    CNN Panel Mocks Kanye West as Trump’s ‘Token Negro'

    A CNN panel hosted by anchor Don Lemon took turns lacing into Kanye West on Tuesday evening, joking that his embrace of President Donald Trump has caused him to be tokenized. Several referred to him using the term “negro.”

    “He’s an attention whore, like the president. He’s all of a sudden now the model spokesperson. He’s the token negro of the Trump administration,” said CNN contributor Tara Setmeyer.

    “This is ridiculous and no one should be taking Kanye West seriously. He clearly has issues. He’s already been hospitalized,” she continued. “Not to trivialize mental health issues, [but] obviously Kanye has taken a turn in a very strange way.”
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

    Remember, kids... Racism is Bad, mmmkay? The Left doesn't Endorse Racism*

    *Unless they're a minority person who disagrees with us on the Left... then fire all known relevant racial slurs towards them

      Condoleezza Rice, Michael Steele and others can testify to that. If you dare leave the plantation that the nice Democrats established for you then racial slurs are not only acceptable but seemingly required.

        I think Kanye is a complete idiot for a lot of reasons, but this is going too far. Apparently it's ok to be racist as long as the black person is conservative.

            It isn't, at least in my case. Having talked with a friend of mine, this has been status quo for quite some time.

              That part isn't the surprise. What surprised me was how long it took for them to go there...

                  It's really good to have you back and posting here hamster. I've missed your short and witty comments. I'd post a emote, but my toxic masculinity won't allow it.

                    thanks. Not to derail the thread, I've been popping in here and there. Lots of trials in the last eight years but I'm trying to keep at least a tenuous grasp on contact with the outside world

                          Because you're a racist.

                            Why?
                            Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                            But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                            Than a fool in the eyes of God
