Jemele Hill may leave X due to ‘name-calling racists’

This week, LeBron James announced—they always have to announce—that he’s taking a hiatus from social media. But Jemele Hill has urged him to take it a step further and “deactivate” his X account entirely.

“Twitter has pretty much become unsustainable. Selfishly I hope he deactivates his account,” Hill wrote on X. “This app is full of racists.”

Hmm.

Apparently, Hill is toying with the idea of ​​deleting X herself. She told her followers that she now spends most of her time on Bluesky, where leftists have turned since the election in protest of Elon Musk’s support for Donald Trump.

Specifically, Hill is fed up with random trolls calling her mean names on the platform.

“What I find funny is that the people who throw around the ‘snowflake’ term are the weakest people,” she replied to another random user. “Sorry, that’s not a challenging ideology; calling someone a cunt 100 times a day. And Musk also changed the blockchain features on the platform. And again, no one owes you commitment.”

Earlier this week, we covered ESPN’s Mark Jones announcing — go figure — his departure from X because the app had become “too hateful.” Speaking of hate, Jones had posted tweets calling MAGA women “skanks,” told Rush Limbaugh to “rot in hell” the day his wife announced he had died of lung cancer, and called Queen Elizabeth a “racist” on day she died and falsely accuses police officers of trying to kill him. He also shared a post calling out “white people’s demonic forces of evil.”

Yet Jones is the one who says X is “too hateful.”

Jemele Hill deserves the same type of derision as Jones. Here she whines about “racist” and “name-calling” trolls just two weeks after spending a weekend having a racist meltdown on X.

It started with her attacking former race car driver Danica Patrick for voting for Donald Trump. Hill called Patrick’s voting decision “unhinged” and an example of why she “doesn’t trust white women” in America. She has previously said that “white women report to duty” on Election Day.

Hours later, Jemele turned her focus to white men. She called white men “the worst (sic) in America for decades” and deserved “consequences.”

One could argue that calling an entire race “the worst in America” ​​constitutes “racist.” Or maybe even “name-calling”.

Oh, but there’s more.

Hill warned his supporters that the police would be able to treat black Americans illegally with impunity if Trump was elected. (Huh?) She argued that black people should be able to refer to whites as “thugs” but that white people can’t retaliate. She amplified several posts smearing Caitlin Clark’s supporters as “white and racist.” She previously dared Spotify, her employer at the time, to pay a black podcaster $100 million to show they didn’t favor Joe Rogan. Heck, Jemele even accused the state of Alabama of “racism” for punishing Carlee Russel, a black woman who tricked the police into a manhunt by faking her own kidnapping.

The list goes on and on and on.

Trolls are saying “mean things” to Jemele Hill because her social media profile is filled with racial hysteria, false accusations of racism and – often – blatant racism directed at white people.

What do she and Mark Jones expect? That they can just spread hate and racism and no one is going to push back, that the trolls won’t respond with a similarly vicious tone?

Furthermore, Hill has made millions of dollars by convincing guilty white male leaders to let her use their platform to “fight racism.” TNT is the latest network to give her a show (it’s failing in the ratings).

Her grief has made her rich. She plays a character. So why is she so worried about what @jimbobtim2211 says?

Still, if Hill moves his racist posts and sadness to Bluesky, X will be just fine.
