Football legend-turned-activist Herschel Walker is calling for CNN to fire Don Lemon after the “CNN Tonight” host laughed when rapper Kanye West was referred to as “the token negro of the Trump administration" during a segment that aired Tuesday night.

The segment -- which has been slammed as "racist" -- began with Lemon asking if President Donald Trump is simply “using Kanye as a prop to win over black voters before the midterms.”

CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers responded with a jab at West.

“Anti-intellectualism simply isn’t cool,” Sellers said. “Kanye West is what happens when Negros don’t read.”

Sellers’ remark prompted laughter from Lemon and fellow panelist Tara Setmayer, who followed up by saying West is “the token negro of the Trump administration.”

Walker, who has openly supported Trump, is also an outspoken advocate for mental health issues – which were also mocked during the segment. Walker took to Twitter to express his disbelief.

“Went to bed appalled over Don Lemon's despicable behavior laughing at Tara Setmayer and Bakari Sellers' awful remarks about Kanye West’s visit with [Trump]! Woke up wondering why CNN doesn’t take all three off the air?” Walker tweeted, adding the hashtag "#Shameful."

How can a black person be racist against another black person?.That makes no sense.Is there even such a thing as same race racism?.Guilty of distasteful humor maybe but not racism.

reply

Don still owes him an apology.

reply

For what?

If you read the article or watch the clip it reveals it wasn't Lemon responsible for saying whatever remarks Walker considered was offensive.

Who does he owe an apology to? And Fox News just bought it without even stopping to consider whether the accusation blaming Lemon for things he was not responsible for saying was even credible.

Of course the Fox News article also leaves out that they noted they were repeating a Chris Rock bit, which is why they were all laughing.

reply

Chris Rock said it, so it's not racism? Pathetic!

reply

Lemon didn't say it is what I said. Learn to read.

reply

Of course it's racism. What is wrong with your brain?

White libtards do the same thing, just look at who's talking about "white male privilege".

reply

A clown on CNN calling anyone "anti-intellectual" is irony at its finest.

reply

He called Kanye a negro.

reply

He didn't. Sellers and Setmayer did in tribute to a Chris Rock bit. Why are you blaming Lemon?

reply

Oops then. Bygones!
