While preaching diversity, Don Lemon lives in one of the whitest places on Earth
Hello H:
So, I suppose you believe that since Al Gore didn't ride a bike everywhere and live in a yurt, that he was just preaching too...
Dude!
Taking your argument to its logical conclusion, since Bernie Sanders owns 2 houses and makes money selling books on the internet, you could say that he's a raging capitalist...

When you bitch about the climate and pollute like a mother fucker, you're a fake, phony piece of shit. Be sure and point out the flaw in my logic you brainwashed bootlicker.

But, you wouldn't say that, would you??
Yes I would. He preached Socialism, and that made him alot of money in the Capitalist world. Either he was always a Capitalist posing as a Socialist to you gullable dipshits, or he he is now once he tasted its fruits. Actions tell us everything we need to know.
Aren't you the same phony jackass that said there were no kids in cages at the border, got proven wrong and is now comfortable with the cages because it's your white masters telling you they are child comfortability zones and not "Nazi death camps"? Yep, you're that same weak, pathetic, unable to think for himself slave doing as Massa commands. Oh, and put on your God damned mask boy because the white liberal says so. Stay on your knees, and live there forever. If you are weak enough to be led by the nose, then you deserve to be nothing but a fieldhand forever because you chose it for yourself. I have no pity for the man who consciously chooses to be the bitch for the white authoritarians running the left. If you need a white man to tell you when you can shit and when you can't, that's your problem. Deal with it and quit whining like a little girl.
Please permit me to respectfully suggest that some caution needs to be exercised when dealing with the likes of excon.
When confronted with the truth such participants immediately engage in THE-WHATABOUTERY form of counter-argument in a ploy to avoid answering the issue(s) outlined in the thrust of any anti-leftist thread.
This foxy debating manoeuvre normally wrong foots the debate-creator who usually takes the bait and goes off on a tangent and spends most of their time addressing the irrelevant issues raised in the challenger's red-herring.
Note how when the embarrassing nonsense of Biden's incoherent gobbledegook is highlighted the loony lefties immediately try to divert attention away from our doddering President's senility by introducing some of the actions of former President Trump.
When we hear Donald Trump publicly addressing his supporters it's like a BREATH of FREASH AIR.

Hello H:
To think the way to INFLUENCE the discussion over climate change is to REMOVE yourself from the grid, live in a yurt, and ride a bike, is STUPID, STUPID. STUPID.
The main issue here, is that you can't really take anything that Don says legitimately. He's one of the same far left sociopaths that been fine with people being dragged from their cars, and beaten in the streets. As well as being wholly racist on live TV, so he's nothing more than the exact same thing that he pretends to stand against.
This is the same man who stated that Donald Trump was a racist, claiming that it was fact and not opinion.
However when Biden made an obvious racist statement against blacks, one that drew him an intense amount of criticism from both parties. Lemon instead went to bat for Biden, much like he does now, and stated that he Understood what Joe was trying to say.. apparently gearing up for his daily defense of the man, in the years to come.
Don is nothing but a pretender at this point. He's racist, bigoted, corrupt, and more than willing to thumb his own morals so long as it keeps him in the good graces of those around him.
What is your opinion on the topic which highlights the hypocritical leftist ideologues who seize every opportunity to do some showboating by throwing their purity-balls at those who are behaving exactly the same as they are themselves?
Same as anyone else who does it. If you are going to spend the time preaching about something and condemning others for it, you need to do your best to behave the way you want (or expect) others to emulate.
Well, yes, o.k., but I see this topic as identifying the hypocrisy of this smooth talking rabble rousing phony preaching liberalism to us while his chosen lifestyle is opposite to his self-righteous pulpitry.
Most left-wingers are tarred with this character-flaw of double standards.
I see where you want the topic to focus on and I get it, but I see this topic as an issue that spreads across the board on all sides. Lefty, Righty, Indy....it is a problem that isn't indicative of any one side but is more an issue of elitist's attempting to show those 'beneath' them how they should live, without in fact living said lifestyle themselves. That can range from your example (which I believe is fairly flawed, a black man living in the 'whitest place' can be the beginning of diversity, it doesn't always happens at once) to mega churches refusing to open their doors to the poor and needy at any time but particularly during times of crisis. They have the money and the voice to be far reaching, whether they have the desire to practice what they preach has yet to be seen.
I feel it is wrong to accept that the manipulative elite, who don't lead by example and regardless of their political affiliation or religious dogma should be allowed to spew out their sanctimonious drivel without being challenged.
When these sickening double standards are identified the lefties will expose the hypocritical right-wingers and the conservatives will point out the hollow moralizing of the liberal loony left.
It must be recognized and accepted however that it is primarily the left-wingers who try to curry favor with the working class electorate, are the ones who indulge in the practise of deceptive self-representation.
As the prominent leftist celebrities and politicians publicly promote themselves as the champions of the poor down-trodden masses they do so just before returning to their luxury homes in 'white idealsville' with private security.
Absolutely they should be challenged. Anyone who is a part of the 'manipulative elite' (I like that term) should be challenged or at least what they say should be researched using credible sources. They have a power that few do in that they have a large group of people who listen to them and some who take their opinion as fact when it is simply opinion.
Just as some prominent leftist celeb's and politicians promote themselves as champions of the poor, there are some prominent righties both celeb and politician who have an incredibly warped/jaded view and understanding on how the poor live. The simple fact is, very few if any who have risen in status (both financially and in popularity/power) tend to lose their ability to really realize or understand how 'the other side' lives. If one is going to challenge the social norm for the majority of society, they need to live it. Otherwise it's just blowing hot air to the people who could use help or need change, and not really believing in the message.
We do seem to be 'as one' on this subject and have listed many of the ongoing social problems resulting from our hard-bitten, money grabbing power crazy politicians.
The mindset of our callous politicians has been moulded either by them being from a wealthy background and not understanding the miseries of poverty or having been brought up in the squalor of financial hardship and justifying their high-living by rationalizing that they worked hard to lift themselves up while the great-unwashed didn't have the drive or ability to do so.
What seems to be the insurmountable problem is exemplified in the old adage;- ''power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely''.
We could add a prefix to that;- rich or poor.
Politicians seem to have a knack of displaying most of the character failings in the human psyche';- Greed, lust, indifference to the plight of others, hatred, moral corruption and narcissism.
Same as anyone else who does it. If you are going to spend the time preaching about something and condemning others for it, you need to do your best to behave the way you want (or expect) others to emulate.
I expect to not be told "be less white" isn't racist, yet here we are. And you coddle the people doing it, so here we are twice.
@ GrinchSanta:- Coca-Cola, one of the world's largest soft drinks manufacturers introduced the slogan;- ''TRY TO BE LESS WHITE'' at one of its management seminars, with the intention of adopting this blatant racial slur as its trademark catchphrase.
Can any dispassionate and genuinely objective person try to explain what the back-lash (Black-lash) would have been had the proposed promotional maxim been directed towards Bongos?
Starting point;- Coca-Cola's manufacturing installations and distribution depots would have been burnt to the ground world-wide and their executives would have had to go into hiding.
The leftist filth would be rioting and looting any outlet which sold this unhealthy liquid witch's Brew.
