Jemele and her love of the term White Supremacists

Jemele is extremely fond of the word: white Supremacists. She uses it often and has landed in trouble due to it. Her downfall in her previous job with ESPN started when she called Donald Trump a white supremacist. She had tweeted:

“Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists.”

She feels that the whole Republican party and the whole USA is full of white supremacists. It is not only current America but even those who fought World War II are white supremacists as per Jemele. In October 2020, she had tweeted:

And yes, there’s a white supremacy problem in the police department. Has been for a long time.”
