CNN’s Don Lemon wore his thoughts on his sleeve in Sunday’s Washington Post Magazine feature on him (published online last Tuesday). In more than one instance he vented to reporter Eric Easter about just how racist America and white people were, while at the same time unironically lamenting about how we didn’t show enough grace to other people. At one point he even suggested that America may not even see blacks as “fully human” at all.The headline for the interview clearly laid out where they wanted to take things with a quote from Lemon suggesting: “We’re living in two different realities as Black and White people.”

It all depends on how people act - there are white, Asian, and Hispanic animals out there as well as black ones

As a general rule, yes, blacks are fully human. On the other hand, Don, we're not so sure about you.

My guess would be fully human with a large portion not quite civilized. Just look at dem controlled urban areas.

He's an anchor on a national network, although not a good one (anchor or network). He's so sensitive, boo-hoo.

I get a real kick out of these poor, down-trodden black TV chattering heads whining about black oppression. How about donating your inflated salaries to the less fortunate? Hmmm?

Man is made in the image of God. We haven’t been any credit to that over the millennia, black, white, or brown. No one has any authority to judge the humanity of anyone, least of all, Mr. Lemon.

It isn't at all about blacks, Don.
It is about you. Every time you say something we wonder if you're too dumb to be human. Some sort of poor designed artificial intelligence or robot that just spews ultra leftist nonsense completely I backed by logic, fact, history, or anything else worth basing your hateful racist garbage on.
I know you have bills to pay but this isn't the ethical way to pay them.
Get a real job, Don.

Lemon acts subhuman, but that's an entirely a personal thing. Being both a pervert and stupid causes a lot of real problems, clearly.

That chip Lemon carries on his shoulder is worthless and a complete dead-ended waste of time. Most of us know racism goes nowhere good and Lemon isn’t either. If we ignore him then maybe resulting quiet will allow him to gain wisdom. But only, that is, if he can shut up for awhile and think for himself.

Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger unavailable for comment. Majority of black pregnancies in the US end in abortion, so clearly he's on to something. But he's certainly confused on who, exactly, is doing the dehumanizing.

In academia there used to be three big topics that could not be openly discussed. Number one, would you believe, was concerned with the first people in the Americas. If you proposed that there were people before Clovis, c 13000BCE, that could end your university career. The second was, but is now tapering slightly, the study of UFOs aka UAP. Harvard profssor John Mack was threatened with loss of tenure if he continued his study of this topic. Other profs, lesser known have been fired. The third, and its a biggy, is the study of race and intelligence. The literature is out there, but access it with a false name, a phony accent and a mask. What you will find, shall I say, will be disturbing.

Projecting again, Don?
The violence that blacks show towards other blacks each and every day in this country make me wonder if they see each other as fully human.

Most people try to hide their mental illness.
Idiots like Don Lemon shout their mental illness from the rooftops (or in CNN, the home of mentally ill people).
Only black racists like Lemon don't see any other human being as being fully human. So he has to try to project his racism and evil to other people. That is a sure fire sign of mental illness!!!

I do not judge people by their skin color, nor do I judge people by their character. I judge people solely on their individual BEHAVIOR. By this criteria, most africans-in-America have been weighed, they have been measured and they have been found wanting. I never voluntarily interact with africans-in-America.

Really? We pay African-Americans more money to play one season of basketball than I could ever hope to earn in a lifetime. Would we pay animals? No. We pay people. And we pay black basketball players. And black workers in all industries. We even pay some not to work. We do not pay sub-humans. We do not pay animals.
African-Americans are humans. And Don Lemon is proof that we treat African-Americans as humans. This is such BS. This kind of rhetoric alienates anyone who wants to understand REAL grievances and do something about them. Don Lemon does a disservice to others when he speaks like this.

Between Don Le-mon and Joy-less Reid, I've come to the conclusion that lack of cognizant or critical thinking, is a requirement for black network employment, at least on MSNBCNN.

What defines, “fully,” “human”?
If according to the crime and entitlement stats, a homo-sapien is killing his or her fellow man in a life of larceny, and licentiously producing offspring with no regard to their future prospects, and while able-bodied dishonestly claiming every possible government entitlement, then I guess others, leading lives of hard-working peace, living up to their responsibilities, treating their fellow-men and -women with honesty, humanity and respect, paying their own way and being accountable for their actions, might consider some debatability is in play on this topic, of relatively, “full,” or marginal human quality, after all.
And before we decry this generality as heinous, the fact is that public policy has long turned on this exact generality of skin color.
So in for a penny, in for a pound: he who lives by the general statement that pigment denotes destiny, and a signal truth, dies by it, too.
Stop theft, rapine, havoc in the streets and homicide, and magically, brilliantly, one’s potential for redemption takes an exponential leap in the direction of capital-H Humanity.

That's a blatant Strawman, Donnie ... a huge, racist strawman. Definitely not fully rational.
You might see things more clearly for what they actually are if you pulled your head out from your ass once in awhile.

I know this for a fact. That in the year of my Lord 2021 the country that I protected for 2 decades from all enemies both and domestic see me and my fellow Blacks as fully human. I also know for a fact that I see Don Lemon as a world class idiot.
