*Remember that side-eye inducing comment made by Fox Sports (FS1)’s Marcellus Wiley that Colin Kaepernick was not qualified to speak on behalf of black folks due to the fact that he’s (Kaepernick) is bi-racial?
Well, former ESPN host and current columnist for “The Atlantic,” Jemele Hill, is comin’ for Wiley over his errant statement.
We know this because a TMZ camera guy caught up to Madame Hill at LAX and asked her what she thought of Wiley’s claim that Kaepernick’s protests were ill-advised and ineffective, and that his tactic of taking a knee during the national anthem was the wrong way to affect change.
Needless to say, Hill was not happy with Wiley’s criticism of Kaep, saying it comes from an “ignorant place.”
“My only disappointment in what Marcellus said is that he pivoted the conversation to kind of an ignorant place,” she said.

Hill also went at Wiley for what she concluded, like a lot of others, as his discounting of Kaepernick’s “blackness.”
“Reasonable minds can differ, so if we have a difference of opinion that’s totally fine. Just don’t pivot it to an ignorant place where we’re talking about somebody’s blackness,” she said.
Hill’s criticism comes after Wiley appeared on The Red Pill Podcast and told host Van Lathan that Kaepernick may not be the best representative of the black experience since he is half white and was raised by a white family.
Hill also had a familiar message for NFL’s owners. She once again is calling them “cowards” for continuing to leave Kaepernick waiting on the sidelines for a tryout.
