tl;dw:

Isaac: Saying something racist out of ignorance does not make you a racist person. It just makes what you said racist. Racist people are racist in their hearts.

Lemon: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE....

OK but doesn't that clip show his son denouncing Trump right at the beginning?

The fuck is your point by bringing his nephew into this?

its the conservative gameplan of "this minority said this one thing i agree with"...
---

You can get an idea of how far Mal has degenerated by just how much of the alt-right buzzwords he's started using in his posts
---

The guy being interviewed seems very smart and reasonable. He's the kind of moderate rationale we need.

He's family, her's a part of that legacy directly, so if a relative speaks about rump not really being racist, it's like direct word of mouth from mlk himself, and don lemon knows this and cant fight back.

Anybody else wanna see Don Lemon interview Trump again?

Isaac is right in spirit. People say or do racist things from ignorance rather than spite. With Trump though, it's deliberate intent.

And, more importantly, he represents us. He shouldnt be saying ignorant things

I'm still wait for racist Trump to say or do something racist

Don Lemon reminds me of Tucker Carlson, but for audiences on the left. Theyre both funny to watch when they have a guest who has them even just a bit stumped as to how to treat.

The right needs to make up their mind about Don Lemon. One day he's "one of the good ones" (like when he criticises BLM), the next day he's a "uppity black guy" (like when he calls Trump racist)

Might want to get your side on the same page before you start criticizing the other. When Lemon is throwing out stats about how 70% of black dads abandon their kids, liberals can't call him Uncle Tom fast enough. When he's shitting on Trump, every liberal rag quotes him as the left-wing authority on race.

that was a fabulous interview.

.....Is MLK's nephew supposed to be an authority on something?

Saying one person represents their entire race is racist. Anyone that judges an entire race based on what one guy says is idiotic no matter if their judgement is positive or not.

He's the token "Donald Trump isn't racist" Black guy
---

Well this completely unrelated person said it, so it must be true.
---

That was an uncomfortable 15 minutes.

I'm kinda surprised Don Lemon point blank accused Isaac of capitalizing on the MLK name despite not being immediate family. Like, damn. That's a way to ruin a friendship.

I'm pretty sure don lemon shitposts on gamefaqs in his free time.

Don lemon is a fuckboy

>White supremacists seeing implicit support in Donald Trump's statements isn't proof that Donald Trump is a racist.
>MLK Jr's nephew's refusal to recognize Donald Trump as a racist is proof that Donald Trump isn't a racist.

Lol Mal, you just keep on with them hot takes.

"Noooooo!!!! You are not supposed to say that!!!" *shakes fist*

Don Lemon had a fuckin meltdown talking to the nephew of MLK. He gets all angry at his guest for suggesting that Trump's actions may be ignorant or racist, but that doesnt make him racist himself.

The guy scrambles and reads notes his producers left for him and each time the nephew owns his logic. Good on him for sticking to the true definition of racism and being impartial instead of getting caught up in the hysteria of CNN and their narrative. He was open minded and he was fair considering he compromised on the issues.

Then CNN has the audacity to acuse this guy of riding the coattails of MLK - when the irony is CNN invited him on the show for no other reason because he was MLK's nephew! CNN was riding his legacy; not the nephew.

But CNN and Don Lemon believe all women should think the same (and those that didnt vote for Hillary are awful people), but now all African Americans need to subscribe to a hive mindset? Who are the racist ones exactly?
---

lmao what a clown literally talking over him and silencing him the whole time.

proves the other dudes point that you can't discuss this shit because no one gives you the chance
---

why do white people always gotta latch onto the one minority that parrots their own opinions, then put them up on a pedestal so they can ignore the opinions of literally all the other minorities

---

I've seen many clips of Don Lemon arguing with guests by lying and attempting to gaslight. He's pretty scummy.

So you think calling the president dumb is better than calling him racist.

MLK's nephew is more in line with MLK's teachings than his own son.

Sad.

He is line with MLK teaching because he says what racist republicans think..LOL
---

MLK's nephew said that Trump said some racist things out of ignorance but it doesn't make him a racist, so how many racist things or acts that a person has to do before they're a legit racist? I'm curious. Does it take a video recorded statement, a letter drafted and stamped by a notary saying "I'm a racist"?
