He would get fired from CNN saying this now. Watch the video!
One weird trick? Good Lord, enough already with the worthless one line clickbait excerpts.

LEMON: He is right about that, too. But in my estimation, he doesn’t go far enough. Because black people, if you really want to fix the problem, here’s just five things that you should think about doing. Here’s number five, and if this doesn’t apply to you, if you’re not doing this, then it doesn’t apply to you, I’m not talking to you.
Here’s number five. Pull up your pants. Some people, a lot of them black, gave me flak for saying that recently on “The Wendy Williams Show.”
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
LEMON: If you’re sagging, I mean — I think it’s your self-esteem that is sagging and who you are as a person it’s sagging. Young people need to be taught respect and there are rules.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
LEMON: Sagging pants, whether Justin Bieber or No-name Derek around the way, walking around with your ass and your underwear showing is not OK. In fact, it comes from prison when they take away belts from the prisoners so that they can’t make a weapon. And then it evolved into which role a prisoner would have during male-on-male prison sex. The one with the really low pants is the submissive one. You get my point?
Number four now is the n-word. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JAY-Z, RAPPER: For our generation what we did was we took the word and we took the power out of that word.
CHRIS ROCK, COMEDIAN/ACTOR: We took this word, and we made it into poetry.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
LEMON: I understand poetic license, but consider this: I hosted a special on the n-word, suggesting that black people stop using it and that entertainers stop deluding yourselves or themselves and others that you’re somehow taking the word back.
One weird trick? Good Lord, enough already with the worthless one line clickbait excerpts.
What in the #$^* are you talking about? Clickbait? Real Clear Politics is clickbait? Your post is bizarre. Get a freakin’ grip!
Well, everything was fine back in 2013, and then, 2016 happened and Trump got into the White House, and Lemon became bitter and sour.
Now, blacks don’t commit crimes and when they do, it’s because of whitey and Trump.
Wait. That was just 7 years ago.
So then post it. Don’t stop mid thought. BTW you can’t close out the window without the site interfering with you asking if you “really want to leave.” Idiots.
I can. You’re full of $^%&. You didn’t watch the video before you spewed your bs.
It’s a very good video and a lot fewer will see it because you’re calling it clickbait. Real Clear Politics is not clickbait. Who made you board nanny? I posted enough to where anyone with a clue could have gotten the gist of it. I don’t have time for clowns like you.
Watch the video and see if you think it’s worth watching.
It was 7 minutes but was very good.
Don’t worry. I took care of the “one weird trick” by posting the rest. You’re welcome.
So I am trying to trick people into watching the video? What exactly would I have to gain from that?
Seek help.
Dude, chill. One weird trick is clearly laid out in post 2. Now folks can click or not click. Spoiler alert and all that. No more mystery, no more click bait.
Well, you killed this thread dead. It could have been an interesting thread; because it’s the only time I can recall thar Don Lemon made some sense.
Your behavior is bizarre.
I wasn’t going to post the entire conversation. I felt it too much. I posted enough of what the video was about if someone wanted to see it. How do I personally gain by posting a video from Real Clear Politics? If you think I do, you’ve got the imagination.
If I see an early reply that says “clickbait” as yours did, I am certainly not going to click on it. It was a good video and you steered people away from it. Real Clear Politics is a reputable site without malware and viruses.
There are some on here that want to steer people to their website. That is clickbait. I don’t have a website.
I’ve been here a long time and I’ve never been accused of clickbait. I’ve also never been attacked out of no where like you did. It’s bizarre. Please remember to take your meds.
My last post and I’m done (by the way, you and I have kept this thread going, so, you’re welcome).
Here is a thread about Lemon that is not clickbait. The original post has a cliffhanger for a video. But the first post has the answer to the “cliffhanger.” So the reader can go to the video or not. No clickbait. No One Weird Trick. Not lame.

I know you don’t pimp any blogs and not trying to start anything. You’re a decent guy. Just, no needless cliffhangers please. Have a good one!
This needs to go viral.
