Don Lemon is a fully human Human Being, who is Black and Gay, who is Journalist, and he and many others like him are part of our American culture.
“I don’t think America intimately knows enough people like me. I would love America to see Black people, especially Black gay men as — and I hate this word — normal, and as human beings and as part of the culture,” he said to the Washington Post Magazine. “I don’t know if America sees Black people and especially Black gay men as fully human, and as deserving of the American Dream.”
I didn’t add American Dream to the declarations above because Marxist progressive liberals don’t WANT the actual American dream of being a responsible, mostly autonomous, free and empowered adult partaking in both the rewards and risks of capitalism and its many millions of options and choices.
But if he DID want that, or recognized that in his wealth and privilege as a top anchor in the country, I would be more than happy to say that he is as deserving of it as any other of us wretched and flawed human sinners. As a particularly wretched one, I’d rather prefer he say I’M deserving of the American Dream. Throw a little wealth around, guy. You’re a deserving fully human person. AM I?
Notice that Lemon said “deserving of” and not “entitled to” which is no small difference. If only we could believe that was an intentional and thoughtful word choice on his part. But I think y’all know it wasn’t.
Lemon and those of his political leaning will say that his “lived experience” has given him the moral necessity of, and unimpeachable microphone for using the language he used here. His “lived experience” has taught him that all people are cruel and unjust, because some people were. All people are hateful and reject him, because some people reject and are hateful to him.
That’s the same logic behind CRT. All are racist because some are. All laws are part of oppression because some people can use them to oppress.
It’s a very insidiously embedded view of how Creation functions, seeded in the American liberal mind on a person by person basis in public schools and mass media.
That’s why, in this interview that reveals what he didn’t intend and didn’t reveal what he intended, that he can say this:
We’re living in two different realities as Black and White people. We knew, as Black people, what was lurking beneath the surface. I still believe that [Trump] was the necessary wake-up for America to realize just how racist it is.
I guess we really do understand critical race theory after all don’t we? White is bad. It’s so simple! How did we miss it?
Don Lemon, a fully human and culturally engaged human being, has finally made it all clear. He’s a teacher guiding us you know.
I know. Because he told me so.
Whether we like, as Black people, being the teachers or helping to guide White people through racism — it’s uncomfortable sometimes, it’s tiring — unfortunately to some degree you have to do it, because otherwise they may take the wrong actions, and we want people to do it the right way. And the right way is by understanding and seeing our humanity.
This is what liberals love to hear. They eat this up. They spit it back out and eat it up again. They roll around in it and they touch each other with it. It’s a drug they can’t get enough of. Lash me, o ye huddled masses. Whatever we’re doing isn’t good enough, and whatever we’re not doing is even worse! Tell us how bad we are!! Just not in too much detail.
The lack of specifics are the calling card of this kind of thinking. And if you reverse the charges and demand receipts, they will cite police shootings (and he does in the interview), BLM protests, all the litany of grievances that shows like Lemon’s turn into ratings and dollars but don’t represent the LIVED EXPERIENCE of millions of Americans.
But then, maybe OUR lived experience doesn’t count. Maybe it’s not good enough, or authentic enough.
Or maybe Don Lemon just doesn’t see us as fully human. Maybe he doesn’t really think of us as human beings and doesn’t consider us part of the culture. Perhaps we are not deserving of the American dream.
Since no one will ever ask him these things, I can only conclude one thing. I guess we’re not.
Bummer.

CNN’s Don Lemon is a dumb HUMAN BEING who is FULLY stupid HUMAN
Being gay does prove he doesn’t make the right decisions in life, and being dumb could be the black part of him, but he loves his White lover.
Lemon is not a professional journalist! A professional journalist dosen’t act like he does! He is a childish, whinning, lying hack!
Don Lemon is just like all CommieCrats, a SOCIOPATHIC PATHOLOGICAL LYING RACIST RACE GRIFTING TREASONOUS SCUMBAG!
Sorry Don the dumbie! Being a professional journalist is were you try to see BOTH side of the story! Your opinion doesn’t count! That left up to the people who listened to you. And NO IT NOT NORMAL to be gay! The first book of everybody life is GENESIS! GOD MADE MAN THEN WOMAN TO BE HIS HELPER IN LIFE! The color of your skins mean nothing to other! IT YOUR ATTITUDE AND CHARACTER THAT Does! You want RESPECT? THEN YOU EARN IT LIKE EVERY OTHER RACE HAVE TOO!
Well said!
Lemon is just another Affirmative Action failure. No one with an I.Q.# higher than room temperature cares what he says, thinks or does.
Continued Moron Waring thinner and thinner. Bashing Whites degrading his own culture in the making. All cultures have credibility respecting them all is the key is lacing in his agenda constantly. God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve for starters.
Mr. Lemon I see you as a human being ..perverse in your lifestyle choice, black yes ,male a given. I will treat you as I treat all black men with the same respect as any other race. What I will not do is condone your life choice of perversion. If that categorizes me as some type of racist then I will gladly wear that label because the Almighty God in heaven and His son Jesus wear the same.1 Corinthians 6:9
Remember he is not a “Mr”.
I don’t care about his sexual preferance, I don’t care about his political viewpoint. But I do not want to be lied to by someone who has the protection of the Constitution. Don, you are obligated to tell the American people the TRUTH. Don’t create stories that are blatant lies. And you do that a lot.
Lemon is a pathological liar!
The majority of Conservative Americans are not racist. However, unintelligent Americans (“dumocrats”) are EXTREMELY racist.
Dumb@ss “Sleeping at the crack of Don” Lemonfluff can’t get it through his anti-God and anti-American thick head that it’s not racist to disagree with, not like, or hate stupid people, regardless of their color, sexual preference, gender, religious persuasion, political affiliation, or any other individual identification badge a person wears. This applies to every woke, communist, socialist, left-wing dumocrat libtard. Their ideas and ideals are anti-anything and anti-everything our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and forefathers dreamed and set up for this once great country.
I’m not sure if we’ll survive long enough to reach the 2022 and 2024 elections to change back what Sneaky Sleepy Joke Biden-his-time has done in short fashion to ruin what President Trump did to restore some honor and dignity to America. God Bless and God help us.
