To show people you can be successful regardless of race, as long as you follow basic tenants that lead to successful life outcomes: education, no children out of wedlock, hard work

She's kinda doing exactly that by complaining to the bosses about it.

I feel bad for her. It probably sucks for people like her more than anyone. You’ve got white people automatically assuming you agree with all this BS and having to correct them while also being attacked for not being “black enough”.

I don't see it that way at all. I see it as her staking her claim to her value at the company. Shes a bigger "star" and arguably the most versed in sports of any of the other black employees there.
To be excluded on a black relations piece because other blacks feel she isn't black enough or wouldn't follow their narrative, are the very reasons for discrimination laws. What they've become is a farce. Essentially in this case she was treated as white. Perfect case study for what these idiot dingbats want to turn this country into. Tells you this isn't about race at all, it's all politics. White liberals are using blacks and their "movement" as a means to garner votes. Nothing more, nothing less. If it weren't an election year George Floyd would be just another black man dead. And when Trump is reelected how long do you think this black "movement" will be tolerated even by the left? Liberals will just use the next movement as their platform. We've seen this show before.

Strongly disagree with that notion but either way it wasn't a sports discussion they were having. It was a discussion she has flat out stated she doesn't think belongs on ESPN.

It's just funny to me how this shite has devolved from "Black Power!" to "frick Jews" and "frick other black people"


that cycle has been going for decades.

As far as sage, those people weren't wrong. doesn't make it right, but we all know it's true.

She stupidly thought it was really about race and reality and not propaganda, self victimization, and Anti-American hatred. Her positive experiences and happy life as a POC simply cannot be heard

Yes, but if they're going to do it anyway, she may have been hoping her colleagues would still involve her if they truly wanted to "start a conversation".

The fact they didn't isn't surprising, so I see the complaint as her reinforcing her stance that the discussions don't belong on the network. Not her playing a victim.

because other blacks feel she isn't black enough


I know this all too well.

One of the biggest, long time issues within the black community. Who is black in America.

Biracials aren’t black.
Someone not being black enough.
You don’t “look” black.
You aren’t “black enough” to understand the black community.
The whole light skinned-dark skinned war.

But when that person who’s “not black enough to be black” does something good, then all those SAME nay sayers come out the closet and are the first ones yelling, THATS MY BLACK BROTHER/SISTER, FIRST BLACK PERSON TO xxxxx. HE/SHE IS A PRODUCT OF BLACK EXCELLENCE!

And who is the all seeing, appointed judge to determine “who’s black” and “who isn’t”??

I’m pretty sure a lot of old South Baton Rouge families went through this.

She actually was a victim here though. Not just grasping as straws like most people do.
