There were only two black male anchors on CNN: Don Lemon and Victor Blackwell. Blackwell got demoted back to weekends, and Don Lemon got demoted for months, then unceremoniously fired.

CNN must stand for See No nikkas. :mjpls:
Did you feel well represented by Don Lemon?

They must've fired him after he left the building b/c they knew he'd cause a scene :russ:

I found him unbearable

I know he got in some huge fight with some female anchor within the last few months but never cared enough to read about it

This is admittedly a popular black talking point.

I don't want to insinuate that we don't have it harder than most races in 2023, but to compare and equalize our struggles with those of blacks 150 years ago really downplays how shytty things were back then & belittles the progress others have fought for over the last century.

You got it confused.

By pointing to the "progress" others have/had fought for black folks over the last century, it is in fact utilized to belittle the fact that black folks have it harder than other races in 2023. Cool we made progress since 150 years ago, but now what?
