance platforms. Government stepped in and mandated the varying tribes get along or else. It’s no longer the individuals opinion that matters, it’s what the individual has been told to believe that matters. That’s a huge deal.

Colin Kaeprnick was born in Wisconsin, his African-American father ran out on his white mother before Colin was born. Kaepernick was put up for adoption and was adopted by a white couple with two children of their own. His life was changed from an illegitimate mixed race child with a bleak future to a life of opportunity.

Fast forward to Kaepernicks 2016 decision to kneel during the national anthem. He said that he was doing it because of oppression of his people. Who are his people? He has a college degree and making millions playing for the NFL because a white family adopted him, put him through school, was given a scholarship by a white college coach, drafted in the NFL by a white team owner and white head coach. Who are his people again?

The rest of the story is well documented but how did we get here? Was it Trumps non scripted statement? Trump said nothing about race, nothing about the NFL itself, he opined that it would be great if an owner stood up and fired the “sons a bitches” kneeling during the anthem, he was talking about a few individuals, not league wide. But see that doesn’t matter, the race industry has it’s opportunity, Trump haters smell blood and liberals are following the Alinsky play book, divide the country by race. 

Go back to the government dictating individual thought on race. Trump is now a racist because that’s what’s been mandated. Race became a cottage industry, then became big business, now thousands of groups make their living off preferred minority status. That’s how we got here. Kaepernick is a product of the race industry, he’s a useful idiot that’s been told to believe he and his “people” are oppressed, it’s not because of his personal experience, it’s what’s been mandated.

The division of America is almost complete, not because of Trump, not because white people are racist, it’s due to the race industry, the Black Caucus, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama, Black Panthers, the Democratic Party, and every other group that has something to gain whether that be money or votes.

That’s how we got here and it’s not going to end well.
