Don Lemon Thinks White Reporters Should Be Able To Say N*gger

[SunZoo]

You went astray here at the end. Obama's statement was that not using that word does not mean racism is over. You literally just agreed with him and then claimed that by using it in his example that he is somehow the problem. That does not make much sense. Obama literally urged that word alone is not the problem and the media focused on that word and you blamed him.

You took it the wrong way then, I wasn't blaming him AT ALL. He is a smart man and said what he said deliberately and for good reason.

I'm saying THEY are blaming him for "shaming the oval office" because him calling out the subliminal, undercurrent of racism in "post-racial" America where thug is the new ****** severely damages the image the Media is fighting so hard to project.

I agree with him whole hardheartedly, I just understand why it's become such a big deal.

The video I was talking about, where you had that black lady who was a "conservative" calling him the "rapper in chief", the white reporter immediately jumped to talking about how Obama is suggesting that white folks only avoid saying ****** out of politeness. He's offended that someone is pointing out the covert nature of modern day racism and how irrelevant how much you do or don't say that word is to your thoughts, actions and deeds.

Dude was boiling inside at the mere suggestion that "Americans" (white folk) are more afraid of looking like racists than actually being one...but that is indeed the case, that's a huge part of the problem IMO.

I was talking to my homeboy to day how the worst thing you could probably call a white person in America is a RACIST It's almost a racial slur in it's own right in this day and age.

That will get a white man flustered a hell of a lot quicker than "cac" "cracker" or any other silly name you could reach for. Nobody wants to address the shyt, and I understand...I really do, but we won't get this shyt out of our system until we begin having honest, rational conversations about it.

I think some of yall are missing the point because you don't like him.

Tip toeing around that word...and racism in general is part of the reason why we are going through the cycle again. If we are to truly begin to process this shyt out of our system it can't be tip toed around, or coded, it has to be called wtf it is.

This is how you end up with "urban" and "thug" being used in the media in regard to black folks, making it look like the people involved or covering it have a different agenda than dehumanizing black folk while playing within the "social norms" that say it's no longer acceptable to be racist in public. It gives institutions and media outlets an out when it comes to their behavior.

It's become less appealing to be seen as a racist than it is to actually be one....Donald Sterling ain't on record saying the "n-word" throughout his ordeal that lost him his team, yet he has done more real harm to black people than 99% of random rednecks who have no qualms about letting it fly. That is the effect of demonizing the word to the degree that actual racists can hang their hat on not saying the word while doing shyt that completely eclipse whatever cultural sting it may have however many years after it's become such a taboo.

That's what those two black reporters who were debating the issue (not this video) didn't get, nor did the white dude. I wish I could have been on that panel and interrupted both of those fukking idiots to really break down how bigots being more "polite" about their bigotry out of fear of being publicly shamed is what's helping to keep the shyt alive.

At some point public lynchings stopped being P.C. Even racist whites were like "I don't like ******s...but public mutilation? Who's gonna clean this up? This isn't very good PR guys"

I've even seen some of those st0rmfr0nt idiots make it seem like they are mad at Dylan Roof for what he did. Not because they care about the innocent lives, but because it's a PR disaster for them and their cause. Obama putting that word on the table is bad PR for America, because Americas public image, especially concerning race is a crock of shyt.

this man gets it

Wow you're tough buddy

Guns are cool
Still black btw
And I don't even like Don Lemon.

 

[Londilon]

CNN is absolute trash. Actually all news is absolute trash. I rather browse twitter and find out what the next technology is coming out than listen to a bunch of people pretending to care about issues they dont give a care about. They wouldnt even be talking about this if it didn't give them ratings.

 

[Tommy Knocks]

This dude has must been horrible lately. It doesn't seem like he used to be that bad, but lately he's just an awful person. All these cases of violence against blacks, all these instances of police brutality, the protests, etc.. and his concern is about giving somebody a pass to use the n-word?



He could at least address Obama's actual comments and the point of what he said. But nope, he's more worried about whether not being able to use the n-word might hurt some white person's feelings.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Does Tom Joyner fukk with this c00n anymore?

 

[MostReal]

If someone called him a fakkit on air he'd lose his mind.

Someone seriously needs to challenge him on that via Twitter or face to face

All that is cool but that fakkit Lemon gotta go

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Go where? If he goes to hell he'd be in a wonderland of fakkits just like him so you aren't punishing him at all.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

I don't understand the outrage over Obama using it in its context (which is what Lemon was saying). People are more focused on the word then the actual story Obama was telling. And that is crazy in itself.

Pretty sure Dave Chapelles skits would be a little weird if he said "nword" instead of ******. Obama was telling a story and said something along the lines of "and white people down there shouldn't be openly calling folks ******". white people are going bananas he said the word ****** and not the actual context. this is like some twilight zone shyt.

The troll thing for whites to do nowadays is become outraged over our use of nikka...pretty much to open up a dialogue on how black people have privileges that they don't ( )

Me and 4 other brehs at my job got reprimanded and put on final notice because she(our store manager,but we know it was some white bytch who wears dreads and works register ) heard us say nikka on our smokebreaks. bytch was really tryna shame us into not saying the word too. I could tell she was going to head into that "well what if I said it" direction but she backed off and just gave us final warnings

Whites being outraged is just them once again trying to paint themselves as victims

"If we were to say it we'd be shamed,fired,potentially attacked labeled racist!!

"

It's lowkey whites trying to paint black people as the aggressors who are racist against "innocent whites who aren't racist because slavery ended a long time ago"

It's funny,but also sad and scary at how alot of cacs are upset at privileges they feel are slipping away,while also claiming that privilege doesn't exist, ( ). They see our issues with race in this country as a joke,cacs being upset over nikka is pretty much them trolling on some "see we can complain,and get things changed too"

 

[Citi Trends]

you c00ns agreeing with lemonade
reporters aren't saying or arguing about saying any of the other lesser slurs so why the fukk do we have to agree and be the guinea pig for this bullshyt

[duncanthetall]

Does Tom Joyner fukk with this c00n anymore?

Tom Joyner used to fukk with this c00n? No fukking way
