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.
Clifford ‘T.I.’ Harris and up & coming rapper Kap-G appeared on CNN last night to discuss issues of racial profiling and their ‘angry rap lyrics’ with host Don Lemon.
It was just about a week ago that Tip and David Banner jumped on the remix of Kap-G’s ‘La Policia’ and in light of all the recent news of police brutality nationwide, it seems their message of rage is being heard loud and clear.

When asked about the angry message in the song, T.I. responds:
I think there is resentment… an undeniable fear that (I believe) law enforcement has for young minorities and it is reflected in their actions.
And of course that leads to angry lyrics because our music, historically has been a reflection of our circumstances.
So if you don’t like our lyrics, you must then change the circumstances that inspire them.

CNN’s Don Lemon brought rapper Slim Thug onto his show recently to discuss the word “thug.”

Lemon piggybacks on the subject of the video to discuss the “thug cycle” and whether or not the term “thug” is racist.
Who better to ask about the word ‘thug’ than the guy who calls himself Slim Thug? The down south rapper revealed his perception of the word, as well as recounting his experiences with racism.
