CNN Slammed as Racist After Commentators Call Kanye West 'Token Negro'
CNN is being accused of racism after commentators Bakari Sellers and Tara Setmayer bashed rapper Kanye West over his support for Trump on CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, going so far as to call him a "token negro."
"Kanye West is what happens when negroes don't read," CNN commentator Bakari Sellers said, in reference to an old Chris Rock bit.

Don Lemon laughed and giggled throughout the segment as the two commentators degraded Kanye West.
Turning Point USA Communications Director Candace Owens accused the network of racism over this language in a tweet sent Wednesday: "Last night on CNN, Kanye West was called a 'token negro' and a 'dumb negro'. I want you guys to imagine if those words were EVER uttered on FoxNews. CNN has finally committed to going full blown RACIST. They want their slaves back," Owens wrote.
