“White leaders” like Don Lemon?
What in the world is MSNBC’s Touré talking about?
@Toure you ain't right.

After some blowback, Touré offered a “clarification” that wasn’t really a clarification:

Oh, that helps, except not really.
Katie Pavlich took Touré to task:
So because Don Lemon believes in standards like young black men pulling their pants up he's now a "white leader"? OKAY @Toure

So black Don Lemon telling young black men to pull their pants up is all about making whites feel better? OKAY @Toure

This is classic Touré:

We can judge who has been “failed by society” based on pants level? If anybody except Touré said that he might accuse them of profiling. However, you don’t have to remotely make sense to be on MSNBC.
