Lord jesus, my heart. Know about those bad Ga thunderstorms?
Well the lights went, and they came back 45 minutes later. I was playing with my nephew and I started smelling smoke, I look up and the alarm panel is on fire. We rushed out and called 911, where the lady asked for everything but to spread my buttcheaks. The fire people found lightening traveled up our phone line and blew a circuitboard in in the alarm panel. Thank god it was only the alarm thing.
You are right that he said he didn't want to talk about the issues earlier because he didn't want to distract from the Trayvon case, but the issues he's complaining about have nothing to do with the case in the first place! He's bringing it up for the same reason the far right are, because he and others see Trayvon being shot as his fault/a issue with black culture. Otherwise why even talk about it in the same segment as he mentioned Trayvon or mention Bill O'Reilly who was critiquing Trayvon?
oh my
now all we need is john cena's jiggly ass and we're set
He's not bringing the issues up because of the case though. I don't know where you got that idea from, but from the video it's pretty clear it's just a general discussion he's having with no real connection to the Trayvon case, aside form the fact that the source he's taking it from is from Bill O'Reilley, who I'm going to assume said that amidst the case. Why would he bring those issues up with the intention to bring it back to Trayvon and what he or the community could have done when he lambasts those that were trying to do the same the entire time throughout the cases duration? It doesn't make any sense. I never knew he did it after his Trayvon segment, and if that's the case then yes, perhaps he could have used a different segment to talk about those issues(even though by context the whole reason why he's bringing it up is because of those people constantly using black issues to deflect from particular cases regarding prejudice against blacks) I think it's pretty clear from the content of the video and the criticizing he's doing of said group that his intention is not to paint the Trayvon situation as something that is the fault of the black community.
I haven't been able to find a link to the Don Lemon quotes but I suspect it's something similar to Bill Cosby's outburst a while ago.
On that whole subject, I would say that it certainly wouldn't hurt if we as a people started acting better. It certainly wouldn't hurt if everyone didn't feel like "acting hard" and perpetuating the rap stereotype was a requirement of being black in America. It certainly wouldn't fix the whole problem by itself either, and you can't play 100 percent of the blame on any single group. Yeah a lot of people gotta work twice as hard to get half as far, even today, but it certainly wouldn't hurt if everyone would at least try.
I thought it was over when wrassle gaf stopped spamming it but here go JC ole ass bring it backJust.....why??! lol
To begin with, let's not pretend that that the reason all these news channels are having segments right now that are talking about issues within the black community isn't because of the Trayvon case verdict/Obama's response to the Trayvon verdict. The Bill O'Reilly segment for example was his response to Obama's speech after the verdict happened and Bill's opinion as to what black people need to do in order to prevent Trayvon situations from happening again. That in itself is a problem because Trayvon's death had nothing to do with those issues vs "walking while black" and Don Lemon, whether you agree or don't with his comments, is fueling this problem with the far right not wanting to take responsibility for the verdict in regards to gun control/gun laws by simply continuing this dialogue while this verdict is still a news item.
Going back to Don Lemon's segment, he did state that he prevented guests from talking about black community issues while the case was going on, but he never addresses why these issues don't relate to the case, which is what many on the far right want to believe, vs just stopping them because he didn't want them to distract people from the case. He never clarifies that they are completely different issues and here he continues this line of thought by not clarifying himself while having this segment so soon after the verdict is still fresh in people's minds. IMO, it is because he believes these issues are one and the same and just didn't want to talk about it while the case was going on, but we can agree to disagree here since there is nothing in the video that proves this.
But even if you don't believe that he is doing this on purpose, this is what most people are thinking. Most right wing sites/facebook commenters/etc are taking his video and put them side by side with the Bill O'Reilly one as reasons why the black community should be mad at themselves for what happened to Trayvon and shouldn't be protesting the verdict.

The thing is even if 99% of black people rejected the stereotype and were successful certain people would still hold onto that 1% and blame it on any problems black people have.

Most definitely. My previous post still more or less stands though.
I only partially agree with Don Lemon though. You can't act like there aren't still external forces affecting black communities. People should still try to better themselves in spite of those forces, but they're still there.
But the situation would still be a lot better. Not ideal, but better.
So there is no reason that we as a people should try and better ourselves because there will always be others to try and hold us back?
That mom who called her son the n-word would still be a bad parent if she had called him some other name. I'm getting tired of curbing my own behavior just to satisfy others that might be stereotyping me. My own use of the n-word is limited to when I'm reciting rap lyrics. I'll cop to feeling weird about using it even as a black dude, but the concept of reclaiming slurs seems like a a good thing to me. I can't begrudge others for using the word. Obviously using it in certain contexts is a bad idea (job interviews, around professors, etc) but that all falls back under stereotyping.

Good thing most black people don't even know who don lemon is.
So you would be consider a bad parent if you called your child the N-word ?
what if you named him Semaj
what if you named him Semaj
how do you even say that
13 and below I would maybe yes. But past puberty? I got plenty "Nigga are you out your mind?"s and I was.
But I seen plenty of parents where the kid could do the "stinky leg" but couldn't spell their own name going on 8 years old.
I want to do a movie about how the world reacts if Black people and only black people develop super powers.
