    Dr Alveda King, niece of of the famous civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., recently appeared on FoxNews where she praised Trump’s plan to restore education, jobs and God to the Black community.

    It was only a week ago that a fictitious story about mega-church pastor Creflo Dollar endorsing Donald Trump went viral.

    CNN

    NEWSFLASH!! Atlanta based CNN (Cable News Network) routinely passes over black employees and denies them on-the-job training… at least according to producer Ricky Blalock.

    Blalock makes his claims against the Time-Warner owned network in a $500,000 racial-discrimination lawsuit filed last week and his action marks the second such legal action against CNN in just over a year.

    WATCH THIS! Don Lemon Heckled By ‘Angry Black Woman’ on Live TV… [VIDEO]

    Don Lemon Heckler CNN

    CNN anchor Don Lemon was the target of an angry heckler yesterday as he was covering the church shootings in Charleston, South Carolina.

    [READ: MUGSHOT MANIA: Dylann Storm Roof aka The ‘Charleston Shooting’ THUG…]

    During a live CNN segment, an angry Black woman heckled Lemon and co-host John Berman, calling both Lemon and President Barack Obama “Uncle Toms” and referring to the POTUS as a ‘puppet’.

    “Are you angry Don? Are you angry? We’re mad, we’re angry — tell the truth!” says the woman, who walked up behind the newscasters.

    “White people are terrorists!”

    Lemon tried to diffuse the situation when he was introduced, saying the hosts were also joined by “a friend,” but then he eventually decided to just ignore the woman’s taunts.

    “Terrorists! The president’s a puppet!” the woman continued. “Stop the lies, stop the lies. He’s an Uncle Tom too. President Obama’s an Uncle Tom too.”

    “Black folks, get off your knees and start praying… STOP praying.” she said.

    RECAP: CNN Dialogues w/Don Lemon: “Living in the Age of Social Media” [PHOTOS]

    Oct, 19 2011 | Written by ATLien


    Last week I had the pleasure of attending a CNN Dialogues event held at The Ray Charles Performing Arts Center of Morehouse College in Atlanta (October 12, 2011).

    CNN, the James Weldon Johnson Institute for the Study of Race and Difference of Emory University, and the National Center For Civil and Human Rights, partnered for the second version of the series designed to provoke thought and dialogue on various subjects.

    The topic of the evening? “Living in the Age of Social Media – the Good, the Bad, and the Surprising.”

    Since I consider myself somewhat of a “social media strategist,” it piqued my interest to hear what others felt on a subject that I hold so near and dear to my heart.

    CNN anchor Don Lemon facilitated a dynamic discussion on the subject of social media between the following four social media-savvy panelists:

    Maggie Jackson, journalist and author of Distracted: The Erosion of Attention & the Coming Dark Age (2008)
    Shaun King a self-described ‘techie-humanitarian’ who is founder of Courageous Church, as well as the founder of the social media humanitarian aid site, TwitChange
    Baratunde Thurston, comedian, co-founder of Jack & Jill Politics (a blog targeting politically-minded African-Americans), and director of digital for The Onion (a multi-media platform for satirical news and information)
    Pete Wentz, musician and lyricist for the rock band, Fall Out Boy, record label manager, and co-founder of the group Black Cards.

    If you follow me on Twitter, you may have noticed my live blog from the event, but if you missed all that, check out a recap of CNN Dialogues: “Living in the Age of Social Media”… Continue Reading…
