Is Don Lemon the most influential Uncle Tom in the game right now?

We all have a right to criticize, doesn't mean it will be welcomed to the ones being criticized. To me, dude came off as "I'm Black so I know how it is and this is why "xyandz" is the way it is. Yadda yadda yadda." It's the same as those who were never raped telling those who were how they should cope with it. While it may be a suggestion, u don't know what they're going through/went through so u can't really act like u know because u never experienced it.


Don't care what they are going through I have less empathy and tolerance than the average man for certain behaviors. I'm getting tired of the excuses.

U aint the only one. I've went from shame to heartbreak to disgust to "As long as me and mine are not affected, whatever" I've made it known to those who try to include me in w/ the Black race when it comes to certain negatives not to include me in that. Yes I am Black but I am not like those that carry out these pathetic actions.
 
*....waiting for all the people "within the community" to get a movement of blacks rising up and facing their collective psychological issues head on...*

*...waiting for cats who grew up and still live in the hood to get a new black panther style movement going...*

*...waiting for the black community to stop making excuses for the things we know are dead wrong while simultaneously encouraging/championing those very things and refusing to accept anything else...*

*...waiting for the black community to stop demanding that "hood culture" be the only representation we accept as authentic...*
You're going to be waiting for a life time and my guess is that you and I both will be dead and gone because the panthers movement and that state of mind will never rise again not from us.

I just wish that more African americans,blacks or whatever you want to go by can actually have some type of discussion of sort in an open but confined place because a lot of what I see now happening with us is that we have so many us on opposites sides,with a lot of different points views and opinions being tossed around but when it's all said and done NO ONE HAS A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.Even if we agree to disagree atleast walk away with something besides a grudge for someone else's way of thinking.



What's the opposite of the hood mentality?what,so called an educated black snob(ATL housewives)?back in the late 1800's when we finally started to establish ourselves we dealt with the same seesaw of classism and just down right ignorance amongst ourselves and mind you we were still being hung from trees falsely accused of crimes and jailed just to be used as 'free slave labor' for southern white farmers and amongst all of that going on we still found the time to discriminate against each other......I find it sad and kinda funny that much hasn't change,nothing but the time.
