Gayle King, co-Host of CBS This Morning just referred to Anquan Boldin as "subhuman"

Posted on 04/28/2016 5:32:06 AM PDT by MrZippy2k

Tell me, if she were White, would she have a job tomorrow? I hope someone who is well versed in Social Media (Twitter and YouTube) not only post a video of the portion of her interview this morning, but blast all through the twitterverse demanding fair treatment for all.

Well then there is the difference, it wasn’t said in derogatory terms. Subhuman in this sense is being used in a positive way to indicate that even with pain he continued to play.

She was asking about him playing in the SuperBown with broken bones and asked if he’s just that dedicated or if he’s subhuman.

She probably meant superhuman and blew it. And nobody set her straight soon enough for a save.

Sounds to me in that context she probably meant to say superhuman, but the wrong word came out.

Yep, beat me to it.

Actually this is the context of her statement, provide by the original poster (Post #16):

She was asking about him playing in the Super Bowl with broken bones and asked if he’s just that dedicated or if he’s subhuman.

A term that would get any White person fired for asking that of a black football player.

Context changes the whole conversation, in my opinion.

The Ravens letting him go after winning the superbowl a few years ago was a yuuuuge mistake.

I hate this “gotcha” nonsense, I have been so glad to see Trump not play into it, and beat it back every time its been played. When someone says something that has clear intent, I am find calling them on it... but something like this, where someone clearly mispoke and its obvious from the context they misspoke, that’s not the end of the world... regardless of which side of the political spectrum they live on and its insane for folks on both sides for trying to turn them into massive incidents.

“What’s an Anquan Bolden?”

Same as a Gayle King! This is just another example of Black on Black crime!

“.... I love watching Gail seethe with anger every time Trump is mentioned. “

I stopped watching it because every time obama was mentioned Charlie and Nora got hardons. Have you ever noticed Nora badgering somebody? She's like a freaking beaver or woodpecker just hacking at them.

Thanks for the idea of looking for the gang gagging. I don't have cable and CBS seems to have more news and less reporting of social media like ABC does.

Yes, she did it today, to Roger Goodel, the football commissioner.

He’s a target. A White male bossing around black men. They want his scalp.
