ESPN’s Jemele Hill Got Reprimanded For Calling A White Supremacist A White Supremacist And Black Folk Have Her Back
#IStandWithJemele
ESPN’s Jemele Hill isn’t one to bite her tongue…or her Twitter fingers. So on September 11th, she was having a casual conversation and mentioned that Donald Trump is a white supremacist who empowers white supremacists. And, well, she wasn’t lying.

In fact, it’s pretty much an established, agreed upon sentiment that Donald Trump’s refusal to speak out against white supremacists has emboldened and empowered them. Still, ESPN sent out a letter throwing Hill and her comments under the bus. But guess what, black folks have come to her aid in spectacular fashion.
espn threw jemele hill under the bus in order to appease the same pigs who bombard her with racism and sexism all day every single day

Peep the support and the dragging going for any and everyone offended by Jemele’s truth. We stand with her.
Jemele Hill: "Donald Trump is a white supremacist."
ESPN: "WHAT!?"
White People: "WHAT!?"

Jemele Hill spouting facts. She did nothing wrong. If you think she did something wrong, you're part of the problem. No apology necessary.

ESPN never said Sage Steele's comments on Black People being the real racists in America didn't reflect their company views, but I digress https://t.co/Ug2oqXkVyy

Jemele Hill didn't say anything we don't already think. It's a big deal because it's ESPN and she's black. Get over it! Truth hurts!

Good for you Jemele Hill speaking the truth – I can prove Trump is a racist, still waiting for ANY #TrumpTrolls to prove he isn't
— Jimmy Streich (@RealStreicher) September 13, 2017
I stand with Jemele Hill and any journalist who speaks out about white supremacy, bigotry. Editors who ban the truth are part of the problem
