ESPN commentator Jemele Hill took to Twitter on Friday to give support for Kaepernick and voice her concerns about him not yet being signed and to suppoort his comments regarding the police being slave patrols.
Obviously her remarks raised eyebrows but we are 100% behind her!
The 6 o’clock hour of SportsCenter co-host voiced conerns that the Ravens had signed an unknown instead of Kaep.
“Oh and ICYMI, the Ravens signed a dude who quit football to be a realtor and played in 2 games in college over a Super Bowl QB,” She tweeted.
Then, Nathanael Johnson replied:
“I feel like it’s been forgotten that he basically called (all) cops ‘slave patrol’ a month ago. I mean, that’s pretty inflammatory,”
Hill wasn’t having any of that and responded that it was “inflammatory,” but also “historically accurate.”
Johnson replied, “There’s historically truth there, yes … but is it fair to say now to all the cops, esp when many minorities serve?”
And Hill…
“I wouldn’t say all, but it’s been clear for a long time the policing & judicial system are institutionally racist,”
GO HILL!
So a civil, back and forth conversation w/ ONE person on Twitter is "under fire." And whoever wrote this might want to read a book. https://t.co/D7V9ZNZE6Y
