CNN’s Don Lemon: ‘I Don’t Know’ If Americans See Black People As ‘Fully Human’

Following his shocking comments about Americans opposed to mandating Critical Race Theory be taught in schools, CNN’s Don Lemon suggested, in an interview with the Washington Post, that Americans do not believe black people are “fully human” and that American “deserved” President Donald Trump in order to come to terms with the country’s systemic racism.

“We’re living in two different realities as Black and White people,” Lemon’s interview began.

From there, the host launched into a diatribe on race relations and claimed that Trump prompted his overall commitment to exposing “systemic racism.”

“It was a wake-up call to White people who thought we were living in a nonracist world,” Lemon said of Trump’s election. “We’re living in two different realities as Black and White people. We knew, as Black people, what was lurking beneath the surface. I still believe that he was the necessary wake-up for America to realize just how racist it is.”
