Last week, Bill O'Reilly went on a racist, fact-less rant
about the number of Black babies being born out of wedlock. He then said Black
people commit the most crime in America
What O'Reilly purposely didn't mention in his baseless rant is that more than 35% of Caucasian children are born out of wedlock and that Caucasian men commit crimes against other Caucasian men in almost the same proportion as Blacks.
But in step, CNN Anchor, Don Lemon supported O'Reilly and didn't think O'Reilly went far enough.
Was Don Lemon speaking out and providing effective solutions to the problems in the Black communities before O'Reilly started spewing his buffoonery? No. Don Lemon doesn't spend any significant time on his show talking about those in the Black and Latino communities each day--365 days-a-year creating and implementing solutions to stopping Black-on-Black and Latino-on-Latino crime. Nor does he highlight the mentoring efforts to the youth in making better life decisions. Don Lemon is entitled to his opinion, albeit, foolishly flawed but his opinion, nonetheless.
Equally, embarrassing was Lemon's cookie cutter asinine 5 basic principles of being a successful Black person:
1. Pull you pants up
2. Finish your education
3. Stop using the N-word
4. Fix your communities
5. Stop having babies out of wedlock
Here are some stats that Mr. Lemon should keep in mind:
1. Guns are more accessible in the Black communities than food and shelter.
2. Unemployment in Black communities is as high as 25-30 percent.
3. As schools are closing, the penal system is the new education system forAmerica
4. Black youth homelessness is at its highest now than at any other time inU.S.
Violence, poverty and apathy have engulfed our communities for some time now, and Don Lemon has been glaringly silent. When he finally has an opportunity to speak what does he do? He supports and validates an individual who gleefully bathes in the waters of racism, bigotry, xenophobia and hypocrisy.

EXCELLENT PIECE!!
ReplyDeleteThe hypocrisy is frustrating. The only way WE move forward in society is when Blacks, Whites, and all other races stop alienating and condemning each another and start working together to solve the issues that are affecting ALL OF US!!!
