Just know this.....he's a gay black man who suggested to a Cosby rape survivor that "there were ways" to avoid forced oral copulation if you really didn't want it. "Joan Tarshis, one of the 14 women whom Cosby allegedly raped, joined Lemon on CNN to discuss her traumatic experience. Given what Tarshis says she went through—being drugged and then raped—the interview was bound to be a sensitive one. But given that this was CNN, all bets were off. And neither Tarshis nor CNN viewers could have been prepared for Lemon’s bizarre line of questioning. “You know, there are ways not to perform oral sex if you didn’t want to do it,” suggested Lemon. Tarshis responded that “that didn’t even enter my mind.” Regardless, Lemon pushed on with his line of questioning: “Meaning the use of the teeth, right?” Tarshis began to respond, but the host interjected again: “As a weapon.” After she reiterated that she didn’t think of it, Lemon pressed the issue yet again: “Biting.” Had Lemon not been a gay black man, he would have been fired. He SHOULD have been fired.
Edelweiss was sung by the Von Trapps as a protest against the German Anschluss and nazification of Austria.
Yeeessss.....hence my reference to Rodgers and Hammerstein who wrote the song for the Sound of Music.
