"Apparently, even being Asian doesn’t mean people won’t take you for being a white nationalist.
ESPN confirmed Tuesday night that it had decided to pull an announcer from calling a University of Virginia football game because his name is Robert Lee. This Robert Lee is Asian."
Unbelievable, just simply, un-****ing-believable!
Like in the movie "The Hateful Eight"....... "
When they asked the Mexican "What's your name?"
"Bob."
I never watch ESPN on tv, but usef to listen to radio quite a bit. I literally can't listen for more than 5 minutes before they start talking about race in some manner or fashion.
Not sure if I buy that or not.
ROTFLMAO!
Good one!
Then there's George Washington Carver, Booker T. Washington, and a lonnnnng list of others.
Better yet, Jesse Jackson! Oh, the irony!
Breaking news: Matthew McConaughey commercial banned in 11 southern states due to cars bearing the brand "Lincoln" being offensive to some viewers.
Dateline 1944: The M4 Sherman tank is being renamed to the Gator in hopes of not offending troops from the southern part of the US.. Gen W. Sherman was a Union Civil War leader known for his ruthless march through the south targeting military and civilian targets and leaving a path of destruction. When this soldier from Mississippi was asked about the issue he said "Huh? We are Americans fighting Germans. I don't care about the name, we are just trying to get that Panzer over there". We'll keep looking for someone who could be offended.

"...With the whole world watching the tragic loss of life and property in Texas, CNN corespondent Drew Griffin decided to play the role of hero and assist in the saving of a man in distress, which on the surface is certainly worthy of applause.
But then the ever watchful eyes of the internet began to pick up on some inconsistencies that point to the whole thing having been a faked set up.
Twitter user referring to himself as RedPill “Journalist/Reporter for Goldwater, Connoisseur of Truth, Logic, Reason” noticed a few strange things about the supposed ‘rescue’ — first and foremost being that Griffin seems to have squeezed in a wardrobe change during the ‘tense seconds’ while saving a man.
See for yourself:

Redpill then took the video and broke it down into byte-sized segments to highlight the obvious fake:
The ensuing Twitter storm was brutal on CNN, deservedly so with one tweeter asking “@realDonaldTrump why are U guys still allowing @cnn a WH press pass?” And with RedPill himself sarcastically pointing out how Griffin was professional enough to keep a microphone on him while saving a man’s life.
Of course this isn’t the first time CNN has been busted faking it. While reporting on the Cleveland kidnapping story in 2013 CNN was busted faking a supposed “satellite interview” between anchor Nancy Grace (allegedly in Cleveland) and reporter Ashleigh Banfield (allegedly in Phoenix) when in fact they were in the same parking lot.
That particular embellishment while embarrassing for the network was nevertheless somewhat harmless. But with the eyes of the world watching the drama unfolding in Texas, with rescuers working themselves to the point of dropping from exhaustion and the sheer scope of human tragedy taking place, the very idea that CNN (or anyone else) would exploit the victims of this disaster is beyond the pale even for that beleaguered outfit.
As Rush Limbaugh’s voiceover guy says, “They used to get away with it.” Used to. CNN just doesn’t seem to be learning. The internet is watching and the more we see, the more we’re believing Trump is right. “You are fake news.”
