Haven’t YOU noticed? I am by no means referring to black MEN. How many times an I gonna have to say that there’s a hugh difference between men and niggers? Niggers know that they are out of control and know they belong behind bars b/c they repeatedly break the law. Oh thats right, its b/c of racism and slavery.

nor do they care how many children they have in different area codes. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I don’t know who’s the worst unfit female or unfit males so I’m gonna keep it neutral and call it a tie. Most likely Don stated some other things but I wanna turn my attention to the author of this article. Lord have mercy. I’m sensing some hateration mixed in Don’s Kool-Aid.
1.) Don is nearly 50 years old. And, your point is? A lot of us are approaching 50. You have a problem with someone’s age? Moving right along….
2.) Don can discuss race anywhere, anytime he wants. Some blacks only want to discuss race when its just about blacks and whites or to say that white people avoid the race issue. THERE ARE DIFFERENCES/PROBLEMS AMONG PEOPLE OF THE SAME RACE.
3.) Stop letting white people off the hook? Okay, this is about racism and/or slavery, right? How about if some blacks stop making slavery and racism 150-year old excuses for their unruly and shameless actions and behavior? That’d be a miracle in itself.
4.) If Don thinks he knows everything, he’s not the only one. The least intelligent and more ignorant assume they not only know everything but rhink they’re right about everything. Everybody can not be right about everything. That only means they don’t see the wrong they do. Don doesn’t have to think he knows whats going on in the black community when he sees and hears it for himself.
5.) The notion that black men want to die, want their children, and want to go to prison. The answer is…YES! Black males/niggers/niggas have been taught thru religion that a better life awaits them once they die. Pastors still teach it today. Black males want their children to suffer. Of course they do. Since they suffered as children, you best believe they are gonna make their children suffer. There’s plenty of proof of that. Black males wanna go to prison…YEP. They are unruly and out of control. No one in society is safe around them

Fortunately, I read online some of what Don has stated on CNN about black people. He’s not saying EVERY BLACK PERSON IS THE PROBLEM. From what I read Don stated that:
1.) Black males should pull up their pants. Don’s right. There are older males and tom-boyish females who also wear sagging pants and shorts. They don’t even know that this trend began in prison. Gay inmates wore their pants like this to signify they were ready to have sex or they wanted to impress an inmate and show off his goodies. Similar to a ho. I agree w/ Don. It looks ridiculous.
2.) Stop using the n-word. This should’ve been stated DURING AND AFTER SLAVERY. Intelligent black men, and not necessarily black leaders, should’ve disapproved the usage of the n-word back then. Maybe some blacks did. But its nobody’s fault that some blacks have shrined that word into gold. Its used as a greeting and in anger. But it also defines an ignorant, stupid person who is black. Even though there are indeed blacks who fit the description, I know that there’s a difference between black men and niggers. Always has been, always will be.
3.) Stop having children out of wedlock. He’s correct about this also. Just b/c being unmarried and having children out of wedlock is considered tradition, doesn’t mean that its the okay thing to do. Especially when unfit males and females are having plenty of unprotected sex at random. Females complain about having so many kids that they can’t enjoy their own life. Well if they would crazy-glue their legs shut and/or take some birth control, they wouldn’t’ve had all of those children. And what gets me is when females have so much hatred towards the daddies that they’ll take it out on her own children, especially if the resemble the father(s). How much did she hate him/them while they were having sex? Did she also hate him when they she agreed to a repeat performance? (Insert n-word here) don’t give a damn about how many females he has sex with

The African American Black Man: The New Neanderthal?
.
Many young Black men seem to be on a mission to ensure our own extinction. While the men of other cultures seem to have no problem in stepping up to the plate to solidify the family unit and ensure their children get a running start in life, we’re abandoning our children, and referring to the very womb of our culture as “bitches and whoes”; and if we’re not killing other Black men over drugs, we’re killing ourselves with drugs – and then struttin’ around braggin’ about it! And even when we aren’t killing ourselves, we’re making dumb decisions that’s causing us to have to spend years at a time locked up in jail like animals. Many of us have embraced a philosophy of manhood that enforces a moral obligation to be stupid. It’s like, you’re not a true Black man unless you take a pledge to remain ignorant.
.
Far too often when well-meaning Black people suggest that we need to address this issue, they’re accused of “blaming the victim.” They’re also often accused of aligning themselves with conservative critics of the Black community. That misses the entire point. No one is blaming anyone, and the primary reason that conservative critics are so quick to use this issue to denigrate the Black community is because it’s such a glaring area of dysfunction in our culture. So rather than ignore a dysfunction because our enemies are using it against us, that should give us MORE incentive to address the issue.
.
So both of these arguments are nothing more than lame attempts to declare the cancer that’s growing on our culture a harmless mole. That may help to bring us comfort in the short run, but by continuing to ignore the truth, the cancer is going to metastasize, and eventually it’s going to kill us.
.
Wake up, Watkins. You sound far more angry than Don Lemon, and you make far less sense. And one other thing – your homophobia is showing. Remember, homophobia stems from the EXACT same root of ignorance as racism, so if you were White you’d probably be running here demanding your country back.

Dr. Watkins is a noted expert in the field of finance. I wish would write about why Asians are financially successful in America in spite of the fact they have no prominent civil rights coalition, no visible community leaders, no media or show business fame among the everyday American, hell they don’t even have a Dr. Boyce Watkins speaking for them.

This reveals the problem..We have too many educated, angry blacks like Dr. Watkins that are not providing Godly leadership and “wisdom” to help our people move forward. In the meanwhile, black women are buying their hair from Asian stores everyday in droves..

It’s about time somebody, with a big microphone offered a solutions to our some of our problems. His solutions are just that, HIS SOLUTIONS, I think they are great starting points of a discussion. If you don’t agree with them, say so, if you can improve upon them say so, if you have a better solution lets hear them, If you agree with them co-sign. What ever you do please remember this. Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.-Eleanor Roosevelt–

As a full fledged a#s jacking q#eer Lemon is trying to carve a niche for his future employment on CNN. With the glut of tv programs and ratings wars he wants to ensure that he has a position in the future if CNN ever downsizes- thus his nonsensical agreement with the biggest phoney and creep on air O’Reilly (who btw is a sexual deviant/pervert once paying off a women he raped). I wonder if ‘sweet Donnie’ would accept the advice of straight normal males to him and his homosexual brethen to clean up their vile filthy disgusting abnormal sexual habits?…I love how certain weak a#s black folks looooove to kiss up to white hypocrites with hopes of furthering their own careers…

My problem with Don Lemon’s comments are that they don’t address the problem, they address the symptoms of the problem. When you decide to address the deep rooted problems in the black community and offer up some solutions, then maybe we would take you seriously. The reason our community is so upset about your remarks is because, you had the perfect forum to really address issues in our community that make our plight seem so hopeless. I have a nephew that have been earnestly trying to get funding to attend a 4 year university, only to have to accept a 2 year community college. He speaks great English, never sags his pants, doesn’t use the N word, no kids, and on and on, yet that pie in the sky still escapes him. How have you become so far detached from this community that you have bought into the ideology that we are responsible for our own demise. You are a sad sad man, the type that does more harm than good.
