Hershel Walker is calling for CNN to fire Don Lemon for his racist criticism of Kanye West. That is exactly what CNN will do, unless they want to confirm what millions of people already know, that CNN is a promoter of racism and blatant racial inequality in their broadcasting practices.
Football legend-turned-activist Herschel Walker is calling for CNN to fire Don Lemon after the “CNN Tonight” host laughed when rapper Kanye West was referred to as “the token negro of the Trump administration" during a segment that aired Tuesday night.
The segment -- which has been slammed as "racist" -- began with Lemon asking if President Donald Trump is simply “using Kanye as a prop to win over black voters before the midterms.”
Walker, who has openly supported Trump, is also an outspoken advocate for mental health issues – which were also mocked during the segment. Walker took to Twitter to express his disbelief.
Have you really never heard of Hershel Walker? If not, you must not be a sports fan and you are also likely quite young.
I’m a Vikings fan, so trust me I’ve heard of him. His trade to the Vikings is commonly listed as one of the worst trades in NFL history and hamstrung the team for a decade. Meanwhile Dallas was smart enough to unload his deadweight and went on to a dominant decade. I laugh at this ‘legend’ label.
What exactly was so 'racist' about what Lemon said?
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?
