    Fundamentally, it truly seems that ESPN is so disconnected from the Black experience that when Jemele's tweets reflect it, they are botheredhttps://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/917480008205127681 …

    Jemele Hill was basically suspended for being Black and thoughtful while at ESPN. Her suspension is completely outrageous.

        ESPN profits so much from African American athletes yet they are completely disconnected from the experience of being AA in the USA

        ESPN is trying its hardest to emulate Fox News. If ESPN fires Jemele, then Fox News will face a massive boycott. #FireHannity #FireKilmeade

        Infuriating. White supremacists get patted on the back by the White House, but a Black woman gets suspended for stating her opinion.

        We knew #ESPN didn't value Black viewers when, emboldened by Trump's rise, they re-hired avowed #Birther Hank Williams Jr. in our faces.
