Who the **** is saying she is not black anymore? Her being black is part of the reason people are so offended.
That is just a silly strawman.

That doesn't disprove my statement. It is based on simple Math
Add then divide Ninja. Something like 70 percent of Cuban Americans live in Florida. And older ones, even from Rubio's age bracket lead right.

Buying into the above framing implies that "the exact political opposite" of being a racist is calling someone a racist. That's ridiculous on its face. It's "an eye for calling someone an eye gouger."
If you're struggling to disassociate the contemporary Republican Party from its image as "the party of racism," you need to be out there opposing racists - not harboring and defending them. You need to demonstrate that you hold values independent of party affiliation.
Imagine if "liberals" circled their wagons around Anthony Weiner in this way. "Anthony Weiner was just expressing himself! This is a partisan witch hunt! Calling a man a sexual predator is like raping his reputation!"
If it's your belief that Schilling's bigotry is an acceptable part of your political platform, that he's being persecuted for "being conservative", yours is "the party of racism."
Curt Schilling repeatedly compared Muslims to Nazis, arguing that, even if only a small percentage of Muslim people are extremists, only "7% of Germans were Nazis": https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2015/08/25/espn-analyst-curt-schillings-worst-facebook-pos/205146
One wonders what he must think, then, of the presence of Swastika-bearing Nazis at "Unite the Right" events.
White supremacists voted for Donald Trump. David Duke et al. were delighted by his response to the violence in Charlottesville. That alone should prompt a long, hard look in the mirror.
You can embrace these racists as a legitimate component of your coalition or you can reject them. You can't do both.
If you believe it's finally time for Donald Trump to unequivocally denounce White Supremacist hate groups and sign the purely symbolic, bipartisan Congressional resolution urging him to use the full power of his office to oppose them, are you doing the "exact political opposite" of what Curt Schilling did?
If you see the world in terms of a binary opposition, you ought to be very careful where you draw the line separating "us" from "them." If you hate "liberals" so much that you'd prefer the company and allegiance of Nazis and Klansmen (the enemy of my enemy is my friend), you've done more than just choose party over country - you've chosen party over principle.

This. It's fine to have your own opinions, but be informed before diving head first like a jackass.

"ESPN originally tried to keep Hill off the air on Wednesday evening, but Smith refused to do the show without her, the sources said. Both sources also said that producers reached out to two other black ESPN hosts, Michael Eaves and Elle Duncan, to ask them to serve as fill-ins for the show — but Eaves and Duncan did not agree to take the place of Hill and Smith, either."

da Shillin analysis is more a macro view on da overall reprimand ESPN doled out vs Jemelle Hill I.E. conservative view points vs liberal view points, not arguing for or against racism and choose a side. its not a "well if don't agree with liberals here, im automatic siding with white supremacists/neo Nazis" nah b, its not that type of party.
we're talking about voting a 2 party system here meth, unfortunately you're gonna share da same vote with a host of whatever rogue's gallery you wanna insert here that's appropriate.

they're gonna find a way to get you, the target has gotten too big. Just resign and let ESPN deal with the back lash of straddling the fence. We support you and any other platform you choose to express your views on sports and politics in the future. ...and stop hating on the Falcons

Exactly my point: you've just presented racism as a "conservative viewpoint."

except i also added..
and Shillin never touched on race, this is where you're talking past my point, he brought up da whole transexual bathroom bill (a political view)
vs Jemelle who chimed on "white supremacy" (another political view)
da whole point is on a macro level, ESPN disciplined and eventually let go of Kurt for sharing his view, and Hill wasn't, its a Optics thing.

You gotta learn how to play the game champ. Always out-think your opponent and put yourself in a winning position. That's not just for chess but life itself.

Curt Schilling, the man you are caping for.............

-This is the man you open your mouth to defend. Jeez, god damn do better Edwin. Schilling had a pattern of behavior which contributed to his downfall.

Never touched on race? Go back and look at the link I posted earlier.
This is the problem. You're reflexively defending someone's bigotry just because you think they're on "your side." (It's worth asking if those you're defending feel the same about you.)
If you think expressing racist/bigoted opinions is just "being a conservative," you're proving Jemele Hill's point.
"Never Trump" Republicans would argue that racism isn't part of the legitimate Republican platform, but, in so doing, would agree that Trump is, himself, a White Supremacist. Is racism a liberal/conservative issue or a right/wrong issue? Is Nazism a liberal/conservative issue or a right/wrong issue? Are you so stuck on being contrary that you'll reflexively oppose anything your "enemies" support and defend anything your "allies" support? If so, I'm on team oxygen. What are you breathing?
