CNN host Don Lemon spoke out on Wednesday to recommend that white people read his new book “This Is the Fire: What I Say to My Friends About Racism” so that they can learn about “accountability and grace” after Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of the murder of George Floyd the day before.
Lemon said this while he responded to Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis having an image saying “I CAN BREATHE 4-20-21” tweeted out from the team’s official account. The tweet was in reference to Chauvin’s guilty verdict, and though it received some backlash online for being offensive, Lemon said it did not offend him.
“I think we need to give each other a little room to breathe and to be able to have these conversations. And so, if you have an issue with the owner saying that, take it up with the owner. Let the owner talk about it. Help him to understand that it may be offensive to some people,” Lemon said, defending Davis. “But I don’t want to castigate someone for at least trying to do the right thing, even if it may be done in ignorance. I don’t think it was harmful in any way.”
Lemon was then asked by his fellow host John Berman if he “can recommend to white people if they’re looking for ways” to talk about sensitive topics like the death of Floyd.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
