Bill O’Reilly enraged many with his “Talking Points Memo” criticism of black culture in America. One surprising ally was CNN’s Don Lemon who approved of O’Reilly’s critique, and even said that he didn’t go far enough.
His five points were simply but eloquently elaborated.

Is Lemon’s boyfriend white by any chance?
It is obvious.
You can not embrace thug culture, illiteracy, single-parent homes, excuse all kinds of bad behavior as someone or something elses’ fault and expect things to ever improve.
Guys like Lemon ruin “The Reverends” Racist Game!
Besides the crime, violence and the trashing of my old neighborhood when I lived in the city of Rochester, NY, it was the general attitude of the folks who were causing their own problems and they didn’t want to hear about it. It was a hopeless situation and that’s why I packed my family up and got the hell out of there!
He’ll be back on the reservation soon enough...
Bill O’Reilly spoke the truth and everyone knows it but only a few will acknowledge it for many different reasons. Kudos to those who have the courage to recognize and vocalize it as such.
We must avoid stigmatizing the little darlings.
Don,
You don’t get it do you? The original plantation masters were all Democrats. Do you think they’ve changed? Not in the least!! The only way to keep blacks on the plantation is by keeping them dumbed down and on the government plantation. Don, the only thing the Democrats have changed over the years is the methods, not the goal. It went from salvery, to Jim Crow to government dependence.....
Blacks behave badly.
They are dangerous.
They murder each other with abandon.
That won’t change in my lifetime.
Stay far away.
By any chance do you have access to a pie chart breaking down these groups as a percentage of Chicago’s population?
Jesus would differ on your last point.
Nothing so enrages a 'victim' group as when one of its members goes off of the reservation. Mr Lemon's 5 points are pretty straightforward: (1) Children in marriage; (2) Don't drop out of school; (3) Don't trash your neighborhood; (4) The 'N' word is as bad to the community as it is when used against them; and finally (5) Sagging pants is not dressing for success!
An immediate example comes from a victimhood advocate home-paged in the Washington Post, Ms Rahiel Tesfamariam;
If Lemon really wanted to help the black community, he could start by adopting a deeper understanding of the history, sociology and psychology of his own people. Offering made-for-T.V. analysis about deeply complex social issues in the manner in which he did is irresponsible and lacks intellectual rigor. Lemon needs to stop using his international platform to publicly scold the African American community about respectability; we deserve more than the self-described kindergarten lessons his mother taught him.
I found no refutation of his points in the rest of this article published in the Post today. Instead her argument revolved around this point; "... than to deal with the cause – entrenched systemic and institutional barriers that restrict opportunities for African-Americans.”
I’ll bet you he will get more heat from his fellow gays than blacks (pardon the expression)....Gays love to pretend that they’re “down with the struggle.”
From Wikipedia:
2000 Census Data Chicago Illinois US
White 31.7% 73.5% 75.1%
Black 32.4% 15.1% 12.3%
Hispanic/Latino origin (of any race) 28.9% 12.3% 12.5%
Asian 5.4% 3.4% 3.6%
bit old since it is 2000 I suppose.
Lemon committed the greatest sin that one can commit in the black community. The greatest black sin is not “Thou shall not kill” or Thou shall not rape”. The greatest sin in the black community is “Thou shall not air black dirty laundry in front of non-blacks.”
Blacks don’t like negative feedback. Ask Bill Cosby.
America should at long last embrace the advice of Moynihan and practice benign neglect.
