It's the falsely accusing someone, the POTUS of all people, of being a white supremacist because he's, you know...white. That IS racism.

Can her arse and let Micheal Smith do the show on his own.

He was one of their best talents until they teamed him up with her.

ESPN's viewership could drop by half and they'd still be one of the top-5 non-broadcast networks.


They'd still lose a ton of money though which is the only thing that ultimately matters.

Truth. He's good when not paired with hill. I think she's hurting his brand.

They couldn't put some bowling or women's weight lifting in the time slot as a temporary stop gap? If the story is actually true, no one is going to want the job before the person who's job they are taking has been fired. You shite can her arse first, and then you watch the resume's pile in, not the other way around

So would it have been ok if trump said...

"I condemn Antifa, but I condemn the nazis more. Because nazis are worse then Antifa, but they are both bad."

Your side is literally freaking out of simple semantics. Trumps original statement doesn't contradict the above quote, but for some reason yall think trump is a white supremacist because of what he said. Trying so hard to make something out of nothing

I don't think anyone would have an issue with someone who condemned an actual white supremacist. What the issue is that because you don't like someone and they take every single person into account rather that special interests groups does not give you the right to label them a white supremacists. Doing so is basically like me calling a black person a derogatory term.

I really hate that people like you and Jemele on the Left are so casual in your acceptance of blatant racism. It makes it so much harder for those of us who have tried to uphold Dr King's "content of your character" ideal within our own blended families to succeed. You do real and measurable damage to our cultre when you use something as volatile as race as a political instrument to slur the President and others. It's vile. On the other hand, it also essentially ensures that the Democratic Party will stay in the wilderness for decades to come. And now after losing the Political Culture it appears as if you are hell bent on losing the larger American culture as well. You guys are on a suicide mission and you are too sanctimonious to even notice.


Wow, very powerful!

It isnt because hes white man. He wasnt the first white leader we have had.
His campaign had some dog whistles and this didnt help.
I am not someone who thinks all Trump voters are racist btw.
I get a bad rep on here. I think false racism accusations are extremely damaging. That said i find trumps pandering to these folks by being hesitant to call them out by name troubling. Is that understandable?

So was he wrong to say there we agitators on both sides? Or did you want him to say "I condemn the nazi and the bad people on the other side?

I did not find Trump pandering to any group in his statement.

From my perspective it was a clear hedge aimed at not offending folks that very likely voted for him.

It sure is, as long as you heard the muslim dog whistles during the Obama presidency, and you found his flat refusal to call out radical islamic terrorism equally as troubling.

Surely if "troubling" means you think Trump may be sympathetic to Nazis and their beliefs, you must have thought Obama may be sympathetic to Islamic terrorists, right?

I dont think trump is a nazi sympathizer. I think trump is an egomaniac who has a hard time condemning anyone who supported him. Even if they are pure evil

So do you think Jemele Hill is wrong for saying what she said?

Scroll up. Her job is not to talk politics. She shouldn't have said what she said and if she got fired for violating company policy id be fine with it(if they have such a policy)
