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

[NoCompetition]

Haha. so he said Bill o reily didnt criticize "black culture" enough. What a useless statement. If Bill oreily does, there will be the attention he seeks for a day or two then everybody will move on. There is nothing here.

I was raised in a single parent home, well my father was always around but I am a god so I know everything so....

And you talking about drug dealing and your name is half a brick, lookie at who lacks critical thinking skills themselves. Pot and Kettle meet.

Nothing you said even makes sense and you never directly broke down my argument

 

[Star Nine]

I've always found the "we're taking the power out of the n-word by using it" stuff funny.

if this is aimed at black people then you should because we are such hypocrites. and the people in this thread cant even seen it

 

[Star Nine]

this is the reason the black race will never progress

 

[damobb2deep]

When we mention that we should take a deep look at ourselves it isn't to improve white people's narrative about us. It is to improve ourselves for ourselves. It's evident that we as black people find it impossible to look at self improvement without bringing whites into the equation. This is why when someone brings up a point that pertains to us, you'll hear the classic "well whites do it too" argument. As if two wrongs ever equated to a right.

By constantly referencing the "ways" of white people anytime a flaw is pointed out you have in fact placed white people as the archetype of what is considered the norm and acceptable. The social ills that plague our community are of no benefit to us as a people. We shouldn't desire to change ourselves to be accepted by whites. We should want to change ourselves because it will benefit us in the long run.

As a collective whole we should be thinking independently of white America. And if America in general is headed in a downward spiral of social decadence we should be fighting to change the tide with our people first and foremost.

This is the main reason i stopped responding in this thread...it's sickening to read the deflection our people take when we're criticizing our own. They keep on referencing that whites have flaws too etc etc...we don't give a fuck about them!

lol the argument that " Whites, Asian, Latino, middle eastern etc. do it to" is 2 show that HUMANS as a whole do certain things so pointing the finger at blacks for having a certain flaw that humans have as a whole is backward don't u think?

who cares what the pillow bitter has to say

This is not the reason why black people won't progress and they are progressing you dumb shit. People are so dumb and they lack education, history, politics, economics, systems, government, and etc to realize this issue is deeper than what Don Lemon said which was all said in this post. Explain why these people who have pulled their pants up, not making children out of wedlock, do not sell drugs, have degrees, have manners and respect but having a harder time than their white counterparts to find a job even with more experience.

A white man with a criminal record has more of a chance than a educated black man with no record at all to getting a job before him.

And you wondering why blacks are not doing well, good god you lack critical thinking.

Yall do know the certain "niggaz" he's talking about dont watch no dam CNN & know nothing about his rant right?

He is going to try to exclude you since you are in the Air Force, lol. Make stupid rhetoric and asked you why you do this, don't you feel more self esteem in your blues vs when you sag.

Side note - do they still do those blues mondays, god i hated those days. it made the whole week sour.

lol yea they still do blues Mondays... but they don't enforce it like they did when it 1st started..

Don lemon lacks critical thinking skills as well and most of white america.

lol at you flagging me. Black people do lack critical thinking skills and this is a FACT. We all know what crack and other drugs did to the black communities yet you have people of power in the black community glorifying selling using drugs everyday. I see people bitch about how the drug laws are tough but yet black people cannot stop selling the shit

You do know most everyday black people aren't in the entertainment industry or drug dealers or criminals right? You do know that most black people EARN a living right? There are people of all races who lack critical thinking skills, and the problem is that people can lump all black people in one category over and over and get away with it. Why are we all under the same fucking umbrella? Skin color determines the ability to think critically? So melanin determines that? And that's a "fact"? Stop it.

oh okay, good, that was horrible when they started doing that again.

 

[Ajackson17]

The fool doesn't even know that melanin is considered intelligence which is responsible with the pineal gland.

 

[Meta_Conscious]

rappers r villified so that wall of text was for nothing...

By whom? Defintely not by the majority of the black.community, honestly i hate to say.that because it goes so much deeperbut i dont really feel like typing a titabgraph

Ignore spelling im on his cheap ass phone

actually... yes... the majority of black ppl do not support negative hip hop... u cant prove otherwise...

thats like saying most blacks do crime... most blacks are decent law abiding citizens... #fact

 

[usmarin3]

I hate people who make blanket statements and generalizations. White kids sag too, all those skater kids sag and wear baggy clothes. It's a fact that more blacks are going to college now than any period ever, our generation is more educated than any other generation.

I'm also sick of us having to compromise to appease white people and make them comfortable. It's not addressing the issue of racism and white people superiority complex. Obama is a Harvard graduate and it's still people who look down on him like the 15 year old black kid who sags and isn't educated.

This. Why should anyone have to dress or act in a manner that meets someone else's approval? So they can differentiate a "regular" black person from a "thug"? Foh if black skin makes you uncomfortable that's on you.

I was raised to talk a certain way and act a certain way, but then you start to think about it, it's all so white people can separate you from the "other". That's a fucked up way to think. To mold a whole persona in order for someone else's approval. Which, btw, isn't given off the bat, because if someone is racist, they're racist. You can act as white as you want, you're still a nigger to them.

Are you arguing that talking or acting in an articulate way is in some way less black than talking and acting urban?? That is a real question. If that is what you are arguing, my question to you is what does it mean to be black in America?? A large part of our Black identity in America has been molded by White culture, whether you like it or not. Fact is many Black kids get their fashion tips from rappers.

Another fact is that many of these rappers get their personas from white executives that feel they know how to market to black consumers. Hell, you have black chicks right now that model their whole wardrobe after Nikki Minaj - a chick that considers herself "Barbie" smh.

I agree that people keep trying to make this a White issue, which is unfortunate, but if that's what we're going to do, lets address it. I believe White people are innately racist, period. I don't believe that there is a white person in this world that, when faced with the fear of truly being equivalent to blacks, wont revert to racist ways. With that said, fuck them! Now, how do WE go about addressing OUR problems?? That's what I got from Lemon's statements. You can disagree, but as another poster stated, consistently flagging posts you don't agree with discourages positive dialogue
