Is this what reputable news papers are reduced to, click bait titles to give black feminist dykes views?:hhh:



Emmit Till was killed as A CHILD BASED OFF FALSE ACCUSATIONS. :hhh:


:hhhnah:how the fukk does what we face as black men, have to do with some cracker the rest of cracker america gave the green light to fukk up the country ?:awdahell:

Have to love the Brian Banks angle!

Scrolling through it I was waiting for the other shoe to drop outside of the headline and I wasn't let down, missing the bigger picture my rass, I compliment her for attempting to be smooth but spare me the rigmarole, just say you endorse Kavanaugh and be done with it.



Nice signaling Jemele, expect the headlines and the articles to become more bombastic in future :francis:

She ruined the premise of her article with her conclusion that black men are rarely treated similar to white men such as Kavanaugh. She really stretched by saying black men identified with Kavanaugh, then segued into how black men are the most vulnerable to false accusations of sexual assault. If anything, the article simply could have been about the disparity of treatment between accused white and black males. The little slick dig at us through a false and tenuous show of support for a cac rapist that half the political establishment caped for is noted, however. Black men dont give a fukk about Kavanaugh, we are worried that in a world in which there is a renewed focus on sexual assault, that the black man will be the face of those punished, while the white man will be the face of the accused. And the accused will have the entire system on their side as people rush to defend them.

You just go used by the devils at ESPN to sit there and try and pull in the “youth” by shoehorning dated slang into the broadcasts. Then they kick you out on your ass for speaking out against police brutality against African-Americans

So instead of writing a piece about your experience as a woman of color being mainpulated by the mainstream media to superficially serve its political agenda... you write a thinkpiece for the mainstream media about how black men are somehow involved with a creepy, old white Supreme Court nominee.

After reading the article, anyone who is defending it needs to reread it.... Its fukking nonsense.


First... her entire premise is wrong. Black men do not see themselves in Kavanaugh. She's confusing and conflating two different lines of thought here:
- One is feeling empathy for the accused (which she believes is what is happening, but its not, because Kavanaugh is not suffering from racial discrimination in this case)
- And the other is feeling mistrust for the system (which black men do feel 100%, regardless of the case).

While these two means of thinking are not always mutually exclusive, they are 100% exclusive in the Kavanaugh case because, as I said above, Kavanaugh is not black so the racial angle isn't there.


For any black person to miss this is downright baffling to me.:mindblown:



Using Jemele's rationale, the title could have been any of the following

Why black men see themselves in Harvey Weinstien
Why black men see themselves in Brock Turner
Why black men see themselves in Daniel Holtzclaw
etc etc you get my point.

Let me make this as clear as I possibly can...

When black men show empathy to the accused in these cases... we are showing empathy because the accused is usually getting railroaded for racial reasons.
We say to ourselves, "That could have been me, i'm a black man, they wouldn't believe me too because I am black"

Its the same as when we show empathy for a little black boy gunned down for the police.
We say to ourselves. that could have been my brother, my nephew, my son, that could have been me.
We are showing empathy because our race is the defining factor here.

Now if that same cop guns down a white boy, we aren't going to celebrate or anything. Even though its not a black boy, we we still distrust the cop.
However, we dont share that empathy with the white boy as we do with the black boy for obvious, racial reasons that any black person in America should be able to pick up on.

Kavanaugh is not black, so none of the racial empathy argument even applies to him.

Jemele Hill even goes as far as to say "IF Kavanaugh was black...."


BUT HE'S NOT BLACK, THATS THE POINT!!! We don't see ourselves in him. We an't capping for this cac, but we also dont trust the system either.

If Jemele cant understand the fundamental reasoning of a black man, she should keep black men out of her mouth and write about some shyt she knows about.
