Don Lemon, CNN night anchor at 10 PM, gives an
interview to Time Magazine (March 29, p. 104), Jannell Ross, about his new book
from Little Brown, 224 pages, “This Is the Fire: What I Say to My Friends About
Racism”, link.
An interesting part of the interview is how Lemon
distinguishes “point of view” from “opinion”.
Indeed, in my own life, a succession of episodes, one leading to the
next and always with irony, establishes a “point of view”, where I am unwilling
to go along with a superficial idea of group-centered tribal justice.
The interviewer challenges Lemon on his earlier
comments five years ago to black youths, “pull up your pants”. He says there is no real contradiction among
his statements of position.
There is mention in the online (not print) review of
the Online German Coast Slave Uprising on the Mississippu River in 1811.
