Miss Texas said the same thing and gets applauded for it. Meanwhile Jemele Hill gets dragged? If you can't see the white privilege then you might wanna get your eyes checked

So to clarify OP, you're saying you hold an ESPN anchor's Twitter response to a higher standard than the public tweets that come from the President of the United States?

D3, I think we can all agree trump's tweeting should not be the new bar for what is and is not acceptable on twitter and other social media outlets

Glenn Beck didn't get fired, suspended, or have to apologize for saying that Obama has a "deep-seeded hatred for white people" on Fox News.

like

Nope, Trump didn't apologize for any of the ridiculous crap he said prior to taking office. I didn't hear an apology for the birther bullshit, Central Park 5, etc. I didn't see him demanding anybody's job for those Time or New Yorker covers depicting him as a klansmen or Hitler.

Absolutely....double standard

This is really blown out of proportion. If she said it on air that's one thing. If she said it on tweets then it's another. All ESPN should have done was say that her views don't represent the networks and they should have kept it moving.

The issue is the way in which ESPN has handled incidents with other members of staff in previous situations. They have been extremely inconsistent on how they react and what punishments they give out. It just doesn't look good when Linda Cohen is suspended this week as well for her mixing politics and her position yet nothing has been publicly announced for Jemele. All anyone can really ask or expect is consistency which ESPN has seemingly not adhered to.

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

I have a 25K loan from my MBA. I paid off 100k whole, after graduation. 3 years ago, I moved my loan from federal to private ( SOFI) account. I recently lost my job. I have applied for unemployment, as the severance that I received will only cover for 2 months. Together my husband and I used to make less than 250k after tax. Now, with a loss of pay , we are going to make less. Do you think I will be eligible for Loan forgiveness?
