Don Lemon on Job Numbers for Blacks: ‘What’s Full Employment Without Full Respect?’

If Lemon wasn't black and a queer, he's be bagging groceries somewhere.

What's respect without a job?

Gotta keep that "victim" mentality going...

“But what’s full employment without full respect?”

You get respect by being responsible, contributing members of society. High employment rates are a big step toward that

Alert neutrality is what we should give people. Only give respect when earned. Listen to Every one respect very few

Ok, how is that measured?

If it can’t be measured, it can’t be solved.

Respect is earned, not given.

I respect those who show they care about what they do, regardless of the job. In my line of work, skin color and genitalia don't matter. All that matters is whether you can do the job with a good attitude. Everything else just gets in the way.

Last night I was actually watching CNN, flipping channels.. and there was a special called “1968” on. Obviously it was a huge point in counterculture and free speech, and all that. But one of the things that jumped out to me that they talked about. One - that “Night Of The Living Dead” came out, and there were these 2 African Americans commentators who both thought the killing of the lead character (a black man) was a euphemism for the white people killing black people. And two - about how during the 1968 Olympics, those 2 sprinters stood on the podium after winning gold and silver and raised a fist.

But here we are 50 years later, and there’s a machine virtually in place to keep them down. To keep them from ever rising above, and they so eagerly beat that drum.

Even after Barack Obama has been president. But...but Kanye says something positive about Trump and he’s turned on.

It’s a narrative that I honestly think will never pass in my lifetime, nor my children’s. And that is so very sad to me.
