This week, CNN host Don Lemon made this explicitly racist comment:

“We have to stop demonizing people & realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them.”

CNN did not apologize
2 weeks ago, a CNN host Don Lemon laughed hysterically when a panelist did these racist things about Kanye:

- “Kanye is what happens when negroes don’t read”
- "Black folks are about to trade Kanye West in the racial draft”
- “Kanye’s an attention whore, like the president”
Here’s a CNN employee today saying “white newsrooms don’t get the job done.”

This is not soft racism allowed & promoted by CNN.
It’s hard racism.
By all definition.

It’s a double standard

CNN is not even attempting to be intellectually consistent.
