This is a little funny and a well-deserved embarrassment for CNN host Don Lemon. {Direct Rumble Link}
The intellectually deficient little nitwit from the fake news has no concept of true historic reference when he began advancing a narrative about the British monarchy paying reparations due to slavery. However, the royal scholar being interviewed, Hilary Fordwich, has a solid understanding of history and used the opportunity to remind Don Lemon exactly which country was the first to end the practice of slavery and how many British patriots died battling against African tribal lords and kings who did not want to end it.
Don Lemon was left a befuddled mess… LOL WATCH:
.
Think we should tell him slavery is still alive in Africa and other countries?
Or who’s been selling people into slavery for centuries?
Information overload, probably.
Americans DID something valiant resulting in an astronomical loss of lives, mostly Caucasian, to preserve this Sovereign Union and end slavery, in the Civil War.
If you can’t accept American history, move on to your Utopian country!
Nitwit is right. And might I add grifter?
IMESHO, is there anyone at cnn with an IQ higher than a single digit??
If their audience has single digit IQ, does it matter?
SLAVERY – still going on in N Africa and Asia – and some forms in western nations and even the USA.
Child and adult sex slavery is not often discussed…but very real and very current.
There are places in Asia, such as Bali, known to be centers of this activity where perverts go to use children in their evil acts.
Even a Catholic Bishop was caught coming back from Bali with a laptop full of child p0rn.

Oh and one of Øbama’s first foreign jaunts after being installed in our highest office – June 2017 – was Bali.
Sexual slavery is apparently rife in this country and the feds cannot be distracted from their persecution of Trump and “white supremists” to halt it, or, maybe they don’t want to halt it. In all the history of mankind it was only white Christian society (not because white but because Christian) that came to the conclusion that ownership of another was morally unacceptable. This same civilization, that the savages are casually destroying as rapidly as possible, is also the one that created scientific method and birthed the industrial revolution that relieved men and women from the economic conditions requiring slavery. I predict with great confidence that absent Christianity and after the de-industrialization of the West per “green” policies, slavery will again be tremendously popular. Race slavery in particular. The foundations are being laid right now for a world neither brave nor new.
There have been cases of FBI and CIA child molesters caught, but often they get light or no jail time..
Remember the coach that molested all the Olympic gymnasts? That was also ignored by the feds.
Excellent commentary. The only suggestion I might make is… economic conditions perpetuating slavery, rather than requiring it, but both words fit.
Millions of whites died in the Civil War for the cause of freeing the slaves 150 yrs ago.
And yet, that too, is forgotten by many with this same agenda.
Should those who lost white North soldiers in their lineage be rewarded?
This argument is sooo stupid.
Lastly, remember Trump saying those countries sending folks to US, “you think they are sending us their best”?
No they were releasing them from prisons.
Every Union soldier’s that was killed or wounded family should get reparations from the US government. Just to be fair.
The US government has no money or the right to hand out my tax dollars to anyone. It’s past time to get that straight.
Already handed out…. to Ukraine.
I know slavery wound up being touted as the reason for the civil war but it did not start out that way. History shows otherwise.
Are you referring to states rights? They only reason the confederates cared so much was so that they could protect their human property. So really that’s a load of Bull. History shows it that way.
Most Southerners at the time did not own slaves. Certainly the soldiers fighting and dying, for the most part, were not fighting over slavery, but for an independent South.
Most Southerners were not for secession. It was entirely pushed by slave owners and those financially connected to slavery. It is correct that the swamp of its day did embark on a campaign to convince the sheeple to enlist for “liberty”. And of course, the definition of “Southerner” is really “white southerner”. If you look at areas of the white south that had the least slave ownership, these areas were the most pro-Union.
I bet you learned that “history ” in college from some left wing socialist professor .
Wrong answer Kerry . The war started over states rights and slavery was not the main cause . More white people picked cotton than black and most southern soldiers owned no slaves at all .
Valid comment. Industry and economics were major contributors to justifying the Civil War.
Agree. The economics of slavery was a major contributor.
My great grandfather’s brother died at Gettysburg during Pickett’s Charge, July 3, 1863.
He was in an Indiana infantry regiment
I had ancestors who fought for the Confederacy as well.
Also, my 6th great grandfather came from Derry Plantation as an indentured servant. Maybe I should get reparations too? /s
People who were never slaves demanding financial recompense from people who never owned slaves is ridiculous.
Two of my ancestors fought in the RW, but fortunately survived otherwise I wouldn’t be submitting this comment.
Had another relative from Ireland. He was kidnapped with some friends , sent to the US on a ship, and ended up as a slave with his friends He and one of his friends managed to escape but unable to help the other friends.
I wouldn’t think of reparations. It’s history
She enjoyed that takedown. I think she was expecting some such nonsense and already knew exactly what she was going to say in response. He, on the other hand, was caught completely flat-footed. That expression on his face was priceless.
Pres. Trump called Don Lemon the “stupidest man on T.V.”. He wasn’t wrong, as usual ….
That is really the only facial expression Don Lemon owns.
While it is amusing to watch really stupid people be surprised by all that they do not know, it is nevertheless not a delight to reflect that our social discourse is really monopolized by the greedy and the imbecile. In a real sense we are living among the ruins of a civilization unknown to the brute savages that occupy its positions of decision. The whole concept of reparations is so idiotic and greed soaked that it is a scandal, or ought to be, that this sort of rubbish is said out loud.
The new CNN is actually worse than the old one.
Don Lemon is a hash mark in America’s undies.
Every leftie narrative can and should be met in this manner.
That was a priceless schooling. It is worth watching again.
The standard “A (very) interesting discussion”, even though the lemon didn’t contribute one bit in said ‘discussion’, is the tv personality’s way of saying – I totally disagree with you.
Well keep in mind that Don is willfully ignorant of facts and reality so though he was schooled with truths his seething leftist acolytes only heard the question. This is how they keep their false (pretend) realities intact.
This is blatantly obvious lefty SOP…. no matter the issue or accusation just throw it out there like a crazed jihadi bombthrower and scurry away – tried and true.
I taught World History for 32 years. Finally, someone said the truth out loud, besides me. I told a young black man this story just days ago at my local gym. He had little idea either though he is a conservative he tells me.
If I remember correctly, William Wilberforce led the movement and died just 3 days after hearing the passage of the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833. I believe the French followed and then the US with, of course, three Constitutional Amendments ending slavery, citizenship and the right to vote by 1868. Taking the US Constitution being ratified in 1788, that means the US ending slavery in 80 years as a country. No where else in the world did that happen and 3 amendments to boot.
Slavery had its roots in Africa. Zero doubt about that. African kings would attack other tribes to retain people to slavery and then sell for any number of things. Eventually it became weapons to protect themselves from other raiding African tribes.
For thousands of years it was African kings involved in the slave trade selling their own people without any colonization from any European nation. The last time I looked, Egypt was part of Africa and we know about the slave labor building the Pyramids going all the way back to 2600 BC or older. So that would be close to 5,000 years of slavery before any slave hit the shores of what would become America.
So by the time the Portuguese got to Africa in and around mid 1400’s is when the Europeans started taking slaves, mainly to North America. It was about gold and commodities and actually making money off the backs of slave labor. Before, it was about survival for African kings. As far as I know, our shores were not settled until 1619 where slaves were thought to already be in what would become Florida and Georgia by the Spanish.
Never ceases to amaze me the complete ignorance of the left and those who do not know history at all.
Believe me, it is not an exaggeration. Most of the left know little of American history. The more rapid left they are the less they seem to know
Must say just peeked at this for a second time.
Never gets old.
I’ve never watched Don Lemon before that clip.
What a mental giant/
How do these people get these jobs?
Wow.
Hey. :e,pmosly, you should only interview folks that are dumber than you. OOPS, then you couldn’t do any interviews.
Authorities are attempting to explain why 100’s of people died in their living room today. Local police say it appears their heads simply exploded leaving a gory mess. Despite the incidents being widespread and mostly in cities, authorities say the only common clue was all of them appeared to be watching CNN.
Once again, Donny rushes into a battle of wits unarmed.
That was hilarious. As an Englishman of course I also realise you have to distinguish between the elites running the country through the British East India company and the common folk. The English themselves have been just as exploited by this cabal as much as anyone, even the Americans. They are the winners, not us and when you look at the farce we have been witnessing here in London over the last few weeks it’s about time everyone woke up to the fact just who it is that is ruining the West and the nefarious motives for doing so.
Grifters got to grift
I love how he thinks he did a ‘gotcha’, realizes he’s quite mistaken, then jumps directly into the next narrative engineering topic of food chain disruption with equal passion, like him being schooled never happened … a true professional!
professional *what* is the question …
She was brilliant how she said it.
Although I have not said it as nicely as this woman I have said for years that there should reparations paid to descendants of the 400,00 to 500,000 dead white union soldiers who died in the civil war to free the slaves.
Experts have said there were 900,000 deaths in that war with a majority of them on the North.
If this view gains support watch how that number starts to evaporate. They will have it down to 200,000 pretty soon.
Political correct historians claim the Egyptians were black. If so they enslaved the Jews that Mosses led out of bondage. Should their be reparations for that?
Watching his face as she gave him a history lesson was just priceless…..and his even asking the question ( so smugly, I might add) disproved his statement that being moved to morning was NT a demotion…….
Don Lemond now realizes the fake glasses don’t stop him being stupid. -QUAKER Brits started the abolish slavery movement so long ago,- it is impossible for LEMOND to comprehend.. he’s a sad little priviliged boy.
If Lemon had any more hair, it would be scorched by the truth bomb this woman threw at him. Watch his eyes — the rate of blinking increases as his brain attempts to process the truth of what really happened with slavery. Brilliant commentarys by the British guest he was hoping to trap.
Ok, I’ve read thru 2 (of 3) pages of comments…am I the only one who thinks SEE-N-N and specifically, Mr. Lemon is controlled by white (no pun intended) hats now? Getting ahead of the racial divide narrative that the DS so desperately, and obviously wants and needs to begin the civil war they want so much?
By far a great checkmate. I’m amazed people still harp on slavery this many years later. Blacks in Baltimore, cocoons l Chicago, New Orleans, NYC, etc aren’t committing crimes because of slavery.
That is TOO funny. Not the sharpest tool in the shed is he?
Don Lemon is not much different than Jean Karine Pierre. If he grew his hair out a bit they could be twins.
I had an elderly client tell me yesterday that she watches CNN for news (probably all day) but she is a right-to-life advocate and quite conservative. She says she cannot watch FoxNews in primetime because of the constant “Alerts” and sensationalism.
I suggested that she watch Fox and CNN alternatively during the weekdays, then, not agreeing with any channel, but making her own mind solid in where the truth lives between. She thought that was a good idea.
Here, Don Lemon got slapped by an unexpected truthteller that disrupted the narrative. But, also, Hannity and Laura are turning people off, probably because of their constant sensationalism. Might all be true from Fox, but let’s face it FOX and CNN are in a drag race for stimulating the dull masses.
I hope my friend/client saw Don Lemon’s face plant.
But England brought it to the US. It is not the US that should pay reparations nor continue to be shamed for an economic practice that was introduced by England and continued by them via their proxy-the colonized US. This is why they were able to end the practice in their country – because England was able to continue this economic practice in all of its colonies. So the British govt can state they ended it in their homeland, while virtually continuing it behind the scenes. Much like they continue to do today with an array of issues.
