If the above URL doesn't take you to the correct time stamp just go to 2:04.

It's just weird to see because his viewpoints are very different. Do you think he actually changed his beliefs or is he now just doing what gets the views for his network (like everyone else in media smh)

Thumbnail has some dweeb in a Trump T-shirt making a dumb face.

pass.

lmao I didnt even notice what he was wearing

Anyways for those who dont want to watch:

-Don Lemon says some things that would 100% get him fired on CNN today. The way he talks was offensive even back then in my opinion. If he wanted to make a point he couldve said it more professionally for sure.

The main point is to see how quickly media outlets will change their narrative based on what will bring in the money and how people on both sides of the political spectrum buy it up.

He has a list of things the black community needs to do
He would never say these things on air today

"Don't litter" is solid advice for anyone tho.

But kids these days straight up don't respect their environment. There were too many times where I had to talk to a neighborhood kid about tossing a trash, whether it may be a can or a wrapper, wherever in on my property. Another time I damn near blew a lid catching some other neighborhood kids smashing beer bottles into the gutter. It's gotten worse since 10 years ago, hence why Don had to make a note of it.

That should have been apparent from the Trayvon Martin case. They did so much blatant manipulation of the narrative to boost the story, from using the "Half White man kills black boy" headline to the photos of Trayvon being years younger than the time of his demise, and the doctoring of the phone call. No one called out mainstream media outlets for it.

The other advice is solid and reasonably easy to do, except I dont know how the pull up your pants one is relevant. Im guessing its meant to help avoid others from judging you negatively.

Thanks man

lolol

I didn't want to directly quote him from the video because he says a few offensive things, but generally he gives his opinion on how his fellow black Americans should act within their communities to better themselves.

CNN anchors are paid actors. Cuomo straight up said he hates his job because it's bs.
