CNN's Don Lemon goes full on Coon. O’Reilly:‘He Doesn’t Go Far Enough’ In Criticizing Black Culture"

[Purr]

I can't take none of you self-hating negros seriously.

don lemon had came out of the closet for being gay and black America was his strongest supporters in his time of need for being gay.

Now, he decided to "tell black america how not to be black but how to be acceptable to white america" with the backing of Larry Elders and Bill O'Riley.

This house nigga, uncle tom, and coon shit is despicable.

 

[Meta_Conscious]

bottom line, most of the shit he said was garbage... he wasn't cooning per se... he was just being wack and predictable...

You're so concerned with the enemy. FUCK what they think. Unless we're devising a strategy to destroy them, FUCK what they hear. They don't give a fuck about you regardless. Their hate is already rooted deeply, even before taking into account the shit that's being discussed.

Like a few of you all said, Saggin jeans is far from the problem. Whenever white people need to find something they don't like about black people they always equate it with the same slogans, "thug" "gangster" "criminal" etc. And there will always be some blacks who look to the white man for approval so they co-sign whatever he says. They even go as far to look down on there own people for whatever the white man doesn't like about blacks. If sagging your jeans is such a bad thing I would think there would be way more than the absurd number of black males in jail now compared to how many that sag there jeans. It is easy to see how so many look up to the white man for guidance and acceptance when they pray to a white man every Sunday. They don't question that white Jesus so it's natural for them to not question white men.

He made some good points about personal responsibility, but we have to live with the fact that white society expects us to fit in with how they feel we should think, act and feel...if not we are niggers. We arent supposed to have any kind of identity, just follow their blueprints on how to live life. Theres a reason lemon didnt mention the prison industry, biased treatment of blacks in the court system, and the war on drugs which are the roots of most issues black folks have. He didnt have to live that life so he cant relate. We didnt bring drugs into this country, introduce drugs into communities then make the laws give stiffer penalties to ourselves, which has broken up families for generations now. So he cant be taken serious only telling half of the story

 

[manofmorehouse]

I don't understand where everyone is getting this whole "he's appealing to white sentiment" shit from. Why is it that dressing well or being studious is considered appealing to whites?? Why does wanting people to pull their pants up have to be equated with cooning for the white man? So what people that disagree with Lemon are saying is that the things he highlighted are non-issues in the Black community or that he was wrong for voicing these concerns with White America??

 

[Meta_Conscious]

sagging, hip hop, and the "n word" do not cause high rates of poverty, aids, dropping out, single parent homes, incarceration, etc...

so...

 

[damobb2deep]

Dude aint lyin.. I wouldn't call him a coon.. But at the end of the day.. Some of the issue's he mentioned are not just black issues.. These things happen across all ethnicities.. Especially child birth out of wedlock..

this is true... think about the " anti marriage" threads that are always on here.. white posters seem more anti marriage then blacks on here lol..

but building your whole existence on how to make "the enemy" accept you more is not caring what they think?

Who does that, or advocates that? Did you feel like Don Lemon's rant was a "do this so whites will accept you rant" or was it just his opinion?

I agree with your point about us not bringing drugs into our communities, but we destroy our communities by selling them in our neighborhoods. And while there is a disproportionate rate at which we are incarcerated for drug crimes and the penalties we receive compared to our White counterparts, I think you're missing a point. Selling drugs is still a crime, period! We choose to believe that our only form of income has to come from either athletics, rap, or drugs.

On your next point, Blacks should NEVER lose their identity but the problem with our current identity is that it was fed to us through the media. The whole baggy, sagging pants shit and tennis shoes with every outfit is a relatively new phenomenon. Also, we don't have a plethora of black businesses and corporations that would help set a Black identity. Collective wealth is power and influence. And those that we do have, we don't frequent enough to make a difference. So you're left playing a game at which you have to gain employment in Predominately white corporations and have to be presentable.

[Ajackson17]

Next thing white america is going to bitch at us why don't you smile more or why do these negros smile so much and etc. You see the logic now?

 

[jono]

This house nigga, uncle tom, and coon shit is despicable.

That nigga is gay?

Then he really needs to shut the fuck up

 

[powerman 5000]

who the fuck said "black culture" anyway. that's got to be the dumbest shit ever. How can you take someone that thinks there's a "black culture" seriously? Is white culture trailer parks, medicated emo kids, pick up trucks and meth labs? How the fuck can you have an honest conversation with someone when they throw out these subliminals to your face that let you know they look down on you. It has nothing to do with being PC either, since that's a term they like to hide behind. Bill O'reilly's interest lies in protecting himself from blacks, not in sorting out america's problems and it's sad that this stacy dash wanna be ass dude can't see the problem. Even if no black person would ever commit a crime again, there would still be a problem. Look at how they do people like jay-z. he may not have the cleanest past but he got to where he is legally and some white won't let his past go or find something to bitch about. The times up for trying to appease these people, they hated black people before what they considered "black culture" even existed.

 

[Meta_Conscious]

word... that "black culture" shit is ignorant as fuck...

 

[damobb2deep]

So what people that disagree with Lemon are saying is that the things he highlighted are non-issues in the Black community or that he was wrong for voicing these concerns with White America??

its the fact that he came at the situation wrong and over generalized the issues gave " easy fixes" that aint easy/wont fix the problems..

"speak proper English"

ok there was a thread that was made awhile back about a woman who was highly qualified for jobs but wasn't getting any opportunities.. she gave her name and race... she then made another profile on monster.com and she chose not to say her race... still no contacts for a job.. then she made a fake profile saying she was white and got contacts right off the back... same person... same qualifications different races.. think about that...

"pull up yo pants"

I sag my pants.. been doin it 4 years... its comfortable 2 me.. will I wear my work clothes like this naw.. so if he thinks its jus " pulling up our pants" is the only thing keeping us from getting jobs re read the paragraph before again...

"using the word nigga"

ok I use the word nigga all the time its been used 4 hundreds of years 2 describe my race... its not going anywhere its that simple.. and the whole " when blacks say the word u don't get offended" thing is false.. try going up to a black person and call them a " stupid ass nigga" no matter what race u are they will get offended..

" take pride in yo living area"

ok most hoods don't have litter patrol like suburbs do... that's why hoods look trashy cuz they don't have the money 2 keep it clean.. so thinking that people don't litter in the suburbs is all the way false.. and go to any major city im pretty sure its trash everywhere.. New York, EVERY part of it from Brooklyn to Manhattan Queens, Bronx, Staten island are all known 4 being trashy and having rats and shyt... not every body there is black..

So because he's gay, he's incapable of making an input?

No one goes to a job interview with sagging pants and the guys sagging are mostly teenagers.

Who does that, or advocates that? Did you feel like Don Lemon's rant was a "do this so whites will accept you rant" or was it just his opinion?

where does his opinion come from tho. and what does how you dress have to do with whether you are deserving of basic human rights and respects. so if someone is sagging their pants or wearing hoodies, i can automatically disrespect them?

it came off to me as ways to make yourself more agreeable to whites, and my whole point is that there is nothing you can do to make yourself more agreeable to a racist

to be truly not bigoted you judge someone on their character not their appearance

Did he insinuate that one who dresses like that doesn't deserve basic rights?

His talking points are cliche and aren't well placed, which shows he may lack perspective. Those same points are often used by whites so I can see how one would suspect that he's saying "be more agreeable with whites" in an unintentionally veiled way.

If you look sloppy you'll be judged by everyone, not just whites. That doesn't mean people hate you because you sag, but they may find it distasteful to have your boxers exposed as they're halfway wedged in your cheek valley.
