So if a broad says that black men are the scum of the earth out one side of their mouth than says we shouldnt allow police to kill unarmed black men we should still stand and support such a woman? We dont have time to support half steppers. And we can still support the rhetoric amongst those who are 100% down for the cause, while rejecting flip floppers...
The main problem is that most black people want cacs and society to love and accept them. And Jemelle being a public figure, and saying the things she is saying, in their mind, gets them closer to that hug/kiss and acceptance. Its my opinion that after 400 years, we have to look to OURSELVES for that love, acceptance and protection when it comes to police brutality. But time will tell you these things...

This is absolute stupidity
Especially when you consider other ESPN personalities have been critical of trump and the NFL and ESPN has pushed a more left leaning view point. And considering Disney as a corporation is more conciousus of inclusion and not offending anyone, this is evening sillier
Makes no sense to suspend her especially when they encourage them to have a platform.

philly.
deeper than that. this is simply the NFL strong-arming and saying you don't fukk with our owners and our money. don't even intimate it.
Absolutley not if the woman actually said black men are the scum of the earth,but I'm not thinking thats what Jamelle actually said
?I dont think you shouldnt be allowed to criticize black people if you give a heavy dose of support as well as criticism. Jamelle just should not be above criticism if shes not above flip flopping. I will say though,she has time and time again had support of black people,and instead shamlessly copped pleas to ESPN
No need to defend somebody who wont defend themselves
Somethign as simple as "there's a lot of straight black males" or a certain percentage of black men that come off as or parallel white supremacist behavior could have quelled that whole situation. To just come and back that article with nothing behind it was unfortunate and disappointing.
But I don't consider myself or many of the cats I know and run with as being that type of brotha who treat sistas like that, so my initial hate for her cosigning that trash subsided.
With this shyt, I will ride for her unconditionally because she's 100% right. What she said is what people say all the time, you hurt someone by hurting their sponsors. In this case, the sponsors are also ESPN sponsors, so it's
And her response to the "stick to sports" crowd is also 100% right. It'sas fukk hearing all the praise Ali got in his later years considering how he was one of the most hated nikkaz for his stance against the war. But even Ali was wrong and was c00ning in the way he treated Joe Frazier after all Frazier did for him.

Well said brother.
I remember I watched the documentary about Ali vs Frazier....Frazier was a great man
and look at what Ali did to Joe Frazier.
Smokin Joe was there for him when he was kicked out of boxing due to his stance on Vietnam, he was the one who lobbied most vocally for Ali to have his license to box reinstated. all the time Ali was at loose ends, both mentally and financially, Frazier was the one who was there offering assistance.
what did Ali do to repay him?
He mocked him, ridiculed him, and dragged his name through the mud every chance he got, even going so far to call him an "Uncle Tom". And, white folks love it. I know he didn't really mean it but it hurts Frazier. They're the same white people hate Ali but when Ali mocking Smokin Joe and white folks loves it.
Ali made the mistake

Breh this is the NFL. ESPN don't want none of it's employees to fukk with them. They all should have learned this lesson through Bill Simmons.
Who are you talking about? Because I'm seeing black & white liberals caping for Jemele on Twitter.
1. She didn't say that black men are the scum of the earth though and that's an extreme comment no one should cape for
2. She didn't write that dumbass article either BUT the fact she retweeted it without any comments on whether she agreed with it or not made me
and believe she agreed with it3. She is clearly defending brothas, in this case NFL cats, so it can't be hating all black men
I believe she goes so hard against black men due to her probably having bad experiences in her life dealing with some dirtbag nikkaz. She just needs to do a better job of specifying THEM, not all of us
