Hey Snoop, Michael Eric Dyson Says Honor Kobe Bryant By Not Attacking Gayle King

Social Commentator, Author, and Professor Dr. Michael Eric Dyson of Georgetown University went to Instagram to discuss and admonish those that are attacking Gayle King. In the interview that aired on CBS Morning, King asked former WNBA star Lisa Leslie about the legacy of Kobe Bryant in light of past allegations of assault. Dyson says, “Gayle King and Oprah are NOT our enemies! Let’s honor Kobe by supporting black women!”

One of those that attacked Gayle King was Snoop Dogg. He appeared today on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show. (Full interview below.)

On the other hand, Snoop has gained support from 50 Cent and Bill Cosby!

Oprah Winfrey appeared on the Today Show to report that Gayle King is not doing well following the backlash she has received.

Gayle King's interview has become a hot topic across all media platforms including radio. Updated posts from urban radio at the bottom of this page.

Yesterday, folk were up in arms about Gayle King’s interview regarding Kobe Bryant. One of those people was Snoop Dogg, who referred to her as a “funky dog-faced b****.” My response was simple: criticize King all you want, but do so without the misogyny. Somehow, this position is being deemed controversial. Some even said I was “cooning”!!! How is saying that we shouldn’t call Black women b****es an act of cooning? (Unless, of course, you think Black People=Black Men.) At the end of the day, we have to be able to hold space for multiple things at once. In this case, we have to be able to express our hurt, anger, or even our rage without dehumanizing each other. Thoughts?

Bill Cosby was the same dude telling black men they didn’t deserve any respect because they wore their pants too low, they listened to hip hop, and cussed too much. But please, come to the defense of someone who loved to moralize to our community while raping women.

For those still supporting Bill Cosby, is the first-person account of Beverly Johnson, the first black supermodel, saying Cosby drugged her and attempted to rape her enough for you to stop acting like Cosby is suffering an injustice? https://t.co/ZVoQgiT6qb
