ESPN Radio Host: "It is White Peoples Responsibility to Fix Racism"
The Social Memo ^ | 6/22/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 06/22/2015 9:56:19 AM PDT by rightistight

ESPN radio host and TV commentator Bomani Jones wrote in a series of emotional messages on Twitter yesterday that "it is white people's responsibility to fix racism" and that white people need to think about their "complicity in the racism of America."

In the tweets, which were first reported by the Social Memo, Jones called out "white supremacy" and "privilege," while also saying that liberals and conservatives are part of that structure, if they're white.

Over the course of a few hours, Jones went from analyzing racism in the United States to telling white people that they need to analyze their "complicity" in racism.

First, he wrote that his humanity was being "ignored" because he is African American:

Later, he wrote that "all white people" need to "consider their complicity in the racism of America:"

...Jones then claimed "it is white people's responsibility to fix racism:"

Next, Jones corrected people's grammar, while also making grammatical errors:

“It is White Peoples Responsibility to Fix Racism”

That is, by definition, a racist comment.

The irony regarding so many of these comments by the left is laughable.

and yet Rush was shown the door for saying that Donovan McNabb wasn’t all he was cracked-up to be.

Then we have to kill all the lawyers first. With a large population of the “perpetually offended for profit”, lawyers share a huge blame for continuing to feed the primary source of racism in America - profit. Shakespeare was right for the most part.

Can someone tell me what a bias-free nation looks like? What mechanisms, processes or influences are available to make a nation’s people all think alike about anything, much less race or religion? I think I know and I shudder to think.

Actually, Rush was shown the door for noting that Donovan McNabb was over-praised in the sports media because they wanted McNabb to be a superstar because he’s black. Rush simply rated McNabb based on actual results.

I don’t condone it; when I am exposed to it I either call it out or walk away. I’ve used the N word, but in referring to BEHAVIOR, the same way I’d use “white trash” to describe whites of low quality.

It’s black people’s responsibility to retire race-baiters like JJ and Al.

I've decided to help by making a personal pledge to not rob black people.

There... I've done my part, so leave me alone.

Rush was fired for mentioning race at all. He was going to keep that job until he mentioned anything about race.
It was just a matter of time.
