CNN's Don Lemon: 'Biggest terror threat in this country is white men'

By Jessica Chasmar - The Washington Times - Wednesday, October 31, 2018

CNN anchor Don Lemon declared Tuesday night that the biggest terror threat the country faces today is ?white men? and that something needs to be done about them.

Mr. Lemon made the comments while speaking to fellow anchor Chris Cuomo about last week?s killing of two black men at a Kentucky supermarket in an apparent hate crime. It came just days before Saturday?s mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue and amid a rash of pipe bombs mailed to more that a dozen high-profile Democrats. All of the alleged perpetrators appear to be white men.

Mr. Lemon said he doesn?t like to demonize people but can?t help but consider white men to be the biggest threat to Americans? safety.

?I keep trying to point out to people and not to demonize any one group or any one ethnicity. But we keep thinking that the biggest terror threat is something else, some people who are marching towards the border,? he said, dismissing the migrant caravan heading for the southern U.S. border as not a real threat to security.

?We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right,? he said. ?And we have to start doing something about them. There is no travel ban on them. There is no ban on ? they had the Muslim ban. There is no white guy ban. So, what do we do about that??

Ahhhhhh, the media; known for their bullshit polarized news always stirring up shit. Racism, sexism, terrorism, etc. Anything for ratings and the division of the people.

No guys it's division. They're dividing us into little groups with labels so that we fight & point fingers & say it's your fought. The biggest threat to America are the ones behind this propaganda! As a veteran having traveled around the world that's the way I see it. I have seen the media lie first hand. Do you know why other Vets dont speak out about things? Because they no people are close minded so why waste their time & energy.

So does this mean you agree with Lemon that "white men" are the biggest threat to our country? And if so please explain how and be sure to use those things called facts and data.

Trumpers are fear fulled? not sure what you mean by that? Everything i'm reading in the media is that Trumpers are all white men of privilege. Since all white men are obviously so privileged and superior what exactly is there to fear?

 

[botamico]

Don Lemon is openly gay and dating a white dude. Because no research was done before hand, it lead to a polarized, worthless back and forth argument.

Scratch that, prince mentioned it.

nothing i've ever posted was remotely close to using fear in my post or my post being motivated by fear. this is just sad on so many levels.

show me anywhere i've said anything that even remotely borders on racist. I've almost 10k posts going back more than a decade. go ahead. I'll wait.

This forum isn't full of millennial reactionary band wagon clowns that jump up triggered because they hear the word racist, sexist, misogynistic...etc. thrown around. You can't hide behind words here you actually have to back it up, and no ones buying your bull shit.

You're right jolter, but it's like kicking a dead horse trying to get some people to ban together. People are going to believe what they want, no matter what it is. The only thing you can do is reach those who are willing to listen and leave the rest behind.

I can tell you as a former soldier you get to see a different side of politics. I've been thinking about these things for a long time now. The only logical question is we are being divided. Divided into small groups that argue, point fingers & lay blame. In doing so we will be distracted from what's going on around us. The media propaganda use used to put others agenda. Not only are they dividing us in America but the World to keep is fighting wars!

you're a complete and utter deaf clown with this shit. I'm neither a Trump follower or supporter, and i've not been trashed here. If anything i've been called names here more for the fact i'm a social conservative than anything to do with Trump.

for one thing, I wasn't talking to you !! if you are a '

social conservative' as you claim, you'll know that implies that you are a 'white Christian republican' normally homophobic , racist , afraid of Muslims and most of your decisions about the social climate are fear based.. I do remember your posts as being 'right wing' and never defending anything but conservative rhetoric.. so how 'deaf' am I ?? I never read any anti trump post of yours.. .. go ahead, help me out, if I'm wrong, school me..​

I'm not bashing Trump & not not afraid to speak the truth. I'm a grown ass man I can debate but I dont scream & yell that's for kids. I'm speaking general about what I see from my perspective that's all. Actually I'm getting ti the point I dont speak openly about things anymore because a close minded person won't believe why you say if you show them the evidence Charley that's why you dont hear the other side coming from combat vets they know haters choose not to believe from those who know.

Social conservative doesn't imply any of those things you state. I'm not racist, homophobic, afraid of Muslims (or any other religion) and my decisions about the social climate are based upon facts and not the prevailing winds which change day to day of what is socially acceptable or not. I'm not a social justice warrior that sits there and eats their young in mock rage because one of their own said something that might be construed as not progressive enough.

The burden doesn't lie with me to prove i'm not a racist. the burden lies with you who is calling me one. Go ahead and show me in any of my posts where i'm racist?

 

[botamico]

I believe personal responsibility and accountability, regardless of what side you're on. Don't believe everything you hear, and definitely do your research. I don't support or oppose trump.
