Jemele Hill’s biggest need in life is pretty obvious: a mute button. If she had one, it would save her a lot of trouble.
On Tuesday night, Hill appeared on CNN with one journalist - Scott Jennings - and a few other mouthpieces for progressive narratives. One of the topics of discussion was men playing in women’s sports, and I have confidence that you already know what Hill’s views on these issues are.
She began a rant about how people who believe there are two genders don’t just want sports to have clearly defined gender spaces, but they want the same for public bathrooms and the military (appalling stuff, truly). Jennings chimed in at that point, saying that 80 percent of Americans wanted measures like this to be taken.
That’s when Hill made the boneheaded claim that there was a correlation between the majority of Americans who want men and women kept separate and the majority of Americans who thought Martin Luther King Jr. was a threat to the country.

"The majority used to believe that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a threat, somebody that was not a good American,” Hill said. “The majority of people used to be against Civil Rights. Were they right? No, they weren’t.”

Is the majority sometimes wrong on an issue? Yes, of course. But on the flip side, the minority on an issue can be wrong too. There is no inherent evil in a majority consensus.
That’s what we have here. A majority of Americans know that men playing in women’s sports isn’t right. Those people are grounded in basic realities about human identity, and the other 20 percent are simply wrong. It's incorrect to claim that the majority is wrong on this issue because the majority was wrong in the past regarding civil rights.
This is where that mute button would have come in handy. We'd better get a team to develop this problem ASAP.
