Once again, Dona Lemon dipped into the racist rhetoric, describing Kanye’s appearance as a symptom of mental illness and a “minstrel show” that would embarrass his dead mother…#KanyeWest has set us back 155 years. Wish #SojournerTruth could have met him outside the White House and #FrederickDouglas inside the Oval Office.@BarackObama never would have become President with this crap.

But, let’s meet #Kayne on #ElectionDay by voting for Democrats. https://t.co/nmapsl7pK3
CNN doubling down on anti-Kanye racism. Don Lemon says his appearance today was a "minstrel show." Later said he has "has no credence and no credibility in the black community." pic.twitter.com/M3jdKtJh1s

Look, as I’ve said before, I don’t entirely know what to make of Kanye’s political opinions. However, I do know that – whatever they are – it’s not for other people to judge him insane because of them. Don Lemon may pay some trifling lip service to the idea that he’s not talking about left or right, but I guarantee you he would not be attacking Kanye if he’d done precisely the same thing in support of a Democrat President. The simple fact is that they’re afraid. As I’ve discussed in the past, it would only take a small percentage shift in the black vote to ensure that Democrats never win another election. They are desperate to diminish whatever influence Kanye has.THEY WILL TELL YOU TO SPEAK YOUR MIND, TO BE ORIGINAL, AND WHEN YOU DO IT, THEY CALL YOU CRAZY
