Amber Athey fired after likening Kamala Harris’ suit to UPS uniform
New York Post ^ | 4/5/2022 | Lee Brown

Posted on 04/05/2022 4:03:25 PM PDT by fruser1

A conservative writer and commentator says she was fired from a radio job and accused of being racist after joking that a brown suit worn by Vice President Kamala Harris looked like a UPS uniform.

“Kamala looks like a UPS employee — what can brown do for you?” Athey’s March 1 tweet read. “Nothing good, apparently.”

Athey was contacted “out of the blue” by Jeff Boden, the vice president of station owner Cumulus Washington, and human resources VP Kriston Fancellas.

“They told me that the tweet I sent about Kamala was ‘racist’ and that subsequent follow-ups defending myself and making fun of the efforts to cancel me were unacceptable,” she recalled. “I had violated the company’s social media policy, they said, and I was terminated effective immediately.”

“We spoke frequently [on the show] about the dangers of censorship and cancel culture on our program, and yet here they are bowing to the mob,” she wrote. “If I can be fired for making fun of the vice president’s outfit, every single host on a Cumulus station is in danger of losing their job at a moment’s notice.”
Yes that's right.

Her Jamaican father is almost as white as I am, most of her color comes from her Indian mother.

Which makes her Indo-Jamaican, not African-American.

She’s considered a “High Yellow” negro.

“What can Brown do for you?” Not a damn thing.

It can get you started in politics if you’re Kamala...

Yup.

If it was racist, it would have been phrased, What WILL brown do for you?

Again, the answer is either nothing, or try to murder you.

From Slaver stock, the escort-service work profile of Chlamydia Harris lends itself to ridicule.

I dont normally pay attention to such things but I have to admit that Ive wondered about her strange uniforms and questioned the choice of color.

Is the uniform look some sort of modern mnemonic referencing Mao? Is the brown supposed to make her look more white for all those racists or is the brown supposed to make her look darker so she can be down with the struggle?

I know all this image stuff is planned, I just dont understand what shes trying to project.

Does she have some grifter deal with a “fashion” company?

Like Mo Obama had with Nike via her brother, the basketball coach?

Big Brown, who won the 2008 Kentucky Derby, was named after the UPS slogan. Big Brown was likely more qualified to be VP than Harris.

Not to worry, Harris doesn’t know what she’s trying to project either.

She’s on with Tucker now and she’s not taking Cumulus firing lying down. She’s smart and articulate and is going to make them regret their wokeness. She’s named names, two VPs who obviously have the combined IQ of a walnut, who will likely now be fired themselves, for being too stupid to breathe.
