Jemele Hill Says White Identity Would Win Her a Higher-Paid Job Despite No Qualifications

Summary
Jemele Hill wrote on Threads over the weekend that if she “woke up white tomorrow,” she would apply for “a job with a great salary” despite having “no qualifications” and still get hired.
The post came in response to a prompt asking Black people what they would do if they became white, framing Hill’s broader claim that being white in America would bring her better work and higher pay.
Clay Travis, founder of OutKick, answered Sunday with a string of posts arguing Hill already earns more than most white peers and rejecting her view that racism works against Black Americans of her generation.
The exchange extends Hill’s long-running public commentary on race and media, again putting her at the center of a polarized debate over privilege, hiring and DEI in U.S. sports and news circles.
