“There’s no question today’s job report is good news, including the news that we’re as closest we’ve ever been to full employment in the black community,” Lemon conceded before asking, “But what’s full employment without full respect?”

Self respect is the only true respect a person can ever have and it is all that is needed.

That probably sounded profound in his head.

I loved the remark that guy on Gutfeld's show made last night. "Don Lemon's show consists of a panel of experts explaining Anderson Cooper's show to Lemon."

Donald Trump has made black unemployment a key issue since his election. If that isn't a sign of respect, what is?
This.
We've seen him on multiple occasions reach out to them, hold meetings with black leaders, appoint them to positions of prominence in his campaign and cabinet and business, and more importantly, put words to action improving the outlook for black Americans, and yet now the narrative is that what he's done for blacks doesn't count because there's no respect? What in the actual frick does that mean?
I was NO Obama fan, but frick, I could at least give him credit when it was due (albeit very seldom) but these assholes break their backs to discredit Trump at every single turn. It's astounding.

Obama put more people on food stamps than anyone in history.
He did NOTHING and the left knows it.
Thus the need for a new narrative.

Respect is earned

Well his statement implies that there is a lack of respect. Why not show some tangible proof of that extremely vague implication?
If you don't clearly articulate your point do you really have one? Not really.

Reading the Roland Lazenby biography of Michael Jordan, I found this interesting:
Also this:
quote:
The deep sadness the whole family felt at Dawson's passing perhaps reinforced Michael's newly discovered racial anger. He didn't know every detail of his [great-grandfather's] life, but he had only to look at the pain deep in the old man's face to get an idea of how troubled his restless journey had been and of the many senseless barriers he had been forced to endure.
Later that year a girl at school called Michael a "n-----."
"I threw a soda at her," he recalled. "It was a very tough year. I was really rebelling. I considered myself a racist at that time. Basically, I was against all white people.
Jordan was suspended for the incident. But rather than let him spend his days at home, his mother required that he sit in her car in the parking lot of the bank where she worked, so that she could keep an eye on him from the teller's window. That way she could make sure has was doing his schoolwork and staying out of trouble. Michael was furious, and years later the would joke with her that the situation presented an obvious case of child abuse. Yet Deloris got her message across. Over the course of the following months, she talked time and again about the wasted energy of bitterness and racial anger, how destructive they could be to a young boy. It wasn't about forgetting but about forgiving, she said.
It would take more than a year for the message to sink in and the feelings to subside. "The education came from my parents," Jordan recalled. "You have to be able to say, OK, that happened back then. Now let's take it from here and see what happens. It would be very easy to hate people for the rest of your life, and some people have done that. You've got to deal with what's happening now and try to make things better."

Beyond the gifts and involvement, the greatest impact of their parenting came in the constant shaping of the children's attitudes. They preached a constant refrain: Work hard. Achieve. Set goals. Think ahead. Don't be denied. Be considerate. Don't dwell on race.

Don Lemon makes Jerry Springer look like Walter Cronkite

He does have a point.
He's black and employed, and I have absolutely no respect for that liberal sky screaming pickle smoocher.
