Don Lemon Confronts Self-Hating Black Writer!

Don Lemon confronts Black writer who hates being stereotyped as a NIGGER.

CNN anchor still trying to get his "ghetto pass" reinstated. Don Lemon confronts a self-loathing Black writer on the issues of race in the country.

It's got a big jolt when Oprah Winfrey went to the BBC to express her disappointing in how Americans view President Barack Obama in the prism of his race. She believes that the reason for his woes is mostly due to the racial extremism from his critics.

Of course, this is a goldmine for the conservative agitators. They can't stand being called a "racist". They believe its a double standard when it comes to the word NIGGER. They believe that the LEFT is trying to silence their freedom to hate.

They believe that "the Blacks" are atoned to saying NIGGA to one another. They believe that we police White America from the usage of the racial slur.


Again, we don't police your usage of the racial slur. The best thing we can do to you is basically prove a point. With the digital age, what you say or do will come back to bite you in the ass. You can say as much as you want about "us Black folk".

It's your right to be the condescending asshole you made yourself out to be.

We can't deny you that right to be who you are!

But think about it! If you have a job, a company, friends and loved ones. Oh, your words against us can break you! Just think if the stuff you say becomes a viral sensation.

You'll be lucky they don't find out your address and send you threatening letters.

Don Lemon catches a lot of flack for his outspoken views of Black America.

Lemon calls out Orville Lloyd Douglas, the writer of Why I Hate Being A Black Man.

Mediaite reports that Orville Lloyd Douglas explained to Lemon why he wrote such a highly charged column and what it’s like for him being a black man.

Douglas admitted he’s mainly talking about the stereotypes surrounding black men regarding his self-hatred, saying it’s hard for people who don’t conform to the stereotypes of black men to live in society.

Lemon was somewhat baffled by what he was saying, asking him why he doesn't just let himself define who he is and not worry about other people. Douglas, a Canadian, explained race is handled with kid gloves up there, especially to the “more progressive way” it’s talked about in America.

Lemon credited Douglas for being very brave to come out like he is, especially with all the online hate he’s getting, but also pressed him on rejecting the self-hatred. Lemon said he should just “learn to love being black” and not to “let other people define who you are.”

Douglas also talked about diversity in Canada, as well as racial and social issues that aren't being dealt with in Toronto. If only they had a competent mayor who could f… oh, wait.

Some of Douglas' article obtained from the Guardian included:

A lot of black men don't want to acknowledge the feelings of disgust we have for ourselves. It is considered emasculating to even admit the existence of such thoughts. I think my own self-hated manifests from the exterior, from the outside world. It is born out of the despair and the unhappiness I see within a lot of young black men.

I can honestly say I hate being a black male. Although black people like to wax poetic about loving their label I hate "being black". I just don't fit into a neat category of the stereotypical views people have of black men. In popular culture black men are recognized in three areas: sports, crime, and entertainment. I hate rap music, I hate most sports, and I like listening to rock music such as PJ Harvey, Morrissey, and Tracy Chapman. I have nothing in common with the archetypes about the black male.

There is so much negativity and criminal suspicion associated with being a black male in Toronto. Yet, I don't have a criminal record, and I certainly don't associate with criminals. In fact, I abhor violence, and I resent being compared to young black males (or young people of any race) who are lazy, not disciplined, or delinquent. Usually, when black male youth are discussed in Toronto, it is about something going wrong.

Honestly, who would want to be black? Who would want people to be terrified of you and not want to sit next to you on public transportation?
