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

[Ajackson17]

Blacks experienced racism, poverty, and violence way before rap music.

Whites will hate blacks regardless. Rap music didnt make whites kidnap/purchase Africans to bring them to the US. Racism did. Rap didnt make Europe Colonize and massacre Africans. Racism did. What rap song made whites drive Native Americans to near extinction? What rap song made whites turn against the BLack revolutionaries in Cuba? What rap song made blacks 3/5th of a person in the US?

Oh thats right. They're just fucking racist.

This guy is an idiot and anybody who buys into that bullshit. WHITES are the problem. Period. Not because I said so. But because common sense and historical facts prove it.

He's an idiot for wanting African Americans to do better??

You obviously (and intentionally) missed the point of my post so STFU...read it again...then speak. Thanks.

Blacks "doing better" via Hip-Hop music is the most retarded shit in the world. Fuck do better dumbass...THINK BETTER.

Peace.

You're right. White people are the problem. They force us to perpetuate stereotypes that they put out there. You make reference to all of these horrible Eurpoean genocides and I am definitely not excusing them. Im one to argue that we should do everything in our power as a race to break away from White bondage via starting and maintaining our own busineses, neighborhoods, etc. But to neglect the genocide we're inflicting on ourselves is dangerous at best and fantastically detrimental at worst. Again, if you could highlight ANYHTHING in Lemon's segment that was idiotic, I'd love to hear it.

Each group of people kill each other. This is a human problem not a black specific problem.

But this is a site catered to a vast majority of Blacks. Blacks are the ones that bear the brunt of issues from the legal system, so it is indeed OUR problem. In relation to our numbers in America and the rate at which we kill one another, we are killing each other at a much higher rate then others. Let's be real, bruh

Not necessarily we kill each other more at higher rates, it's just more reported that we kill each other, whites are murdered by the thousands, but sometimes its considered something different from a homicide to keep the numbers lower. Manipulation of numbers and also this is a poor mans ideology. Sagging clothes, looking nice, educated and etc is not going to do nothing until a economic boom for blacks and gaining industries and etc. That's what MLK was going towards, the root of it all.

Bearing the blunt of the problem won't change if blacks decided to stop all of this. They will go after us in another angle. Morals don't mean nothing to laws, they are not created out of morality but control.

So are you arguing that there is NOT an epidemic of young black men killing each other?? I don't care about what whites are doing to each other, if we're being honest. I also, don't understand how you're suppose to solve the problem by not changing the behavior. Are you suggesting that education is not a solution to the ills that plague the black community?? Dressing in a manner that would make you more attractive to potential employers is a bad thing?? Please clarify your statements

Education makes anybody better who understand and can practically use the information and discuss it at academia levels. That's the importance of education and it makes a people better, but it will not change our image until we actually take over. It's not about good jobs and professionalism, its about power and control and manipulation. Like I said sociopaths run this world and it's obvious.

The killings are an epidemic to us as a people, that is true only to us because we are not use to our people killing each other like this. Other people yeah they are use to it. The sickness is not at the root of us is what I'm trying to say, education will fix some of the problems and sort us out, hip hop music is not the root but a story being told what is happening not what is going to happen.

 

[Undefeatable]

It's sad because there Is nothing the black youth do that the white youth dont also do but fuckin Wolf Blitzer isn't out here saying what white people need to do.

Outbid wedlock babies? Yep whites do it too and celebrate it on TV no less. Sagging pants? Yep they do that too. Listening to rap? Hell yeah white kids listen to rap, in fact Lil Wayne wouldn't be the #1 rapper on the planet if it wasnt for white kids but black folks are always told to shoulder the load.

That's why this is bullshit. Don Lemon wouldn't fix his face to say white kids shouldn't do any of this stuff either, bill-o is complaining because, as usual, he see that what's cool to blacks becomes cool to white kids too. He's playin a racist angle and people feeding into it. As always they tryna cover it up as "constructive criticism" but the same shit is NEVER said bout white kids who do the same shit.

Stupid post.

Where will this so called economic boom come from if we all come to business meetings saggin and sayin "my nigga" every other word. People want respectable people in charge of thier money and livelihood not gangstas and goons.

Then why do you put your money in the banking systems because it's not held by reputable people, but oh I guess they wear suits they must be respectable.

 

[white715]

I guess Cube was cooning when he made this

 

[playmaker88]

So we gon act like more and more black ppl going to college, making money, getting degrees and making right decisions in life..

Muthafuckas always wanna focus on the bad instead of the good, and that's where the real problem is in society.

Sorry but this is retarded...

He said the real problem in society is focusing on the fucked up shit. And you niggas cosigned/goat'd him..

nah the real problem in society is the fucked up shit.. and no one posted this?.

People who wear suits might not always be respectable people, but thier appearance is and thats all that really matters to most people. If you look the part, people will assume you can play the part (uniforms, look it up).

Then that's the whole freaking reason why people are getting played left and right!!! That's the whole weakness so why is there no movement to change that but it's always black people who have to change for society? When they are obviously not the problem in society but dummies who don't look at character but look at the outward appearances.

 

[Rasta.]

Riddle me this all against Don Lemon, why is it that minorities from other countries set foot on this land and are able to have better education and jobs than our brothers born and raised here? Simply put, we're lazy! Not saying all but the majority are which contributes or affirms to the stereotypes. Some forumer talking about white people do it too so we need to focus on them...#foolish thoughts

 

[G.Avant]

I agree with Lemon wholeheartedly. I mean why can't hip hop display such esteemed values and upstanding morals as say rock and pop music? I mean the gangster thug culture wasn't even glorified in America until hip hop came about right? The gangsters of old times had better values because they'd murk your ass with a suit on, why can't our people murk each other with suits on? If only hip hop would go away then all the black communities ills would be alleviated......

Sike!! GTFOHWTBS!! Don Lemon and any other negro that cosigns him need to commit dat asap. I mean hip hop does have an over saturation of bullshit, but to say that it's the reason black people are stereotyped negatively and it's responsible for all the woes of the community is complete bs. In fact in a lot of ways it's the reverse, the negatives of hip hop are concentrated on because of the fact that it's largely black. The fact that people choose to ignore all the positives and demonize a whole genre shows ignorance. How often do you see positive shit in mainstream American culture as a whole? The fuck out of here with that shit, some of these confused ass niggas might go for that, but I'm damn sure not one of them.

Question about this fabled "economic boom" you speak of, since white people are so bad to us and hold us down so hard. Where would this boom

come from, since according to you we cant do anything ourselves.

Maybe if they gave all of us helpless defensless negroes reparations for slavery we can have this magical black economic boom

This economic boom once we take the values of Marcus Garvey and his plans and connect with the different groups of African descent around the world. Understand Marcus Garvey principles and understanding on how to work in this world. Racism is global and to defeat a global evil, you must combat it with a global unity which involves economics, culture similarities, love towards one another, and etc. You have to realize it's not just one country but a global phenomenon that is a poison. It's not the big and bad white man, it's about his poisonous ideology of superiority belief and which entails controlling certain aspects of human livelihood which we must combat.

this clown........tap dancing on a national media outlet

 

[desertrain10]

funny how in spite of the supposed "disintegration of the african-american family" there has been a rise in college enrollment rates among african americans and a decline in teen pregnancy and crime rates ....what to make of that?

and it's even funnier how these arguments of lemon and his supporters really only apply to low income and poor blacks. if you're rich you can be born out of wedlock, sag your pants, curse, do drugs, say nigga, etc without the same repercussions

hmmmmm... so could the actual problem be poverty? or the war on drugs which has ravaged many of black neighborhoods? an inept public school system? lack of affordable health care and housing? food desserts? lack of jobs? institutionalized racism? etc

and even then if you are rich/middle class and black you still are met with suspicious stares from everyone to the police to your next door neighbor just because of your skin color

smh...

black AND white people need to do some soul searching....

and CNN, FOX when are you going to seriously talk about the considerable damage done to our environment and economy by these white run corporations, the conservative politicians that support them, and the white conservative base that supports them....

 

[G.Avant]

Don't tell me negros are in here making the same stupid argument defending hip hop.

Listen, for the last time, just because something was a problem before rap doesn't mean that rap can't contribute to it.

Rap is one of the worse things to happen to blacks in America in recent times.

Really? A whole genre of music though? The whole genre? No redeeming qualities whatsoever right? You done ate that white folk rhetoric up lmao

People often only say something about IC members when it is negative, so let me say something positive for a change.

@Ioniz3dSPIRITZ is one of the most thoughtful, honest and courageous posters on here. I had seen signs of this when I was on the IC a few years ago, but the evidence is clearer now. The guy has the potential to be a real leader. (And I don't mean a leader on the IC. ha ha.) If he decides to go this route, I would just recommend that he read widely; there are few, if any, single books which contain the whole truth.

Those are realistic goals to accomplish. What are you talking about? It's the same as whitness which has been realized to every white person in the world. What we are doing is the same thing but without racism supporting it. That's the difference. The jews have done the same thing. Those are realistic goals, so what's not practical about it when he has been replicated many times?
