Enjoy.

quote:

CNN anchor Don Lemon declared that "the biggest terror threat in this country is white men," adding that "there is no travel ban on them" in an exchange that has prompted rebuke from conservatives on social media.

"I keep trying to point out to people and not to demonize any one group or any one ethnicity," Lemon said to fellow CNN anchor Chris Cuomo during a handoff of their respective programs late Monday. "But we keep thinking that the biggest terror threat is something else, someone people who are marching, you know, towards the border, like it's imminent." "And the last time they did this, a couple hundred people came and they — you know, most of them did get into the country, most of them tired — you know, got tuckered out before they made it to the border," he continued. "

So, we have to stop demonizing people and 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," Lemon concluded. "There is no travel ban on them. There is no ban on — you know, they had the Muslim ban. There is no white guy ban."

Poli board...

But Lemon is a fricking idiot. Statistically this is such a horribly inaccurate statement.

Imagine if someone pointed out that black males account for around 6% of the population but something absurd like 45% of all violent crime. He'd be bigly mad.

Simple math of voting numbers tells you this isn't true. Don't let facts get in the way though.

That's why so many have resorted to wearing blackface so as to try and not appear terrifying.

I mean statistically it’s true. There’s been way more mass killings by white males with right wing ideologies than by Muslims.

Now maybe we’ve foiled a lot of Muslim ones. But if your killed in a random spree killing it’s much more likely you’re killer was an angry white guy than a Muslim. The difference is there are groups of Muslims actively attempting to carry out attacks, whereas the white guys are mostly individually radicalized.

Was going to do that but we recently had a thread on the OT discussing race and several posters implied that there was no real animus towards white men in media.

Percentage wise black men commit more crime based on the only 13% black population in the US so we should ban black men? WTF This Lemon is an idiot.
