Man please. This may very well be true.
The problem in here is that many of you are looking for a narrartive that works for you. I’ve dealt early on with black corporate cutthroats who want to be the only negro in the room. personally sickened by the entire process of working in corporate media.
Yo this shyt is so true. I've encountered it at school and corporate America. The black people end up being the worse ones b/c they scared you gonna take their spot or some silly shyt and stay hating on you to prove their worth to their white friends or management.

No. Do you? I need proof before deciding, that's why I didn't blame him or them. And my house slave quote still stands regardless.
Read her tweet she mentions she did have a problem with berman and took it to ESPN now unless you recall berman mysteriously being off air for a period of time around that point nothing must have come of it as the accuser is stating. What could have been so serious she would have to report to an espn exec? And why would Lawrence just conjure up this out of the blue? Clearly hill told her this in confidence and shes betrayed her trust. Hill is now doing what she can to save the company's image and her job

Mannnn....years back I had a job lined up at Unilever. Made it past a number of interviews, on my last one with a “brotha.” Minutes into it I could see he wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to be the second negro in the office, scared that I was going to share in his spotlight.

I’m personally sickened by it all and hate having to navigate through it.

I sometimes wonder about the maturity and experiences some have in here dealing with being black and working for major corporations. Some of your responses are so cookie cut black militant cliche that you pretty much prove that you’re completely disconnected to the nuance that exists being in that world.

I see Jemele is playing the good soldier role and not trying to make waves now

Real talk the majority of this site are kids or people who haven't had enough life experiences around different groups to even give a valid point on these stories. Cats scared to get on a plane or even leave their neighborhood talking about what black militant stand they would've taken in corporate America. shyt aint that simple and you have to think 5 steps ahead before doing anything in CA especially when being black.

TYRONE GA!
All I got to say is ESPN got a history of sexual harrassment. Aint enough tea in china to make me think that stuff still ain't going on. Especially all the fukk for tv scene time that seems to go on there.

But that mickey mouse money goes a long way to covering up shyt.

The voicemail is the thing that makes me go hmmmmm

Even that clown 45 got tapes leaking. But no one has a copy of this alleged voicemail? Especially in this day and age?:patrice:

If Jemele is truly telling the truth that it wasn't that, all I can do is take it at face value.

Now if we find out she was covering for Berman, then I'm done.

Told my brother years ago that I didnt like that fat cocksucker! He was always suspect to me. When they had rush limbaugh on they're Nfl show panel I always thought hmm...berman was probaly the main one who greenlighted that shyt.
