A black news anchor with CNN has sidestepped the cable outlet’s normally leftist leanings to criticize some in his own camp for over-the-top political correctness, saying the anti-First Amendment atmosphere has grown to the point of damaging society.
CNN “Tonight” host Don Lemon said in a radio commentary for Black America Web the P.C. atmosphere has become “dangerous,” and that his 25 years in the media profession has shown him progressives are among the “least tolerant” in America, Mediaite reported.
Lemon’s comments came in context of discussing comedian Jerry Seinfeld’s recent rants about the difficulty of performing on college campuses due to the rampant politically correct culture.
The openly “gay” Lemon said: “Do you allow room in your space for those who disagree with you? Do you ever call coworkers or the person you hear on the radio or see on TV stupid because you disagree with them or because they don’t hold your same opinion about an issue? If so, then you might be too politically correct for your own good, for society’s good.”
He then wrote Americans “have to stop looking for reasons to be offended” and instead give “people leeway to make mistakes in conversations without calling them racist, bigots, stupid, dumb, sell-outs and on and on.”

Maybe so, but he was a main player in the racism arena for a long time.
He was one of the main reasons I couldn’t stomach CNN anymore, so stop praising this race baiter.
