Will Cain Takes On Don Lemon, LZ Granderson Over Racial Aspect Of Trayvon Martin Case



VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/will-cain-takes-on-cnns-don-lemon-lz-granderson-over-racial-aspect-of-trayvon-martin-case/


On Sunday evening, CNN’s Don Lemon invited ESPN writer LZ Granderson and contributor Will Cain to talk about the politics of the Trayvon Martin case. What started out as a discussion of the president’s comment last week spiraled into a heated debate — with Cain vehemently denying the role of race in the case. Disputing arguments from Lemon and Granderson, he refused to play into the emotions of the case, saying we need a “full set of facts.” <SNIP>

That is the gop meme. To deny racism exists. Gingrinch, Bachman and Santorum all lambasted Obama for bringing race up when he spoke about Trayvon. That the people complaining of racism are actually racist and creating wedge issues. As if a 17 year old white kid would have been followed as he walked home in that gated community. As if it is all political. Because anything that benefits democrats has to be stopped and forcefully ignored. Because reality has a left wing bias. Because they are spinning their narrative to try and get their base to fell they have the higher moral ground so they can feel good about how they vote. Even if they are voting against their own economic best interest.
