CNN Anchor Lectures Guest That He Has Racial Blind Spot Because of White 'Privilege' (CNN)

Lemon -- who has played the race card by twice comparing traditional marriage supporters to segregationists -- told Ferguson that since he's white, he has a "place of privilege" that minorities don't have and therefore can't fully understand the plight of black people in America.
