The Post About Jemele Hill's Suspension

On September 11, 2017, Jemele Hill tweeted: Donald Trump is a white supremacists who has largely surrounded himself with other white supremacists. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders called Hill’s comment a “fireable offense.” Then Trump himself weighed in on Twitter, calling on ESPN to “apologize for untruth” and claiming the network “is paying a really big price for its politics (and bad programming). People are dumping it in RECORD numbers.” By the way, ESPN is not losing subscribers because of its politics

In other tweets, she called Trump a bigot who is “unqualified and unfit to be president.” At that time, the network said Hill’s comments were inappropriate and that the network had talked to her. She put out a comment via Twitter apologizing for her comments being seens as a reflection of ESPN, rather than actually apologizing for her comments.

ESPN suspended the SportsCenter host over tweets she posted Sunday discussing the Dallas Cowboy’s and owner Jerry Jones’ vow to punish players who kneel for the National Anthem.

She was suspended for social media behavior while Trump threatens North Korea endangering lives of Americans. ESPN basically suspended her for hurting Trump’s feelings. It’s pretty sad that he is more upset about Jemele Hill than white supremacists. He is more upset about a black woman speaking the goddamn truth about him because he would never get mad at people who believe the same things that the people in his cabinet believe. ESPN refuses to defend Hill, but they don’t need to since plenty of people have voiced their support for Hill on social media. Whether they are attacking Maxine Waters, April Ryan, or Jemele Hill, Trump and his supporters are getting scared of black women who aren’t afraid to speak their mind. Jemele Hill said this during the week. “I can’t pretend as if this isn’t a challenging time in our country’s history. As a career journalist, I can’t pretend that I don’t see what’s happening in our world.”

The Post About Kenneka Jenkins

Kenneka, a 19 year old African American woman, was brutally murdered and raped. Her mother Tereasa Martin murder was contacted by her friends saying that they could not account for her whereabouts and that they were looking for her but they couldn’t find her. These accounts, reported by the mother, changed very often and there were often missing pieces to their stories. Martin went to the hotel and next morning and confronted hotel workers asking them to show her video footage of the night and asking them to help her look for her daughter.

They refused help or to lift a finger that did not help her in any way. They told her to report it to the police and file a missing person’s report. Then the police arrived at 3 or 4 p.m., mind you, her mother was at the hotel at 5am . They found her body in the freezer at the hotel. The police reported that she locked herself in the freezer, but it made no sense for her to lock herself in the freezer because the freezer doors were double steel doors. Even if she was drunk it would have been difficult to open those doors. Moreover, the freezer doors have an exit button which would have made it easy for someone to leave the freezer.

The story circling social media currently is that she was really murdered and raped by guys that join the party. There’s also a Facebook video filling around that may hold evidence to what happened that night. Her murder is a sign of how black women are the most disrespected race in America. What happened to her shows how the disappearance of black women and their murder is not met with the same ferocity and urgency that is usually met when it happens to white women.

The injustice that this young girl’s legacy is facing in this moment is reflective on what happens so often with black women. The misogyny that surrounds black women is a result of rape culture that makes men blame women who have been raped. The deeply rooted misogynoir in our society makes them blame your clothing and for being too sexual in Instagram photos. Also, women will turn around and say the same thing as a way to side with the same misogynoir that oppresses them as well. These statements are results of the rape culture prevalent in this society.

Moreover to the fact that many people believe that if she pick the right friends this would not have happened. Honestly, the only people who are at fault are the ones who raped this young girl. She did not deserve to die this way and she does not deserve to be forgotten. Her story must be heard because too many times this happens to young girls and it goes ignored. We must remember her name and her face so that people will never forget what happens to black women. We must teach our men to take care of and to protect black women.

The Post About Venus Wiliams

Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, police department falsely accused Venus Williams of killing an elderly man when she didn't do that last week. On June 9, 78 year old Jerome Barson was killed and his wife, Linda, terribly injured after Ms. William's SUV – going five miles per hour – entered an intersection, colliding with the Barson's car. June 30, in a Facebook post, Venus Williams addressed the accident. “I am devastated and heartbroken by this accident. My heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends of Jerome Barson, and I continue to keep them in my thoughts and prayers.” Then, on July 3 at Wimbledon, the tennis media asked Williams about how she felt about essentially killing a man. The way they posed the question was awful. Venus started to make a statement, but soon she burst into tears and left the press conference to not come back. While the police investigation was still going on, TMZ released a video showing that Williams was innocent.  The police now say that Williams was driving lawfully in the intersection. Amid this trauma, Venus has advanced to the second weekend of Wimbledon, defeating Naomi Osaka, a 19-year-old player who was not even born when Williams first took to the grass courts 20 years ago. Her ability to persevere is stunning, but this is not a game. The police released this statement at the beginning of their investigation. That is a huge screw up! You don't reveal information to the public without any sufficient evidence to back it up. Also, this video was released by TMZ. If TMZ didn't get a hold of this video footage, would it have been released at any point during the investigation? Why would they do something this irresponsible and negligent?

Because she is a black woman. This whole case is a look into how police and white people in America treat black woman. They always assume that black people are at fault without even taking the time to consider any other possibilities. Venus Williams is one of the most stunning tennis players. Venus Williams also has Sjogren's Syndrome, an autoimmune disease which causes debilitating joint pain, swelling, numbness and fatigue. She already has to deal with this kind of disease while being one of the most amazing and graceful tennis players of our time. But now people wanna go around tarnishing her reputation like it's some kind of game. Williams has had to go against people on the tennis court who were barely walking or weren't even born yet when she was just learning how dominate the court.She and her sister are arguably some of the greatest athletes in the world and now this comes out of nowhere. Can you believe the pressure that she may be under to stay as accomplished as she is and also keep a level head above all of the bullshit she may face on a regular basis?

The Post About How White Women Need To Leave Famous Black Women Alone

Recently, I've been seeing a lot of think pieces by white feminists about Beyonce, Serena Williams, Michelle Obama, and other famous black women. Most of these have headlines condemning their bodies and how they use them. One article's headline called Beyonce a straight whore and said that Serena's swimsuit shoot was something similar to porn. Now all of this is bullshit. It's just white women hating black women for being in control and loving their bodies. Black women can't live their life without mainstream media outlets thinking that they can have a say. As if what these whit people have to say even matters. If Beyonce wants to have an amazing photoshoot to show off her pregnant belly, then she's going to do that and you can't do anything except be salty and jealous. White women need to stop demonizing black women's bodies because it is not your damn place.

I am sick of seeing all of this unnecessary white fragility over strong black women.

Leslie Jones may not "fit the mold", but that's the same mold of slim and feminine women. Leslie Jones is an amazing actress and a phenomenal comedian. She doesn't have to fit a look because she is her own person with an amazing body and exceptional talent.

Simone Biles is constantly getting smack for her body, but maybe ya'll forgot that she is a gold medalist olympian. She is the fourth American female gymnast to win five medals in a single Olympics. So how about we let her live her life?

Michelle Obama has faced so much misogynistic and racist backlash during her time of being the first lady. People have called her fat, too masculine, ugly, and I am sick of it. She has a Ivy League education and is an inspiring individual. Here is a link to all of her amazing accomplishments as our First Lady: http://blackdoctor.org/483712/job-well-done-first-lady-16-accomplishments-of-michelle-obama/

Beyonce is too confident, but she's Beyonce. She is an amazing singer, actress, dancer, and mother. So sit down and shut up. Here is full list of all her broken records and accomplishments: https://beyoncegalaxy.wordpress.com/records/

Serena Williams might look too like a man to you, but to me she is the greatest athelete ever. Period. She has won four grand slams in a row and is a gold medal olympians with a full list of accomplishments: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/rio-2016/2016/08/09/serena-williams-olympics-grand-slam/88442570/


All of these horrible remarks show how it doesn't matter how much you succeed because people only want to look at your outward appearance. They will never give you credit for the amazing things you've done if you don't make them feel comfortable about themselves. A lot of people cannot handle black women just succeeding because then they feel less than. So they make unnecessary and disrespectful thinkpieces disguised as a way to preach their feminist ideals, when really they are being hateful and disgusting.
