Ibram X. Lemon? CNN Anchor Tells White People ‘Stop Saying You Aren’t Racist’

By Tim Graham

CNN anchor Don Lemon’s publicity tour for his book on racism continued on National Public Radio on Sunday morning. Weekend Edition Sunday host Lulu Garcia-Navarro wasn’t so much asking questions as she was reading passages from the book and helping him sell his theories.

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?

Because you somehow don’t need to prove us guilty of “an actual act of racism”? You can just blame a “system” and say we benefit from it unfairly.

What’s really funny is that Lemon had just claimed his book was about “unity rather than division,” so just admit you’re a racist. Stop being divisive by objecting to my smear. Of course, that wasn’t the only comical statement. He also claimed he wasn’t a political person!

LEMON: I could have written, Lulu, a number of books during the Trump administration because every time the president would tweet about me, or say something offhanded about me, or some backhanded way, someone would reach out and say, why don’t you write a book? I didn’t want to do that because I’m not a political person, and I didn’t want to write a political book. And this book is about being human. It’s about unity rather than division. And that’s a book that I wanted to write.

NPR is just like CNN — broadcasting the liberal viewpoint 24/7 — except we pay for this version.

    I agree with the white hating porch monkey! We all need to “stop saying we’re not racist!” First, look up the word ‘racism’ IN AN OLD PAPER DICTIONARY. Then, look it up on your ‘smart’ phone 🙂 You’ll notice (((they))) changed the meaning of the word because it didn’t fit their agenda. (((They))) are supposed to say “you’re a racist,” and we’re ‘supposed’ to respond, “no I’m not!”

    The meaning of the word racism ( throughout all of English history, ) is : A belief or awareness that one or more races are generally superior to or inferior to one or more other races.

    Now … ANYONE of ANY race who’s travelled, is over 30 and “been around the block a few times,” KNOWS 100 % for sure that “generally speaking,” the pecking order is white, brown, black. We’re building cars and going to mars … they’re … well, just LOOK. Then there’s IQ and we could go on and on … and on …

    Stop playing their game. YES we’re all racists but we don’t hate others simply because of race. We do want our own country though : An enlarged all white Christian Confederacy 2.0 wherein we can “thrive and survive,” without all this nonsense.

    Why don’t the independent news”men” utter even so much as a peep about this though????????? Are none of them “streetwise?” Did they all grow up in sheltered suburbs and have zero experience with blacks and browns “out in the trenches of society?” Or are they just brainwashed into submission, inaction and knee taking?
