Love how they belittle Kanye's his supposed mental issue, smh.

Again, its CNN - a satirical news station nobody should take seriously. Its purely entertainment.

I can already tell it’s fake news.
I can add football to the list of things I know you’re clueless about.

I don't follow football or Georgia, so though I vaguely remember his name, I have no idea what he's doing or really who he is.

But I do believe he is flaming hypocrite or he would have called for Hannity's firing long ago. This is just BS politics.

I would have to agree with Heschal Walker on this one. However since Lemon is also black can you really call it racism? Inappropriate absolutely.

Is he calling for a boycott or just venting?

I don't care either way. Just don't watch.

I'm no fan of Lemon but I'm sure he's only expressing what many feel, that Kanye is some sort of sellout. And right or wrong, I'm also pretty sure Trump is eager to soften his image among black people, hence his eagerness to quickly accommodate Kanye in the White House oval office for a very public media session. Nothing wrong with that, it is what it was.

Plus, Lemon is black, so he has a pass to use terms like 'house negro' and all that.

Just calling it like it is, feel me?

Yes, I listen to Lemon. But I agree. He laughed and..? He is only laughing at what many folks are thinking. We really don't know Kanye's state of mind. If he is having mental illness symptoms we should express compassionate for his situation, not use him as a photo op.

He's a legendary college player, and a bust in the NFL, best known for an infamous trade to Minnesota that built the foundation for two Super Bowl wins by Jimmy Johnson and the Cowboys.

I could care less what he thinks of Don Lemon.

Don Lemon is a racist. He should have been fired a long time ago. The sick thing is he enjoys spewing his hate and he has found the perfect partner in CNN.

On the day he retired only one player in NFL history had more total all-purpose yards than Walker: Walter Payton.

He's now #11 all-time and that's with an extremely offense-friendly league nowadays.
