CNN’s Don Lemon jumped on the Duchess of Sussex’s claim that while she was pregnant with her son Archie, there were “concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born,” adding that the details were relayed by her husband Prince Harry, but didn’t name the source since it would be “very damaging.”
The Duchess, known to most people as former actress Meghan Markle, made the bombshell accusation during an interview along with her husband by Oprah Winfrey on Sunday night.
Winfrey clarified on CBS This Morning on Monday that Prince Harry had made clear to her that neither his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, nor his grandfather, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, were the source of the skin color remarks.
Lemon took Markle’s statement as a cue to continue his charge that racism is rampant.
“Listen, we shouldn’t be surprised that you have a black woman from America who in their eyes is a commoner and then you have this white, redhead British royal, people wanted to know what the baby was going to look like,” Lemon said Monday on CNN. “But what matters is your reaction. If you say, ‘Oh, this baby is going to be a beautiful brown baby with red hair, I can’t wait to see it,’ then that’s a different reaction from, ‘Oh my dear, what color is his skin? Is he going to be too dark?'”
“When people say, ‘Oh, well we haven’t heard from the other side,’ what’s the other side going to say?” Lemon continued. “They’re going to say, ‘Of course we’re not racist,’ or whatever, but what did they do? Think about their actions. They did not stand up for their own because their own is married to a black woman, had a black child. They didn’t listen to him inside of the Royal Family. They let him go, they let him leave the country. They wouldn’t come to terms with what they [Harry and Meghan] wanted to do.”
“So listen, we have only heard from one side, but that one side at this point rings very true.”
Last summer, Lemon compared U.S. citizens to flowers planted in tainted soil.
“It depends on the nutrients in the soil. So if you grew up in America, you came out of American soil. Considering the history of this country how can you not be racist? How can you not have racial blindspots, how can you not see that the factory reset in America is whiteness?”
“The factory reset in America is two cars, the American dream, which was built on what? On whiteness. And so, once you think about it like that, if you are any other ethnicity, the factory reset is not you; which means the norm is set to your standard and [white] people who look like you, which means it favors you Everything favors you.”

As far as anyone on the useless lying CNN network is concerned … if a flower blooms in the spring… it’s racism… every single thing anywhere in the universe is racism… it’s all racism … all of it. racism Racism RACISM!!! Now send us more money to stop it… if you don’t you’re a racist!!! It’s sick and it’s wrong!!
More and more, i wonder, WHAT IDIOTS STILL watch CNN?
don lemon is a massive racist godless fool.
I don’t know about the racist part, but you are definitely 100% correct about the “Godless Fool” part !
And those are his good points.
That was funny…
Can everyone please stop pretending that Meghan Markle is black?? She isn’t black. LOOK AT HER.
Their son Archie is mayo-white as well.
When you are 1/2 African American, the Black community considers you Black. This is just like Barack Obama, who is also 1/2 Black. It has nothing to do with the darkness of your skin or the fact that you don’t LOOK African American.
Obama is not 1/2 black, he is about 9% black. That is if the woman who claimed to be his mother actually is, and there is no proof of that. The only country he is actually a citizen of is Indonesia. You may call me FOS only if you can supply actual, verifiable proof otherwise. I am absolutely positive, you can’t.
Besides, her mother is black and her father is white and you get your blood from your father. She is white. Duh, but she is playing the racist card because it gets her more attention. Get real.
ANd iirc wasn’t she born in africa? SO she certainly has more of a right to call herself african american than 99.999% of those who call themselves that, do!
The racist is Lemon.
Hey Don Lemon, you are married to a “white guy”, so the “white guy” you married is obviously a “white supremacist isn’t he, since all of us whites are “white supremacists”? The other thing Don, you are a “drama queen” just like Prince Harry and Meghan. Also, none of Princess Anne’s two children, were given titles of Prince and Princess, because that is the way the British Monarchy works. So Meghan and Harry, your child would never have been a Prince, so you two drama queens made up, that your son was “excluded” from being a Prince. Great softball interview Oprah. A ten year old could have done that softball interview. Oh, and like Tucker said, all of the elitists like Michelle Obama, Harry, Meghan, Hilary etc. all play the “we are the victims card”.
Insofar as Lemon’s reference to racism (as is his consistent rant) we should understand Lemon’s problem is not racism but instead a well deserved inferiority complex. It has been reported before but the notion that Don Lemon is the dumbest man in television news is as valid as ever. This guy is a complete incompetent, and when he gets together with his buddy Fredo to chat about their inane thoughts it lowers the average IQ of the entire news people of television networks. And when one considers the “other” newspeople are folks like Joe and Mica, Jake the Tapper and celery head Rachel Madcow, we are talking some serious single digit IQ numbers.
The racist here is Don Lemon. His bias spewing only goes to further prejudice and hatred in this country. As part of the cancel culture, he is anti American, anti Constitution, and pro bias. What needs to be cancelled here is CNN and their Communist minions.
And then u have to jump over to the people elected to Congress. Somebody out there voted for AOC and Ilhan Omar, it couldn’t have just been the votes of Lemon and Joe Scarredbrain.
An omeba could jump over them, IQ wise.
I loved your comment ! LOL.
Meaning that they couldn’t graduate from ‘stupid school” because they are “under qualified”……..
SO are their so-called TEACHERS..
IF he is that dumb, WHY WAS HE hired?
So, a nice house, two cars, healthy kids and a steady job are too tainted by western culture to be of any value to a Black person born and raised here? But they are the reason millions of illegals are risking their lives to get here.
Sissy boy don lemon is the racist! He lies constantly and works for a company that employs all liars and traitors! He is lucky to live in a free country. Lemon, harry and markle should get out! Go to canada or england and shut up!
I am lost on this story, who is Don Lemon and what is cnn?
Lemon is as stupid as a stick. Lemon head is a black-supremacist and a born-again racist hate monger. Whose only claim to fame his big mouth and is stirring up trouble. Kind of like Obama, he’s a community trouble maker and agitator.
So that means if idiot Lemon was born here and is a flower then that makes him automatically a racist. In regards to the The Duchess -GROW UP. You have NO IDEA how the real world works. These prima donnas that live in castles and live off other peoples money through inheritances are clueless. If you supposedly want to live quietly then shut up and stay off tv. Lemon doesn’t deserve to be on tv because idiots shouldn’t have a platform
lemon= racist, queer and moronic. nuff said
I am sure Don Lemon’s parents were also concerned about his birth. “Will he be born an idiot?” Unfortunately he was and still is!
Without using the race card, these people would have nothing to make people listen to them. I just watched a TV show, FBI, and on there they decided to point out and demonize white people and toss around the race card, thus becoming racist themselves. Stop trying to use Race to push an agenda, stop constantly dividing by using race. It just seems to me it is now a tool to “get more” of attention, or money, or their way. Pushing this is going to get innocent people harmed and will create a division so deep it will be hard to close. I find those who use race as a shield to either get attention or get their way just low. The Left says fair and equal, and unity. OK, drop affirmative action, drop giving a pass to those who didn’t earn it and ignoring those who did. Blind hire or admit with no gender or color listed. Just grades or abilities. If we do that, those who get a pass by hiding behind a CARD, will realize they need to be responsible for themselves. If you want it bad enough, then work/earn it. As to Meghan, shame on her and shame on Harry. That whole issue, real or perceived should have been handled in private.
Telling the left to “STOP using race”, is like telling cockroaches, to please stop pestering folks in their homes.. IT JUST WON’T happen.
Hey, there’s no drama in keeping your personal business private – can’t make a buck that way. You witnessed the Elitist version of the Jerry Springer show, millionaires whining to a billionaire about how tough and unfair Life can be. Don’t you peasants wish that you could be unhappy in a $15 million mansion in Montecito, CA, the wealthiest Zip Code there is (I have heard).
She is more black than Harry is royal. I don’t know how much black her mother is, but from her visual appearance, she is very little actual black. Harry, on the other hand, is zero royal. Same mother but definitely not the same father. They need to be stripped of any titles, although should that be the case, duchess of so-ho would seem to be appropriate. In the long run, this will be good for the Royal Family. Harry does not belong, and it allowes them to divorce him by his choice. Good riddance to rubbish.
It is all garbage, just good all gossip by malicious old busybodies. CNN is almost as good as The National Enquirer or The Globe publications once were.
