Mr. Swampy will Never in a million years be able to say something this eloquent while being this brutal at the same time.

CNN's Don Lemon responds to President Donald Trump's personal attack on himself and NBA star LeBron James, saying "referring to African-Americans as dumb is one of the oldest canards of racism in this country."

Don lemon is just plain dumb.
 
I can see this thread imploded by posts 2 and 3. Let's try this for a change of pace. White Americans aren't allowed to tell non-white Americans when they are and when they aren't experiencing racism. You may as well ask a blind person to describe the cover of a magazine.

I don't know if he is dumb but his arguments certainly were.

It never fails that Don will try and boil this down to race as hard as he possibly could. He's had the same response to almost every form of criticism that is thrown his way and this is the same response we've come to expect. Just like how he called the election a white-wash and a white-lash against a black president.

Don Lemon is unable to climb above the "but racism" response in most cases and in others, he can't form a coherent response at all.

Not really sure there is another way to put it. Care to explain why Mr. Swampy called two highly prominent black people dumb and stupid?

Because they are.

Or are you saying they can't be dumb and stupid because they are black?

Because he is crass and they have done more than enough to qualify for such a classification.

He made no indication of their race in his and the first to do so was "expectedly" Don himself who said racist in response. Simply because its his only go to in instances like this.

If they can supply proof this time that Trump is actually racist. Then I would agree, but until then Don will have to sit alone in his little echo chamber.
 
"DON LEMON’S DUMB RESPONSE TO BEING CALLED DUMB

... Of all the folks I watched during my brief flirtation with CNN, Don Lemon struck me as the least intelligent. Thus, although President Trump’s recent statement that Lemon is the dumbest man on television covers a vast amount of territory, I’m not about to quarrel.

Lenon, naturally, is quarreling. But he’s doing so in a way that reinforces Trump’s assessment. Lemon claims that it is racist to call an African-American dumb, regardless, presumably, of whether he is. He said:

The president has called a lot of people stupid. Some of those people are white. But I would just like to note that referring to an African American as dumb — remember this is America — is one of the oldest canards of America’s racist past and present: that black people are of inferior intelligence.

Here’s what Lemon is saying: Racists believe African-Americans are intellectually inferior to Whites. Donald Trump has called a few of his African-American critics, as well as some of his Whites ones, dumb. Therefore, believes African-Americans are intellectually inferior to Whites. Therefore, Donald Trump is a racist. ..."

Don Lemon is dumber than dumb.

That website has a section dedicated to Hillary Clinton. A section which can be found directly on their front page. Donald Trump is a name in a headline for CNN.

And its editor page could fit in a Prius.

Are you seriously citing them as a source of authority on journalism?
This rag tag group of nobodies is who you are citing?

Lol. Amazing.
 
Christ, Powerline is still around? I remember people ripping on John "Hindrocket" Hinderaker (and yes, he gave that nickname to HIMSELF) during the Bush years, for crying out loud. I can't believe someone actually cited it.

Since you have predetermined that race did not motivate 45's tweet, it seems rather futile to explain why the tweet has racial implications.

Seeing as you actually can't prove that in the first place and are doing as expected, in running away from the topic.

It's easy to see the only futile part of this equation is you.

That is unless you can actually prove otherwise and refrain from trying to run away.

What is it that you're accusing me of running from again? I merely pointed out that your posts on this subject are pointless because you asked for someone to prove to you what you refuse to believe can be proven. It's a disingenuous way to participate in a thread.

Because I don't want to waste too much time, I will say that in order to be able to contribute productively, you need to acknowledge that race might have motivated the tweet and/or might have motivated the reaction to it.

This parrot Waddy must be one of them Trumbots. Perhaps this guy is one of them old white men around Trump's age.

To paraphrase Lemon, who is the dumb one? The one who puts kids in classrooms or the one who puts kids in cages?

Do you acknowledge that lemon and LeBron may be the ones who are racist and they may dislike trump because he is white?
