Have a seat, Don Lemon.

I will not be long but I just have a question that needs to be answered. We know that white supremacy or privilege has no bound. It can even be internalized and reinforced through Black people. I present evidence A, Don Lemon (see video below).

If you're keeping score, Don Lemon agrees with Bill O'Reilly. Lemon even doubles down by saying O'Reilly doesn't go far enough in his comments. Deep sigh. This is the Bill O'Reilly surprised by Black people's behavior at a popular Harlem restaurant a few years ago. This is the Bill O'Reilly that said Columbia Professor Marc Lamont Hill looked like a cocaine dealer. You get my drift and this why Don Lemon is in the wrong for cosigning to O'Reilly. 

Don Lemon is following the famous white supremacist's game plan for Black people. He's internalized it and is now enacting it on us. Help us.

So I'm left asking the following question:

Will this five point plan end Stop and Frisk policies, drug wars, access to inadequate health care, educational inequality, unequal sentencing, racial profiling, unequal access to capital, or lack of economic mobility which are effects of white supremacy?

Any takers?

I have to say this.

I'm diving right in because too much has been going. I'm coming with a series of posts over the next few days.

But anyway, I have to speak on this Paula Deen situation. I guess the discussing of the n-word is the trendy thing to do but I'm taking a different route to Paula Deen's recent debacle. If you believe Deen hasn't used the word "nigger" "nigga" or whatever in the past 20+ years, I have an island to sell you. While the media and everyone else has focused on Deen's usage of the n-word, I'm more concerned about her organization's treatment of its employees. Has anyone stopped to think about the content of the lawsuit against Paul Deen Enterprises? Cared to read it? Cared to dissect it? I went through this deposition of the lady who brought forth of the lawsuit and it doesn't look too good. There are documented instances of:

1. racial discrimination
2. sexual harassment
3. gender discrimination
4. pay inequity
5. racism
6. violence

But of course this doesn't matter, right? She made a mistake, right? These are are not mistakes. This institutionalized discrimination is based mostly on gender and race. I've seen so many people, especially these Negroes (see attached video) defending her as if she has not aided in her own destruction.  If this Mand of Gawd (black church talk) can easily defend her while excusing the actions of her companies but stay quiet on the School to Prison Pipeline, racist American Drug War, or Stop and Frisk, we'll suffer.

 

At the end of the day, Paula Deen Enterprises allowed this egregious mess to happen within its organization. Nothing was ever reigned in nor confronted. So while the endorsements are dropping left and right, I am actually okay with it. At some point, enough has to be just that: Enough! Big ups to you, Lisa Jackson.

I'm out!
