I learned from my failures and I currently don't have any problems that I blame on others. I'm satisfied how my life turned out and I'm optimistic about the future. So me criticizing the white supremacist culture isn't the same thing as blaming problems on others. Close but no cigar "The More You Know"

its not about blame its about change. we need change in our hearts and in our minds. the dream that many of us had and were urged to have by MLK was not 9,000 homicides a year of black on black violence.
pull your pants up and put your gun down. u dont get respect with a gun u get a prison sentence and another dead young man trying to get him some respect.

Big difference between protectionism and racism. If 20,000,000.00 undocumented Russians flooded our country the exact same people would be freaking out.

One thing the left absolutely hates is when a Black, Latino, Woman or Gay doesn't agree with them. Lemon is just pointing out the obvious and it's sad that it's such a revolutionary thing to say. This is the message black leaders and high profile blacks should be sending on a regular basis. It's a message that can actually help. Sadly, there's no room for diversity on the left.

So you now agree with Don Lemon, ok.


Don Lemon Blasts Ben Ferguson on Racial Profiling: Who Are You Saying We Not Having That Experience? - YouTube

You should also watch the video and not go by what the OP has posted. The entire first 2 minutes of the video is Don Lemon correcting FOX.

Also, no, Don Lemon and O'reilly are not correct. The fact that fatherless children in other ethnic groups do better than blacks shows that the problem is farm more complex than the B.S. O'Reilly is peddling.

Its funny, when Don Lemon says something you right wingers disagree with like his other comments on racism and gay marriage, you want to label him a racist. Now that he says something you agree with, he is a saint, LOL. It is hilarious.

Goldie Taylor works for both CNN and MSNBC. I guess you right wingers take every attempt you can to attack the left... even though a couple of days ago you were calling Don Lemon a racist.

It's quite cultish.......if you break off the hive talking points, you get shunned instantly.....I applaud Lemon for his honesty on this issue. Though he too didn't go far enuff!
