Man of black privilege says Tim Tebow's NFL return is 'white privilege'

Black person of privilege and ESPN host of "First Take" Stephen A. Smith, doesn't like the fact that former Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Tim Tebow may be returning to the NFL as a 33-year-old White man and Colin Kaepernick is not. It isn't as if Kaepernick wasn't given the special opportunity to try out for a team--he just bailed on the chance and sold shoes instead while kneeling for our national anthem.

He also sucked as a quarterback and nobody wanted his controversial garbage on their team.
 

Tebow, on the other hand, is a devout Christian who believes men are men and women are women, abortion is murder and Jesus is King.

Like Michael Jordan's brief stint in baseball, Tebow signed on with the New York Mets' minor league team and was as good at baseball as a goldfish is with frisbee. So he decided to give football another go and will play as a tight end--a position he's never played--and he has now signed a one-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars and for one thing, since he played his college football in Florida, he should be a huge draw for the team and an inspiration in the locker room where Colin Kaepernick was more of a bummer.

On Thursday's episode of "First Take, Smith admitted he "had a problem" with the team's decision to sign a White guy as tight end, and failed to consider the Florida fan-base he would bring in as well as his positive attitude, in spite of being a White man of no color.

"I’m happy for him, meaning Tim Tebow specifically, but when you look at the totality of the situation, If I'm gonna bring up white privilege when I brought up Steve Nash getting the job in Brooklyn, is this not an example of white privilege?" Smith said. "What brother you know is getting this opportunity?" the Black host who got an incredible opportunity that must have been denied to other White job seekers.

If this sounds like me being a white supremacist, I am not. I am also not a champion of any race being better than any other. I despise white supremacists because they are evil, hateful asshats who would attack me and my wife because we're an interracial couple. 

So Smith can go to hell for his racist sentiments. It's disgusting and now I know how it feels to be on the receiving end of racist hatred as a White man. A lot of us do now in America thanks to the Left.

 like so many other Black women before me, having to call your attention to this problem.”

Lightfoot went further, taking to Twitter early Thursday morning to defend her policy in a series of posts.

“I ran to break up the status quo that was failing so many,” Lightfoot tweeted. “That isn’t just in City Hall. It’s a shame that in 2021, the City Hall press corps is overwhelmingly White in a city where more than half of the city identifies as Black, Latino, AAPI, or Native American.”

“Diversity and inclusion is imperative across all institutions including media. In order to progress we must change,” she continued. “This is exactly why I’m being intentional about prioritizing media requests from POC reporters on the occasion of the two-year anniversary of my inauguration as mayor of this great city.”

Critics blasted Lightfoot’s decision from all sides Wednesday. Beyond the journalists who noted that they were shut out by the policy limiting interviews, Lightfoot faced criticism from a Latino news organization, which refused to interview the mayor after she refused to lift the moratorium on white journalists, per Fox News.

She also faced blowback on Twitter, where racial justice advocates suggested that Lightfoot was likely using the policy to distract from her inability to handle questions of violence. “Lori Lightfoot presided over an enormous increase in homicides, almost all of them in African American or Latino communities, and she’s hoping these PR stunts get liberal America to give her a pass for failing to save people’s lives,” journalist Zaid Jilani pointed out.

Indeed, on the same day that the mayor’s office announced the policy favoring “black and brown” reporters, Lightfoot aides announced that “a compromise plan to make past police disciplinary records available to the public,” essentially turning down a request from Chicago’s racial justice activists to expand police transparency.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Determines Who Interviews Her Based On Race, Local Reporters Claim

Local media reporters in Chicago are alleging that Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is selecting who gets to do one-on-one interviews with her based on the race of the interviewer.

NBC 5 political reporter Mary Ann Ahern made the initial allegation on Twitter, writing: “As ⁦ @chicagosmayor ⁩ reaches her two year midway point as mayor, her spokeswoman says Lightfoot is granting 1 on 1 interviews – only to Black or Brown journalists.”

Chicago PBS news anchor Paris Schultz responded: “I was told the same thing.”


I was told the same thing.

Chicago PBS political reporter said that she could “confirm” what Ahern was alleging.


I can confirm, alderman

Lightfoot’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire or Fox News.

Australian political commentator Rita Panahi responded to the allegations by writing on Twitter: “More ‘anti-racist’ racism. Almost amusing how regressive race-obsession is celebrated among the Left.”

“Racism in the name of wokeism is still racism,” another commentator said. Another added, “So wouldn’t that make her a racist?”

Progressive writer Zaid Jilani wrote: “Is she going to do some kinda DNA test to assure she upholds this rule?”

“It is unclear when such a practice was enacted and if it only applies to local reporters, particularly after her MSNBC appearance with Stephanie Ruhle on Monday,” Fox News reported. “During her MSNBC interview, Lightfoot told Ruhle she would ‘encourage’ Chicago residents to continue wearing masks despite the new CDC guidance allowing those with the coronavirus vaccine to go without them.”

“I know for me personally, I’m going to continue to wear a mask in public and I’m going to encourage others to do so,” Lightfoot told Ruhle. “We’ve got to make sure that people are continuing to follow the public health guidance that has gotten us this far, and masks, I think, are a big and important part of that.”

Lightfoot said on Tuesday afternoon that her decision to continue to encourage people to wear masks was not based on distrust of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“But I think their guidance last week regarding masks has people confused…We need clarification,” Lightfoot said. “We still have a long way to go to hit the critical mass (of vaccinations) or herd immunity. I don’t want people to have false confidence.”

“To say, ‘If you’re vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask,’ that’s great. But what about all of the other people who are out there that aren’t vaccinated?” Lightfoot added. “There’s no way to know that. So I think for the time being, most people are gonna continue to wear masks outside of their homes.”

White men increasingly embarrassed by John Brennan being a White man

Former CIA Director John Brennan said that he was increasingly embarrassed over his own "whiteness." Maybe he knows something about himself that we don't know, but one thing is clear, we on the White don't care for his insincere lament, or even the effeminate way he speaks on MSNBC.

Brennan claims that men of his race act in embarrassing ways. We play violent sports like football, LaCross and extreme frisbee. We hunt; we fish; we love femininity and we believe there are only two sexes and the concept of gender refers mostly to words that languages attribute to them. [The Spanish word pollo for "chicken"  is masculine in spite of chickens being female, or chicks, as it were.]

And yes, some White men are gay, but they know they are men who love other men, just like those women who know they are women and love other women. Having your genitalia mutilated, or wearing a dress, or getting hormone injections, doesn't change your sex.

"I’m increasingly embarrassed to be a White male these days, when I see what my other White males [are] saying," Brennan told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, who chuckled at the racist comment.

Wallace, Brennan, and Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) were arguing that Republicans had lied about what happened during the Capitol Hill riots on Jan. 6, much like CNN lied about the severity of the riots in Portland, New York, Seattle, and Chicago, calling them "mostly peaceful" as fires raged and looting took place behind reporters as they spoke on camera.

"It just shows that with very few exceptions, like Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, there are so few Republicans in Congress who value truth, honesty, and integrity," Brennan, who is and knows a liar when he hears one, said. "And so, they'll continue to gaslight the country the way that Donald Trump did," he ironically added, attributing these RINOs with a 'strange new respect.'

When people judge people by their skin color or any other immutable attribute, they generally are themselves what they are labeling others. Psychologists call this projection.

As a White man, and perhaps I speak for many White men, I am embarrassed to have John Brennan in my race. He is a disgusting racist and rejects the tenets of the American spirit.

Lena Dunham apologizes, sort of

Mentally impaired "actress" Lena Dunham is taking back her comment she made on her podcast "Women of the Hour" in which she said: " . . . I still haven't had an abortion, but I wish I had." 

The reason she's taking it back is obviously due to the huge backlash she received from normal human beings who, even if they don't oppose abortion, see it as something not to wish for and viewed her remark as offensive.

Dunham explained in an Instagram post that her "latest podcast episode was meant to tell a multifaceted story about reproductive choice in America."

She hoped that by using a big word, 'multifaceted' people would be fooled into believing she is intelligent.

"I truly hope a distasteful joke on my part won't diminish the amazing work of all the women who participated [in the podcast]. My words were spoken from a sort of 'delusional girl' persona I often inhabit, a girl who careens between wisdom and ignorance . . . and it didn't translate. That's my fault. I would never, ever intentionally trivialize the emotional and physical challenges of terminating a pregnancy."

But she did, so that's a lie.

And her cop-out is to pretend she has multiple personality? "Delusional girl"? 

No wonder this woman was big on Hillary Clinton. They're cut from the same pitchfork.

She's no better than the MTV racists and sexists who attack all white men and after the backlash say it was a joke.

Go to hell, Dunham and MTV .  .  .  just joking.
