Nice Negroes, and a "bad boyfriend" has a birthday.

I love when some folks try to play the nice Negro.


Don Lemon is the latest example of playing the nice Negro role. He was busy talking about unifying America and coming together as a nation on the radio today. Apparently he was inspired by all the unity Americans were showing for each other around the World Cup, and the love the players showed for each other on the pitch.


Don, bless his heart, doesn't want us to be Americans with a "prefix" anymore.


Anyway, here are just some of the comments directed at Don the nice Negro.

"This is cool if he means don't be a hyphenated American.
This would be even more cool if he means give up your grievances."


"Is this a joke? All liberals do is label people. It defines who they are. Don Lemon's gay. I know that because he has to announce it to the world. He labels himself. Liberals really are a clueless bunch"


"He's not centrist. He just likes to lecture people of his own liberal ideology, on occasion, as if he's an authority on anything - instead of a moronic talking head....He doesn't mean his warm & fuzzy rhetoric as a joke, but he IS a joke."


"I do believe the lettters STFU Don Lemon apply here.
Just STFU and leave us alone. You do not matter.
We do not like you.You are annoying and more than less informed.
Crawl back into whatever cable news hole you came out of.
Just go. Don't say a thing. Just go.
Idiot"


Don, in case you didn't notice, most Americans don't know the words to Kumbaya anymore. (See Anthony Cumia's latest rant)That all changed about six years ago.


Anyway, reading what Don Lemon had to say got me thinking about what Denise Clay wrote for Solomon Jones.com. It is a much more cynical, and some would argue, realistic view of America.


"Sometimes for people of color, America is like this really bad boyfriend that has taken your brand new car without permission, smashed it into a wall, given you no help with car payments or gas, but because you love him and he's always apologetic, you stay."


To stay with the analogy, I guess the 4th of July is like your anniversary, and he just brought you a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
