+30K Signatures & Rising: Petition To Remove Don Lemon From CNN Gains Steam

DON-LEMON-Please-Fire-Me

“We, the people, want a journalist and an anchor that will not be afraid to accept the facts that are occurring within the African-American community and who will encourage our people the same way that person will encourage others across the board. We, the people, have no confidence in Mr. Lemon’s ability to do that.” ~Jamell Henderson, Brooklyn, NY

In less than five-years he’s gone from a CNN newbie news reporter … to snatch’in himself a taste here, a taste there of the desk … to plotting a secret plan to overthrow the competition … proving his plot to success after pulling a full fleged — all PINK errythang — takeover ousting the OG from his seat! Don’t believe me.. Just ask TJ Holmes! He is Don Lemon — unarguably, Amerikkka’s favorite anchorman.

“His journalistic style is to use shock value because he sometimes lacks substance. I rarely find myself informed by Don Lemon. He uses a lot of theatrics … buffoonery and minstrelsy.” ~V. Nenaji Jackson, Ph.D., professor of African Studies at California State University Los Angeles

That would be the same Don Lemon responsible for reporting “the smell of marijuana” in Ferguson’s air … suggested “a black hole” may have “swallowed” Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 … took it upon himself to speak for a set of nameless, faceless “Black and Hispanic people in New York City” who all supposedly had no problem with the city’s stop-question-and-frisk issues … and, Lemon[head’s] suspect “puppetry” posed over a set of blurred lines and partition professions … partitions clearly contrived for the purpose of pull’in a textbook Sun Tsu “divide and conquer” play placing “civil rights” aside from “equal rights” … this, while keeping the “movements” masked together under the same umbrella, of course … It’s no wonder why one Brooklyn Brother was prompted to launch a petition for CNN to give Don Lemon the boot. Just days after launching the change.org petition, Jamell Henderson has witnessed the birth of “an entire movement” … proving “We the People” stand together against tom and his attempt to turn out our kids!

“I’m disappointed that someone I used to look up to now is someone that I have trouble respecting as a journalist. Mr. Lemon has failed his responsibility because he seems to forget the true essence of journalism: to call the news how you see it and not judge, defame or antagonize.” ~Jamell Henderson

CNN-OFFENSIVE-COMMENTARY

Here’s how the petition to CNN reads:

Since the tragic incident of Trayvon Martin in 2012, CNN anchor Don Lemon has consistently antagonized and defamed the characteristics of African-Americans on the national scale in his mass communications. From the holding of the ‘N’ word sign before the national audience to disrespecting the Mayor of Baltimore to his most recent comments of the unfortunate incident where a student was removed from her chair like a rag-doll by a police officer, Mr. Lemon has avoided the chance to state the obvious: the challenges that face African-Americans are real and that solutions need to be found.

Mr. Lemon and I have some things in common — we are both African-American men who graduated from Brooklyn College and care deeply about public affairs. I know that for his field, it wasn’t easy to get his name out there, but that he worked hard every day to get to where he is at right now. But what concerns me is that Lemon has repeatedly failed to fulfill his responsibility to remain objective and unbiased in his work. As a news anchor, Mr. Lemon’s job is to present the facts to the public, but time and time again, he has presented his opinion as fact—even when that opinion is contradicted by reality and common sense. That’s unacceptable for a journalist.

I’m disappointed that someone I used to look up to now is someone that I have trouble respecting as a journalist. Please join me in calling on CNN to remove Mr. Lemon from his role at the network.

Mr. Lemon has failed his responsibility because he seems to forget the true essence of journalism: to call the news how you see it and not judge, defame or antagonize. We, the people, want a journalist and an anchor that will not be afraid to accept the facts that are occurring within the African-American community and who will encourage our people the same way that person will encourage others across the board. We, the people, have no confidence in Mr. Lemon’s ability to do that. Therefore, we are asking CNN to remove him from his position.

  1. CNN is the problem and even if they fire him which I don't believe they will, there will be always be another willing sell out to take his place sadly.

    #CNN Doesn't Care About Black People

  2. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. OK now that I have stopped laughing my ass off at the possibility of CNN firing their #1 most fan favorite star(and yes, even over Andy Cooper) I'll just say that I admire the sense of irony in Mr. Henderson's plea for citizen action.
    However, I agree that the greatest threat to black men in the US today is not from racist cops. Maybe 25 BM are killed a year by a cop who is motivated purely by racism. How many black men are killed by black men within the framework of a criminal endeavor? That is the clear and present danger to the black population and Don Lemon, me and anyone with their head not firmly planted in their ass knows.

    Focus on the enemy for it is us.

  3. Don't forget the shit he pulled in St Louis faking the protest & was exposed on YouTube, he the gay male version of soledad o Brian & u see where that heifer is. Mainstream likes those blacks even Melissa dumb ass on MSNBC because these are the only blacks acceptable for their format of the divide and conquer scheme.

    • And I still don't understand why the Delta Sigma Thgeta made her an honorary member. That bitch urks me with her tactics.

      • Dont know which one u reffering to soledad or Melissa but being in a sorority is no surprise wit these chicks they took the oath too I dunno if they signed in blood but they are some eastern star mason chicks that follow rituals.

        • Soledad is a Delta Sigma Theta. One minute she is on your side the next she is cloning and swooning to make herself so damn irrelevant til its pitiful.

  4. All news media outlets are lies and less than 90% truth. I say we boycott all of them, they only seem to care about coins and ratings. If we kill the ratings we stop the coin. FYI CNN has been caught lying on live news so they have no creditbility.

    • Yeah that'll work. I got news for you: blacks aren't even a crumb o the 24 hour news channels audience.

      Maybe this boycott will go better than the one NBA is fixed was promoting. He urged all to boycott Straight Outta Compton and it became the highest grossing black themed film of all time! Good Job!

  5. We should not look at the call to boycotts as to whether or not they will make a dent in the pocketbook of the powers that be. To tell the truth, boycotts are more for our mind set and mind frame so that we exercise free thought and free will. That is more of a threat than anything.

    Melissa Harris Perry and Don Lemon are entertainment entities used in a journalistic setting. That is why they are always throwing out trial balloons rather than really discussing the ORIGINS AND HISTORY behind the existence of the state of Black people today.

    The real reason for the Rockefeller laws, the crack-sandinista-iran hostage, the heroin epidemic, the welfare clause that fathers must not be present in the household, the lack of black police officers, etc.

    But naw, 'cuz that would be JOURNALISM.

    When mainstream media wakes up and realizes most people are on alternative media, the black entertainers posing as journalists, like Harris-Perry and Lemon will be the first to be let go.

  6. Melissa Harris Perry has never sold Black People out and or humiliated us on her tv show, she should not be in the slightest way compared to Don Lemon

    • That bitch divides and conquer with her views on women's lib/ Now don't do shit for blk women , just destroy blk men ! She down with all that … Knowing that abortions are the number one killer of blk lives matter she supports killing of blk fetus this makes her worse than lemon !

  7. So when are black people gonna wake up and figure out that our politicians, media moguls, entertainers, "leaders", most preachers ARE ALL TO BE BOYCOTTED???

  8. lmfao i say i think mr white man should wreck this nigga's asshole and plaster it throughout every block LOL

  9. There will be more black people standing in the white supramacist line, desperate for the chance to betray the black community and make lots of money. Why? Because there is absolutely no reprocussions or punishment for acting like a sambo! There is nothing but rewards and the chance to live like a modern day house slave. Not one single black American who has souled out the black community has gotten their ass whipped. Until Charles Barkley, Raven Symone, Stacey Dash and Don Lemon get their asses kicked, they will continue to commit treason against the black race in exchange for a six or seven figure paycheck! #we have no money and no power!

  10. What do you expect? He is a puppet and their god send for the white media. He is a traitor and this is what you will get when you're suxN the white man's dick.
