MSNBC’s Touré likes to stir things up on Twitter. He did it again over the weekend calling out “white leaders” Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and African-American CNN host Don Lemon.
His first tweet wondered why these white media leaders weren’t speaking up about white-on-white violence, lumping in Lemon with Limbaugh and O’Reilly.
Why aren’t white leaders like Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh and Don Lemon doing anything to combat white on white violence??? #SOS

“The Cycle” co-host continued on the topic for another 10 tweets and responses while clarifying:
Sorry for the confusion folks. “White leaders” was meant to connote “leaders of white people” not “leaders who are white.”

Over the summer, Lemon got in on an Al Sharpton/Bill O’Reilly race back and forth, siding with O’Reilly, saying black youth make the decision to reject education and cave in to street culture and gangs.
Lemon hasn’t, and most likely won’t, respond to the tweets.
Touré has used Twitter to go after CNN’s Piers Morgan, and, more recently Donald Trump.
