RE: ESPN removes announcer Robert Lee from UVA game
ms-ESPN at it again. Jemele Hill called the president and the people who work for him white supremacists. Said he only got elected because he's white. If you substituted Trump and white for Obama and black she would've been fired without investigation within minutes of those tweets.
To argue ESPN doesn't have a deep political bias is just not possible.

I just can't wait to see these guys protesting for "racial equality" like Michael Bennett and Kaepernick to call for Hill's firing. A white person saying the same would've been gone instantly.

RE: ESPN removes announcer Robert Lee from UVA game
yes let us all continue to bemoan the woeful place of the white male in American society. It's the white male that has it the hardest. He makes the most money, is disproportionately represented in positions of power and in high paying executive positions. He doesn't get the privilege of being profiled by police and is far disproportionately less likely to be shot by police while unarmed. White males don't get to serve as much jail time for similar crimes either and are far less likely to get the death penalty for capital offenses. Now statues of old white males who fought against the country and killed American are coming down...even those old white males are being persecuted. Life is tough for all of us white males right now. We are truly society's last victims.

Sorry, not playing this game. My point is simple. If you're for equality be for it in all situations. Selective enforcement is not equitable.

Says the person bursting in to reassure himself of his position.
Regardless, it is true that the press and other institutions in the United States are largely slanted one way. Personally, I don't care what retarded tweets people want to sound off with. It just makes them look bad, I'm sure the internet mob will let them and their employers hear about it for days and days.
As for Cleveland, it is a liberal city. It's values are "progressive" and it's not inaccurate to note as much. Like Chicago and a lot of other over-unionized, welfare and pension sucking leeches, it's political views aren't terribly diverse. You pretty much get the same kind of ideological stances all around. Most of which are more spending, more appeasing and more "communal" BS. But let's not pretend that sort of echo chamber only exists on the left.
As far as the notion that Trump is a white supremacist, I often wonder what some of these progressives would say about someone like Barry Goldwater or an actual racist republican? Hyperbolic doesn't really even begin to describe it. Of course, I don't think such people actually believe what they're saying. I think it's largely just a way to stay relevant. That's in contrast to the black-clad, balaclava wearing, antifa people. Who are just a bunch of grown man-babies and idealistic college kids.

I'm not sure what the point was, unless there was more to the statement.
The alternative was another white person for POTUS... The last black POTUS would never have been elected without the white vote (white's are still over 65% of the population)????
Add to that I doubt the number of remaining white supremacists is that large a demographic to wreak chaos in any substantial way.
Unless you include Fascist, Russian, Racists, Bigots, Misogynists (or is it Chauvinist) along with Supremacists.
Yes, it must be the FRRBMCS community.

Hamilton County is run by Democrats and has voted for Democrats in the past three presidential elections. Do we get to be coastal elites too?

Progressivism is neither limited to a coast or a particular class. Although I do think the majority of money and intellectual capital that supports progressivism comes from that particular demographic, everybody who supports those sort of ideological stances isn't some well off statesman or academic. There aren't a lot of black republicans, now are there?...
Having said that, you aren't liberal. Your/Cincinnati's "liberal", is everywhere else in America's "Neo-Conservative." There are poorer left leaning folk in Cincinnati, not as many elites. My guess, is because that's the only way they can see to exact change. Whining about things is easier than actually building something or doing something useful.

RE: ESPN removes announcer Robert Lee from UVA game
Its just like a conservative snowflake to be bothered more by someone calling trump a white supremacist than by trump championing white supremacist causes.
I have no doubt most people that voted for trump are not white supremacists but the white supremacists who voted for him and raved about him are getting their agenda addressed by him.

RE: ESPN removes announcer Robert Lee from UVA game
It baffles me that you have to be a "left wing progressive" to be against trump's white supremacist bs.
It baffles me that so many are cool with him saying a federal judge can't do his job because of his mexican decent.
Or when he says a gold star mother wasnt allowed to talk because she is Muslim.
Or when hee calls Mexicans rapists and murderers.
Or when he specifically says he is banning Muslims.
Or when he lies about crime levels in this country to attack minorities.
When he gets rid of DACA.
The list goes on.
Btw look at his appointments as president. Disproportionately white and men... more so than any president of my lifetime. His actions speak loudly.
when you articulate the same things white supremacists have continually articulated and support their agenda from the white house and hire almost entirely white men.... maybe that lable isn't exactly unearned.
As someone who votes for both major parties depending on the candidate the people accepting of this racist bs scare the **** about me. The fact that a black women with a voice speaks that concern is unsurprising. I have many friends in the black community and the acceptance of a racist president by so many has them more worried for their friends, families and communities than ever before.

white supremacist is another derogatory term the left used in retaliation relative to Trump talking about MAGA or America first. Somehow that only means white people LOL. Meanwhile College Park Md. city council voted last night to allow non citizens, illegal aliens, green carders to vote in local elections. That is now 5-6 towns cities in Md. that have done this. LOCO

Forgive me, I thought the white supremacy tag for Trump and his immediate staff came from:
- Racist remarks about Mexicans (like Mark said)
- Implying a black reporter must friends with those on the CBC.
- His relaxed take and "both sides" comments on Charlottesville. <---- kind of a key one here.
- Basically the rest of Marks list from above.
- Pardoning that racist sheriff, Arpaio, from Arizona.
I mean, is it unfounded?
