The National Association of Black Journalists is slamming NBC for Tamron Hall's abrupt departure on Wednesday, accusing the network of “whitewashing” to make way for Fox News star Megyn Kelly’s arrival.

That’s right. Racist NBC kicked out poor Tamron Hall to make way for a rich white woman.

She got demoted. Sheeit happens.

They offered her something else and she refused it.
Typical temper tantrum.
Idiot walking away from millions.

Her loss.

It’s business baby.....but naturally this has to be turned into discrimination. Hell, she’ll probably sue.

It sounds to me like this “black journalist group” is being racist.

What next? Let me guess. “It’s a white-in, not a whiteout.”

Word on the street is that NBC wants to shift toward the Right to get its ratings up.

The only way NBC can get best this terrible racist deed is to hire 20 more black journalists. Or is that African American journalists? Sorry about that.

Wouldn't that "black journalists group" be racist? Don't they allow whites in it?

Does almost every occupation have a separate Black Association to speak for them?
