Don Lemon is taking aim at Stephen A. Smith, accusing the ESPN personality of being too accommodating toward White media and turning his criticism on Black people.
During a recent episode of The Don Lemon Show, Lemon spoke candidly alongside guests Reecie Colbert and Clay Cane.
“Stephen A. Smith has just been a disappointment,” Lemon said. “I try not to criticize, especially Black men or Black people in general, but Stephen A. Smith goes off and talks about stuff that he has no idea about.”
Lemon went on to claim that Smith frequently appears on platforms hosted by White conservatives and directs his commentary toward Black communities without sufficient context.
“He has no facts,” Lemon said. “He goes on these right wing podcasts or on his own show and goes off about Black people and things for which he has no clue.”
He continued, “If I became a Black conservative, I would be rich,” Lemon said. “It seems like that’s become his stock in trade to make excuses for White people and cozy up to people like Megyn Kelly.”
Lemon concluded. “He’s one of those Black people that White people think Black people like,” he said. “Stephen A. Smith does not represent us.”
