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.
