MSNBC HOST CALLS BLACK CNN ANCHOR DON LEMON A LEADER ‘OF WHITE PEOPLE’ AFTER HIS ‘PULL YOUR PANTS UP’ ADVICE TO BLACKS

MSNBC’s Toure on Sunday tweeted that CNN anchor Don Lemon is part of a group of “white leaders” after his advice earlier this year for black men to pull up their pants and make other changes in their lives.

Toure, a co-host on MSNBC’s “The Cycle,” is black, as is Lemon. Toure later clarified that “white leaders,” in which he lumped together Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and Lemon, means “leaders of white people.”

Toure got started on the topic after talking about the level of gun violence in the U.S., including “white-on-white” violence.

Another race baiter. Why is everything at mcnbc about race? White this, black that. He's never heard Limbaugh, Beck, or any others blame race more than he is doing with this single article.

Aah! The perfect example of "liberal-think". No need for facts - just state it as you want it to be. He belongs on the pathetic PMSNBC.

Don Lemon was just trying to get across a point to young black people "respect your self and your race is all". I commend him for showing class and hard work he has my respect.

He'll go the way of Bill Cosby, who also said similar things. No one hires anyone who wears pants six sizes too big, TRIES to show me his ass, can't read, write, or spell, and can't speak a coherent, intelligent sentence. When your culture is proud of going to prison, selling drugs, having some "bitches" to have kids, and glorifies beating women and killing people, it any "society's" fault. The fault lies closer to home than that. Quit hating on the ones who tell the truth and change your low-life gangster, single momma (who don't need no man..), crime loving culture. If so, smart guys like these wouldn't be telling you the same thing I just did.

1209 FYI black culture is NOT "proud of going to prison, selling drugs, having some "bitches" to have kids, and glorifies beating women and killing people" although POP culture does subscribe to this narrative. Please learn the difference or turn off your tv.

Go take a walk outside through ALL the local "Hoods".

You will smell different once you do...

Look at the state of "black culture" in this country. Across the board, the WORST scores on every test in school. Highest dropout rate. Highest rates of suspension. Highest teen pregnancy rate. Highest percentage of males in prison, going there or getting out, and on and on. These are facts. When prominent BLACK people point them out, are they lying?
