Many dems on her only like OTHER RICH dems who married into money.

THEIR being "rich" is OK.

Or other rich dems, like Soros and Tom Steyer.

And we CAN'T leave out all the "rich" dems in Hollywood and Wall St.

It's funny, actually sad, how many on here deride people of success UNLESS it is a dem. And note ALL the RICH campaign "donations".

They certainly have NO problem taking THEIR money!

Hypocrites, to the core!

Went to bed appalled over @donlemon despicable behavior laughing at @TaraSetmayer and @Bakari_Sellers awful remarks about Kanye West’s visit with @realDonaldTrump!! Woke up wondering why @CNN doesn’t take all three off the air?#SHAMEFUL#CNNhttps://t.co/MwGWIfh8so

So....if cnn firs don for laughing at a racist statement, then can we also fire the orange Donnie two scoops for his many many instances of support for racism, sexism, homo-hobia an anti-disability etc etc. ?

And NONE OF IT IS RACIST.

Your problem, is you CAN'T HANDLE REAL CRITICISM!

We CONSTANTLY heard the SAME thing EVERY TIME any white person said anything negative about Obama's policies, RACIST!

By your "reasoning" we could call you a "RACIST" because YOU DARED to say something negative about MANY WHITE people in your post.

Uh-huh.

If a partisan hack like Kavanaugh is qualified to sit on the supreme court, Don Lemon is "qualified" to speak about whatever the heck he wants.

Don't like it?
Don't watch.
"If a partisan hack like Kavanaugh is qualified to sit on the supreme court"

I tell you what, I'll go for getting rid of Kav, IF you AGREE to get rid of Ginsberg Kagen and Sotomayor!

I DOUBT you EVER posted about their "partisanship"!

I wonder why? Hmm!

Oh, that's a great way to fix partisanship....a 1 for 3 trade....

Also, have any of those you mentioned spouted such obvious partisan disdain for the opposition party as did the recent appointee? That alone should have disqualified him to sit for life on the highest court in the land.

It's one thing to be considered conservative or liberal, it's quite another to be blatantly biased during the confirmation process, and survive to be appointed. The system is broken.

Since they say it on a daily basis why don't you give one example of it.

Because the left wants to keep them on the democratic plantation. Easy to buy the vote of poor people with handouts. Minoritites are much more likely to be poor. The party of the Klan and Jim Crow just changed their tactics. Minorities are children so they should be treated like children mentality.

This country allowed me to reform myself and make a change for the better.

My biggest obstacle was my own dysfunction due to my tough family upbringing. Some people are born into worse circumstances than myself but I made it out because I "chose" to make better life decisions and take advantage of opportunities.

The biggest con job perpetrated on black people in this country today is the idea that we're being actively stifled because of racism. It's a catch all term used as a copout for disparities in outcomes, aka an excuse.

I used to think this way because it was all I ever heard from the people around me. Some of us have awakened to the truth and I believe Kanye is one such individual.
Family life has a huge impact.
Single parenthood is the biggest obstacle to success. Children raised by a single parent are normally less educated, make less money, and have a higher rate of criminality.

Way to go Ibanezguitar.
btw I checked out Ibanez Guitar, nice.
