ESPN Suspended Linda Cohn, Let Jemele Hill Slide

Another prominent employee who also requested anonymity stated, “If I’d said Obama got elected because he was black is there any way I’d still be employed here? No chance. But Jemele can say Trump got elected because of white racists and no one does anything? They protect the people they agree with politically. They give them better jobs, more money, everyone can see it.”

Another employee recently contacted Outkick and said, “I pretend I’m a Democrat so I can keep my job here. And there are others just like me. We’re like a secret society inside ESPN.”

Look at what happened to Herman Cain and compare that Trump's groping. Imagine if Michelle Obama were a model who had nude sexually provocative pictures with another woman. Imagine if Obama was on his third wife with children from 3 different women.

To be fair, Trump is unique in that I can't imagine any candidate being elected with his history.

Obama got more Black people to vote for him but there are also a lot Whites who didn't vote for him because he was Black. Kennedy got more Catholics to vote for him because he was Catholic.

I'm sure my mom likes Hillary more because she's a woman.

When you say Obama got elected just because he was black it's rather insulting. He's a very talented politician. Most of us political junkies know what political talent looks like. Trump has it too. They're both charismatic. Hillary is not.

Trump didn't win. Hillary lost.

Trump cold not have won with only the white vote either.

There were cross overs so if everybody that voted for Trump is a White Supremacist, then why weren't they when they voted for Obama?

The number of votes he got from minorities was minimal at best.

Hey, lots can change in people's minds in eight years, especially with Obama being blamed for literally everything.

We all know black people always vote for Democrats. ( proving they are insane-doing something over and over and expecting a differnet result)

Utterly and completely false. For a long time, the African American community was loyal to the party of Lincoln. Once the GOP showed that they were no longer the party of Lincoln......African Americans stopped voting for them in large numbers.

That's not an opinion. It's either factually true or false, and I can assure you it is false. I can say with certainty that all White independent voters that voted for President Obama voted for him because they hated Bush, and by association McCain. They were angry about the economy, and the wars started by Republicans which is why Democrats won a super majority in congress that year. All white Democrats were voting for him regardless of his skin color. If he had been running in the primary against a white man you could maybe make the argument that some white Democrats voted for him in the primary because he was black, but given that he was running against a woman who was very popular at the time, it's hard to argue that he got any kind of under dog status.

In fact given that there were some Obama voters who flipped to Trump in this last election I think it's safe to say there were at least some racists who voted for Obama in 2008 because they were so disgusted with Bush and Republicans they felt they had no choice.

Apparently you don't actually know what a fact is. You should probably look up that words definition and understand the words you use. It would keep you from looking so foolish.
 
Wait, are you saying that president Jesse Louis Jackson only got elected because he was Black?! He was our greatest president.

When he opened Mar-a-Lago, Trump welcomed Jewish members, African-Americans, and gay couples, who had been prohibited from joining other Palm Beach clubs.

Yes, his father was still alive and running the company at the time but 45 was in charge of the properties in question when they were charged with red-lining at properties in VA and NY.

No, if Trump was not white he certainly wouldn't have been elected, considering the things he says. His attacks on POWs alone would and---and frankly, should have----sunk him.

No, he attacked one POW who was suspect to begin with.
 
This leftist wench had a right to her opinion says ESPN . they’re her own views. That’s what got Ditka, and Curt Schilling and others fired. She expresses no remorse or apology keeps her job.


The ESPN boards are getting hammered by people demanding this woman be fired! You wouldn’t had seen this a years ago on ESPN’s boards, but people have had it with the suffocating liberalism the network espouses daily. People are waking up folks!

Utterly false. The only people who think McCain was "suspect" are the usual idiots who believe whatever stupidity fanatics throw their way.

Trump said "I like people who weren't captured". He also said avoiding STDs was "his Vietnam" previously.

Trump cultists are utter scum for defending a man who attacks POWs. There is no two ways about it.

This isn't about your lame racism attempts, it's about discriminatory employment practices at ESPN
Click to expand...

Since there are no discriminatory employment practices at ESPN, its not about that either. Its about another lying conservative narrative instantly believed as fact by conservatives whose only purpose is to keep conservatives angry and ignorant. ESPN strives to be non-partisan. They tell their people to keep their opinions to themselves. They do that consistently. When an employee repeatedly ignores the warnings, they get fired. Of course as a conservative (or conservative like poster) you think Schilling was fired for being conservative. He was fired for not stopping when told to stop. If Jemele doesn’t stop, she too will be fired.

And fyi, Dan Le Batard was not only quite critical of President Obama’s visit to Cuba he was also critical of ESPN’s coverage of Cuban baseball. He wasn’t fired. He was however suspended for two days for his billboard “thanking” Lebron

Dan will be off the air for two days, returning Monday,’ the network said. ‘His recent stunt does not reflect ESPN’s standards and brand. Additionally, we were not made aware of his plans in advance.’

Your link pretty much said exactly what I did with different wording. I suggest you work on your reading comprehension skills.

You like that expression "pretty much", because you get to finesse words the way you would like them to be for some unknown reason. Hopefully it is just ignorance.

Here is what you wrote: "A racist would be someone who judges an individual person based largely or entirely upon the color of their skin."

Perhaps if you spent some time to dwell on the differences between bigotry and racism, you would see the clear difference. Judging someone by the color of their skin isn't the same as viewing oneself as superior because of the color of their skin.
