What is the Fourth of July to THIS Negro? It is an opportunity to express my gratitude to every single person who has ever followed, liked, shared, cajoled, challenged, and joked with me in this space. Today is my last day engaging and posting here.

A caller accused @karenhunter of being racist. Her response?
"Define racism."
The caller couldn't give a clear answer, and what followed was a lesson in critical thinking and accountability.

Today’s media environment in a nutshell:
The original poster — if it’s even a real person — didn’t know I haven’t worked at ESPN since 2018. I clearly responded with sarcasm.

And now there are several AI-generated/aggregated websites “reporting” that I resigned from ESPN on Twitter yesterday.
This is why telling people to Google information doesn’t work.
