CNN Don Lemon: Bill O’Reilly doesn’t go far enough

[TeaBagsAreForCups]

CNN anchor Don Lemon came to the defense of Fox News host Bill O’Reilly on Saturday regarding O’Reilly’s heavily-criticized take regarding crime in the African-American community.

“In my estimation, he doesn’t go far enough,” Lemon said in a commentary, before going on to list five tips for Black Americans to improve their living situation, starting with an entreaty to young African-American men to stop letting their pants sag as a fashion choice.

“Walking around with your a*s and your underwear showing is not okay,” Lemon said. “In fact, it comes from prison. When they take away belts from prisoners so they can’t make a weapon. And then it evolved into which role each prisoner would have during male-on-male prison sex.”

8. Larry Elder is OFF THE CHAIN!

I can't prove it but I know that he has been doing performance art as the Crazy, Self-Hating Black Republican for the last several years......

2. really? Out of all the real problems plaguing the African-American community he choses fashion?

[Skittles]

4. yes, because we all know men in suits and ties never break the law

11. And when they do...

... they're punished with bail-out assistance and further remedies that see the "strict" regulations that somehow "cuaght" them, further eased and castrated.

12. Right! And we also know that highly-educated, professional black people who dress well NEVER

experience racial profiling or discrimination.

5. What? Did you expect him to elaborate on 30 years of trickledown economics

as the root problem? No it is pants, that is what you should expect from a modern millionaire mouthpiece. Pants.

3. Um...er...thank you Prison Historian Lemon.

I had no idea these repundents knew so much about street life.

6. His DOB is 3/1/66. That would make him 47 years old.......

UNBELIEVEABLE! I thought he was in his mid-30s, at the most.

[JI7]

9. he does look young, i was surprised he was in his 40s

when he mentioned it a couple years or so back.

don lemon is ok but he is one of those who always has to do the "both sides" bs that anderson cooper always does.

7. Yes...with all the problems in the world....

we should focus on the fact that some African Americans walk around with their underwear showing.

10. So proves himself to be, in the prime of his life and capacity, an asshole.
