I’m no fan of Megyn Kelly, but this double standard is glaring and obvious. The “mainstream” left doesn’t even attempt to hide its hate, intolerance and racism. These are indeed astonishing times we are living in. The very anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan enjoys mainstream acceptance today, and no one on the left says a word in protest. He was at Aretha Franklin’s funeral, alongside Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Bill Clinton — all of whom stood center stage. And now this. And at the same time, Twitter removes conservatives for the slightest infraction, real or trumped-up, but Farrakhan continues to spew his venom unhindered.

It wasn’t the first time for Hill or CNN:
Story continues below advertisement
“Did CNN Anchor Really Endorse the Anti-Semitic Nation of Islam?,” by Mike Opelka, The Blaze, May 7, 2014 (thanks to Armaros):
Was he joking?
Perhaps Don Lemon was trying to make co-host and CNN regular contributor Marc Lamont Hill believe that he has a little “street cred,” or maybe the CNN anchor actually thinks the Nation of Islam is a group worthy of his support and endorsement.
See, during CNN’s Saturday evening coverage of the run-up to the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, Lemon and Hill were bantering back and forth. At one point, Lemon asked Hill to critique his outfit and touched his bow tie. Hill replied by asking, “Bean pie my brother?”
When there was no reaction from the two white commentators that were part of the segment, Lemon felt the need to explain what Hill meant by the “bean pie” reference after Hill said, “For all the black people in the audience, that was really funny.”
“You did not get what he said,” Lemon said, before adding, “He was asking me — I have a Final Call for you. Where is it? And a bean pie. He’s saying that I look like a member of the Nation of Islam. That’s OK. I like them. I live on 123rd Street. They’re always at 125th Street subway stop and I buy my Final Call.”
Final Call is the newsletter sold on the streets by members of the Nation of Islam and bean pies are a ubiquitous item sold in neighborhoods where the Nation of Islam has a strong presence.
“The Final Call today — the one they were selling — was about torture in American prisons. I buy it every time I see it,” Lemon reitterated.
That’s right, Lemon was proudly sharing his knowledge of the controversial organization that has been called a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. It’s also odd considering that in his 2011 autobiography, Lemon came out as a gay man. Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan has publicly called homosexuality a sin.
The exchange between Hill and Lemon seemed lighthearted but Lemon appeared to want Hill to know just how much he knew about the Nation of Islam….

An excellent example of what I have been saying all along…many media outlets are propaganda mouthpieces for islam and Antisemitism.

Or maybe it’s an urban thing that whites really don’t understand. Bean pie and sweet potato pie to go are common in corner stores in black neighborhoods, but not outside them. The article is from Newsbusters—based in suburban DC. They wouldn’t understand inner-city culture. Those criticizing CNN should be suffocated; they wouldn’t be missed.

“Or maybe”..they are!! With that said, when farrakhan’s name is mentioned, I think of so many Afro-Americans who call themselves muslims. But yet, their own brothers (muslims) have been in the African Slave Trade since the 8th century and to this very day!. Blacks, especially Afro-Americans who call themselves muslims should be ashamed of themselves. islam, the enemy of mankind.

Bean pie and sweet potato pie are ALL over the southern US. Those dishes weren’t developed by, or for, African descent Americans. Rather, they are part and parcel of southern culture and cuisine.
Now, do yourself a VERY large favor. Stop ATTEMPTING to address your social and intellectual betters. Don’t you realize how many people laugh AT you, as you HUMILIATE yourself?

More of your bird-brained, intellectually challenged rubbish! You just don’t get it, do you? One thing we do understand very clearly, Marc Lamont Hill and Don Lemon are two black racists who easily escape getting fired when open in their support of a black racist like Louis Farrakhan and anti-Semites like the Nation of Islam scum. Were white employees of CNN to show warm support for a white racist and his group, they’d be fired – as has been Megyn Kelly for saying ‘the wrong thing’ – yet when hypocrite Hill proves warmly disposed toward a vile piece of racists and anti-Semitic filth like Louis Farrakhan, and Lemon tell us he “likes those people” they continue on their merry way unpunished. Why? Because a lot of America’s white liberals are too cowardly and unprincipled to apply to racists blacks, the rules they apply to whites.

Depends on how you define racist. Many people deal with Farrakhan off he job.

In 48 other states. NY is not 48 other states. (The other exception is California.) Your example of Megyn Kelly is invalid, because Kelly was an overall ratings albatross and NBC was trying to get her off the talent roster, even eating her contract to do so.

“Those criticizing CNN should be suffocated;”
Liberals are truly the party of violence. even against people whose only crime is to criticize the News PAC of the Democrat party. How very facist.
“Liberals produce MOBS; republicans produce JOBS”
so true these days.

That’s not violence. It’s called self-defense against liars. If the claims by CNN were false, they’d be willing to do so in a professional townhall-style forum. But they can’t. That’s not fascism either!
“Liberals produce MOBS; republicans produce JOBS”
That’s a lie. The mobs have no connection to the party. Republican job claims—I need independent trade organization verification before believing.

If it’s “an urban thing” then those who live in “urban” areas understand it. It has nothing to do with race. You’re on “automatic”.
And there are many things about “whites” which blacks “really don’t understand”. So what? No one understands everything about everybody. Your mantra is part of the endless reproach of whites who’re called not only to “understand”, but to embrace, everything about “blacks”. The Black conservatives I know find this really stupid, along with hilarious. But of course: Blacks who’re conservative really aren’t Black at all, right?

You would if you did research.

More like a question of their intelligence and ulterior motives.

But I’m not interested in doing “research” AE. As for “urban culture”: Seriously?
You mean like, tons of crime? 90% of births being illegitimate, starting at age 12? Generational dependence on welfare, WIC, social services?
And my Black conservative friends-you don’t know them, but you know enough to “question their intelligence and ulterior motives”?
To quote Miss Elizabeth Bennett from Pride and Prejudice: “How astonishing to profess so much knowledge about something of which you are completely ignorant.”

Questioning is good AE. But you’re pronouncing.
And no one’s “history indicates altruism”. Everyone has their own subjective bent. And in the case of the subject we’ve been discussing, educating oneself is expected to go one way: Whites have to learn about Black culture. Newsflash: It goes both ways, or should.
And shame on you for not being a “Pride and Prejudice” fan! That’s just…beyond the pale.

A walking, talking mess of contradictions, that ol’ dumb-cluck Don Lemon.
I’m quite sure the fascist, homophobic Nation of islam boys don’t feel the same affection for him.
The left’s embrace of islam in any form is just mindlessly ignorant.

The NOI is of course stupendously racist (Whites are “Devils”). I experienced this firsthand on one occasion:
I was driving in Kansas City, Mo. and saw one of the Nation’s members hawking their newspaper. I was interested, and pulled over to get a copy. I’d already seen that he was simply giving it to Blacks.
When I asked for a copy, the man said, “it costs a dollar”. I responded that I’d just watched him giving it, freely, to a number of people. He looked embarrassed for a moment, then said, “Well…it’s not really for Whites.”
“Really!”, I responded. “Well: I’ve never read one of these before, and I have a dollar. May I buy one?”. Whereupon this…creature turned away from me, and continued his giveaway.
When I finally read one, I saw why he wouldn’t give it to whites. It’s a sewer of the worst filth and racism v whites, you’ve ever seen. Way to go Louis!

CNN seems to care almost NOTHING for the welfare and feelings of the Jews.
