Ibram X. Lemon? CNN Anchor Tells White People 'Stop Saying You Aren't Racist'
Newsbusters.org ^ | 3/14/2021 | Tim Graham

For example, after announcing his message to blacks is to forgive if not forget on race, Garcia-Navarro said "you also have a message to your white brothers and sisters, as you just say, which is, stop saying you aren't racist. You know, stop trying to defend yourself against something that you benefit from. Society is racist. You have to work hard to change it."

See, not a question, just a verbal cue. He echoed himself:

LEMON: You do. People get so upset by the idea of the possibility that someone may think that they are racist or biased or bigoted in any way. What's the most important thing? Is it the racism, the bigotry or the bias that's most important, or is it the perception or the feeling that someone may think of you that way? Is it about your fragility, your ego, or is it about the actual thing that is?

And I think if people can really think about that question in an honest way, then they will understand the frustration, and there will be some self-correction because oftentimes, people get indignant about - how dare you say that I am racist? How dare you do that? Why is that so - why does that hurt you or threaten you so much than the actual act of racism?

Uh, what? IF I were racis', you'd know about it don. So sashay off and do what you do best. Squeeze some lemons. So many words, so little content. Merely self absorbed psychobabble.

So we have to work at not being racist. If we’re not racist, then we don’t have to work hard. As such, my lack of working at not being racist must mean that I’ve already achieved the goal. Right?

Who is this Don Lemon person on CNN and why do I keep hearing about him? Reruns of Three’s Company are likely more thoughtful, worthwhile television than this person.

My guess is Don was beaten as a child by his father while his mother sat by and said nothing.

Someone should ask him what happened to him.

And we tell CNN to stop pretending that they have any trace of intelligence. Ah, the media. When “studies” classes are far too difficult.

No, Lemon, it's that you're full of sh**.

The best strategy for dealing w/these idiots is to point out “they” are racists. They accuse w/out evidence so they are practicing racism towards those they are accusing. Then watch their faces turn beet red, eyes get angry and they have a mental melt down. I’ve done this to liberals and they can’t deal w/accusations by which they know are true! Really fun to watch.

I don’t think I am Racist, but I just don’t like the idea of Men having Sex with other men like Lemon does. I guess that makes me Homophobic. Is that just as bad as Racism?

OK, Don - I’ll play along with this game.

So you say society is racist, and I have to work to change it.

Alright I’ll work to change it by being a role model by not being racist, and by saying that I’m not racist.

I just don’t care if some nut job would call me a racist. I would probably laugh at them. Hardly going to get me upset in this day and age.

Careful what you say.

Wave that red flag in front of Don Lemahhn and he'll try to set up camp back there.

I’M NOT RACIST. I’M NOT RACIST. I’M NOT RACIST.

So there, Lemon. You are the racist for thinking that all white people are racist.
