British royals expert Hilary Fordwich stunned CNN anchor Don Lemon into silence with her argument that African slave owners owe "reparations" rather than the British Empire, in a viral clip from CNN’s coverage of the death of the queen. Conservatives on Twitter found the clip hilarious, as it depicted Lemon getting swift pushback for trying to promote the narrative that the British crown owes reparations for slavery.
Observers noted Lemon meekly switching topics without protest after Fordwich’s unexpected response
Television set, $300. Cable bill, $90. Watching Don Lemon get schooled... priceless.

That left a mark. The Brits are pros at politely slamming someone who dares arguing with them without the hapless object ever realizing it.

The dimokkkrap party is responsible and should pay reparations and be disbanded.
They represented the slave interests. They started the Civil War to preserve slavery killing some 600,000 people. They institutionalized racism through their jim crowe laws. They founded the kkk to terrorize anyone who didn’t bow to their rules.

He's a racist and stupid. Facts are beyond his interest, so he just ignores facts. Studying history is HARD....so he never did.

Fordvich knows how to talk on TV to mediocre mind s: "Yes, you're right, and here are some history that shows everyone how your argument is 100% off base!"

The lady is right, and if people want to end slavery they need to work on understanding the true history of what really happened, not stuff made up to make them feel good. Irish myself, I am unenthusiastic to relate the true fact that the occupying British stopped the Irish from enslaving each other. The British did other bad things but on the slavery story there is not a better group. Viva! (oh I would rather not say that but it is just)

Donna Lemon proving once again what an absolution idiot he is. My guess, and it’s just a guess, is that in his mind black people can’t ever own or have owned black people… because… racists do that.

She’s 100% correct and this truth bomb should have been brought out to the black victim movement a long time ago.

Fordwich had an education, Lemon limed his way through Haaavaaad, never learned a single thing. Got his degree because of skin color. He demonstrated it on national TV. Others get thrown off their jobs for sexual attacks, not when you are black.
Wrote something similar to the NAACP once. I reminded them that the greed for the bead did the deed. Did not get a Christmas card from them. The country that the community punk heralds from is involved in slavery to this day and they have lots of buyers! Odd thing is that the black loudmouths who have to shout the most never, ever bring it up. I guess it will take a white person to start putting a stop to it. I am sure it was the punk who called the bidet to tell him to get the new Martha's Vinyard people out of his 'hood! His property price might go down.

Tell Don to read Our of America by Keith Richburg a black American. It will really open his eyes that are blinded by his Socialist ideology.

Actually, since the Arabs of that time were the biggest human traffickers of slaves, they should be the ones paying the billions of dollars in reparations.

Wow, that was interesting retort and quick on her feat too.
Don Lemon should also research more about what happened after the end of the Civil War, how Reconstruction helped level the playing field for most former slaves. Many flourished and prospered, which upset the former Rebel soldiers who now had to look at someone who now had the same freedom and Rights as they did. It's how the KKK came about, they were mostly former soldiers who fought to maintain slavery.
Importing slaves was illegal early on too -- The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves of 1807 is a United States federal law that provided that no new slaves were permitted to be imported into the United States. It took effect on January 1, 1808, the earliest date permitted by the United States Constitution
Then, he should read about how the Democrats decided they'd prefer to have more control over things in the South so they agreed to 1877 Compromise which settled the disputed 1876 Presidential election.

Don Lemon participated in the TV Show "Finding Your Roots." Excellent programme. He was pleased as punch to learn that he was 1/3 European. Will he pay 1/3 of reparations?

More white people were enslaved than black people over time. Europeans were enslaving each other for thousands of years before blacks were sold by other blacks and then carried to the United States. The word slave came from the word Slav, a white European race. Reparations are a non starter because of these simple truths.

And tomorrow, he will continue to preach about reparations. He just will never invite her on the show again. (I almost said "his" show, but CNN took his show away from him).

One of the comments at the end of the article was that 1.4% of the whites owned slaves at the peak of the slavery era, so demanding reparations from all whites is a very racists argument.

Talk about a beech-slap! Don Juan LEM-on looked like he sat on a wet chair.
She didn't want his head to explode so she left out the fact that these black African tribe leaders --- who fancied themselves kings --- were almost all Muslims! They had the backing of the Koran on selling their non-believing neighbors into slavery.
Then I love how she turns the tables and says the families of the thousands of Brits who died intersecting slave ships should get some reparations too! He looked like he was about to cry. ha,ha

Which is why Don "the fruit" Lemon lost his prime time slot and was placed into the morning "don't have time to watch TV" slot. Basic trial lawyer rule, "Never ask the witness a question, unless you know the answer they'll give,"
No one regrets black slavery ever having happened in this country worse than American whites, Don. You might also want to consider adding the "religion of Islam" to your list of shakedown victims, Don, as they were the ones who gathered them up and brought them to the Barbary Coast to be sold. Such ignorance of basic history.

I guess Lemmonhead thought by asking the question, the speaker would get defensive and start stammering like Biteme. Instead, he got schooled and made to look like the idiot he is.

Everyone is commenting on the reality of what Ms. Fordwich said, overwhelming Lemon's misperceptions. However wrong Lemon was, the really, really stupid aspect of this article, and which will not endear Lemon to his superiors, was that he brought up this issue with a woman who voluntarily agreed to be a guest at the height of worldwide mourning over a much-loved Queen of the Realm, who never had a thing to do with slavery. Lemon proved he is completely tone-deaf. His question was an embarrassment to his employer, who could have fired him outright, as they did Mr. Potatohead, Brian Stelter. Instead, CNN demoted him to a position where he could do less damage, simply because he is African American. He repaid CNN's forbearance by embarrassing the network in front of millions of mourners. He's a fool.

What’s the point of black history month just about every month, if people like don don’t learn anything. Wouldn’t you think he’d have done his homework before asking a Brit such an offensive question on the occasion of the Queen’s funeral. Can he be demoted any lower?

It is about time someone explained the source of all the black saves. They were the losers in intertribal warfare in Africa that were sold to Europeans for the money. Some Arabs were also involved in this trade. In fact, there are places in Africa, including North Africa were people are still being enslaved. To add insult to injury, some of the ancestors of the people in Africa who captured and sold fellow blacks as slaves are trying get in on the reparations grave train.
