Apparently I need to watch Don Lemon more.

This does tie in with a question about criticism that you asked elsewhere. I always wonder when I see you on CNN or NPR, why that’s the case. It’s not just being white because we don’t see Noam or Michael Albert or so on there. I’d have to guess that it’s because media elites are welcoming of SOME racial discussion (not DOING anything about it, but having it be there).
