Kevin Hart Tussles With CNN’s Don Lemon Over ‘Redskins’ Controversy: ‘Don’t Compare It to the N-Word’ (Audio)

The “Think Like a Man Too” star debates with the CNN anchor over the offensiveness of “Redskins”

CNN’s Don Lemon and Kevin Hart, had a spirited back-and-forth on Thursday’s “Tom Joyner Morning Show,” over the Washington Redskins name controversy.

“Well, I ain’t never call no one no Redskin. I’ve never been mad like, ‘get out of this restaurant, you Redskin.’” Hart, who’s starring in new release “Think Like a Man Too,” said.

“We’ve been called the n-word,” Joyner said.” Who has ever been called a Redskin other than the team? Is it fair to compare being called the N-word?”

“I’m not comparing the N-word,” Lemon said.

They two debated semantics over the terms of their debate, then got into the heavy stuff.
