    He doesn't think that, in the same breath he demonized people. I think the first part of the sentence was fine, the second is where he showed his hypocrisy.
    I don't know what you mean by this. Are you asking me how a gay, jewish married gay man can't be a Nazi?

    When he made that statement, I believe he was also referring to this.

    Despite the fact that the FBI and Homeland Security acknowledged that white supremacist groups had carried out more violent attacks than any other domestic extremist group over the past 16 years, the recent statement by Don Lemon has drawn much ire and contempt from people across the political spectrum.

    “WSEs [White Supremacist Extremists] were responsible for 49 homicides in 26 attacks,” said a May 2017 joint brief from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI. “[M]ore than any other domestic group.”

    FBI Director Christopher Wray wrote in August, “But the primary terrorist threat to the homeland today, without question, is homegrown violent extremists. That’s what keeps us up at night—and no doubt many of you, too.”

    And not white men in general. Else he wouldn't have a white boyfriend, doncha think?


    No, I'm wondering why you think someone on the left is only racist, while not thinking someone on the right can also be racist.
    Political leanings don't stop one from being racist.

    I don't care what he was referring to, it was blatant demonization of white men.

    I'm white, it didn't make me feel demonised. Maybe because I'm not an insecure snowflake racist who's time is up?

    A lot of women drop the charges on their husbands and boyfriends that beat them and sexually assault them, too.

    Of course it was. Don Lemon is just an idiot and a racist. Always has been and now he has a platform on a very racist network who supports his right to make these remarks.

    I think if you want to look at the biggest threat to America today, it's people like Don Lemon and networks like CNN that condone such behavior.

    SO one or few people not offended by a tweet or comment makes the comment not racist? Cool, thanks for totally admitting that nothing Trump has said is racist, xenophobic, misogynist, islamophobic, homophobic or anti-sematic. If just one person of what ever "-ist" you claim about trump doesn't agree with you, then you are wrong, and there are a ton of minorities, women, gays, Jews, and muslims that side with Trump.

    Yep, just like one or a few snowflakes offended by a tweet makes it racist.
    See how that silly game is played.

    He did not blame whites for terrorism. He said alt-far-righties, have the most terrorism domestically in the last 20 yrs or so. Oh, they are also mostly white. A factual statement you can not refute. You can only deny it.

    Ok, flip that, with all the ist you just claimed by tRUMP getting called, do you call him any of those things. Racist, etc?
    Or is it just the Lemon dude that has you all hot and bothered?

    Alt right as in who? Spencer and his followers are leftist socialist. One is not a "right wing" simply because they are white nationalist. Black Nationalist are not right wing right?

    Lemon never put a "qualifier" on his remark, he said "White men are the biggest threat to America". Not "some white men". Not "not all white men". He said "white men". Every single statement the media tries to spin on Trump, they leave out one quantifier or another.

    Don Lemon isn't the only Media Hater. Check out Hater Krugman.

    The Media Is Totally Not the Enemy of the People And Anyone Saying They Are Is The Enemy Of the People

    The Democrats-only editorial boards of the largest newspapers in America are dominated by the most partisan, most uncivil, most unhinged people.
