Pretty tame stuff but it ignited some pretty ugly comments from the Left in response including from our delusional friends on MSNBC.
Quote:
“Bill’s got a point,” Lemon said. “In fact, he’s got more than a point…In my estimation, he doesn’t go far enough.”
Lemon then listed five essential reforms black men need to make in their lives in order to improve themselves and their communities: hike up their pants, remove the n-word from their vocabulary, take care of their communities, finish high school, and lower the rate of children born out of wedlock.
“More than 72% of children in the African Americans are born out of wedlock,” Lemon said. “Studies show that lack of a male role model is an express train right to prison, and the cycle continues.”
“Please, pay attention to and think about what has been presented in recent history as aceptable behavior,” Lemon finished. “Pay close attention to the hip hop and rap culture that many of you embrace, a culture that glorifies everything I just mentioned, thug and reprehensible behavior, a culture that is making a lot of people rich—just not you. And it’s not going to.”
“That said, though, the political right is not off the hook.” Lemon played a clip of Kirsten Powers remarking on how convenient it was the conservative media only cares about black violence when they can use it to “stick it to the black community.”
Some good points are made in the linked segment BUT you have to be cautious when criticizing black culture in the presence of white supremacists. Billy does not have the best interest of the black community in mind when he brings up this subject. So cosigning what he's saying is not in the interest of black folks! Don Lemon has a point but we should NEVER even consider the opinions of people like Bill O'Reilly because he is a great deceiver. He mixes truth with lies to influence behavior to his advantage...

Are you really saying that Bill O'Reilly is a white supremacist?
Bill O'Reilly and Don Lemon are absolutely correct. It seems the only people to not understand this are apathetic black people.
I'm curious to know what black people YOU personally know that don't understand what's being talked about... We in the black community know what the problems are and we're slowly but surely climbing out despite opposition by white conservative know it alls...

Many white supremacist are his audience. That's who he plays to. Anti Mexican immigration, anti black, you name it and he's for it. You don't have to be in the Klan to stoke fear of what's different!
The general black community hasn't realized this yet.
Just keep ignoring their problems.
How many black friends do you have? I'm curious because you're speaking about "The general black community" but I seriously doubt you're involved or informed about the subject you feel so strongly about... Yes they're problems but can someone who is an outsider without firsthand knowledge diagnose what's wrong? It's hard at best and impossible at worst alphamale!
