CNN Slammed as ‘Full Blown Racist’ After Commentators Call Kanye West ‘Token Negro’
[BREITBART] CNN is being accused of racism after commentators Bakari Sellers and Tara Setmayer bashed rapper Kanye West over his support for Trump on CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, going so far as to call him a "token negro."

"Kanye West is what happens when negroes don’t read," CNN commentator Bakari Sellers said, in reference to an old Chris Rock bit.

CNN’s Tara Setmayer went even further, calling Kanye West a "an attention whore like the president."

"He’s all of a sudden now the model spokesperson‐he’s the token Negro of the Trump Administration?" she also said.

Don Lemon laughed and giggled throughout the segment as the two commentators degraded Kanye West.

#1 The local talk *Sports* radio show started riffing about how "Kanye West had gone down hill since..." in the middle of the sports talk show...no less. I changed stations.

#6 Their rules don't apply to themselves and they react with genuine confusion when you suggest that they do.

#7 I keep telling ya'all, its Freudian Projection from the Left. Racism, sexism, et al are deep and rife in them. They think because it surrounds them, everyone else is just like them.

Worse than that. Since they, the Left, are the Good Guys™ and the Right, "Nazis one and all" obviously, are the Bad Guys™ ... then whatever the Right must be infinitely worse than what they see in their own ranks.
