Lemon's Comments Leave Sour Taste For The Left


Over the past several years one thing has been made very clear by the left: do not cross us. The latest victim of the left's mob attacks CNN Liberal host Don Lemon who dared to actually agree with comments made by the much despised FOX commentator Bill Ore'illy. Ore'illy called out members of the civil rights establishment for their silence on the myriad of problems in the black community such a crime and out of wedlock births. On Lemon's CNN show he not only agreed with Ore'illy but stated that 'he didn't go far enough. Lemon then proceeded  to outline several points which he feels would improve the black community such as education, and doing away with sagging pants. Some of his seemingly mundane suggestions have set of a firestorm of criticism which the left often does when one of their own strays from the left wing orthodoxy. Its appears that on the left one can only speak of blacks as victims of racial and economic oppression. Raising issues of personal responsibility will often spark vicious attacks from the left as Lemon has certainly experienced. The familiar taunts of "Uncle Tom",  'sellout" and 'turn coat' have been used to describe him. It has become evident that no matter whom the source they will be attacked, be it President Obama whose speech at Moorehouse College last month drew criticism from his base; to Bill Cosby's critique on black culture several years ago which even prompted black liberal professor Michael Eric Dyson to write a book about it.

The tragic truth is that the most dangerous enemies of blacks are the so called black leaders and the formally educated black intelligentsia. Their sole purpose is to serve as attack dogs against anyone who betrays the far left dogma of victimization. The serious problems that plague the black community with never improve given that the basic concept of personal responsibility is all but non-existent. I say to Mr. Lemon whom I don't always agree with Bravo! You're the only liberal and CNN or MSNBC who has guts.

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which has painted a false sense of reality for millions of Ame

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a

Uncovering A Gigantic Royal Scam

Image
The old saying "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians" is by modern standards politically incorrect. However there is a new phenomena that is could take its place. There seems to be too many Kings and Queens and not enough subjects. Peruse Facebook and one will see untold references to "Black Kings" and "Black Queens" which is intended to foster self esteem in the black community. What is wrong with this one may ask? It is built on a ridiculous premise, historical ignorance and grotesque revisionism. For starters, every culture at one time or another has been ruled by monarchs. So by this logic every Anglo British citizen is a King or a Queen since they still have a symbolic monarchy today. Kings and Queens are mere titles-not character traits. Monarchs were selected by either bloodline or bloody conquest. Some of the most dastardly rulers in history were Kings. King John, Herod, Leopold, Caligula are just a few-African rulers were hardly an exception. I
