Don Lemon Makes The N-Word Even More Controversial

CNN Tonight host and bad idea factory Don Lemon may have finally reached peak Lemon on Monday, holding up a sign reading “NIGGER” and asking his audience, 'Does this offend you?' Moments before that, Lemon asked the same question while holding up the Confederate flag, helpfully adding, “It’s the Confederate flag!” Apparently intended to stimulate (internal?) debate about two of today’s top news stories. Was this a good idea?

Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks.

"President Obama saying the n-word on Marc Maron‘s radio show set off basically everyone on the news biz, with lots of arguments over 1) the appropriateness of using the n-word, and 2) the appropriateness of the president using the n-word. Piers Morgan used the opportunity to bring up his piece from last year on why society needs to eradicate the n-word entirely and how black Americans should stop using it to discourage its use.” * Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks.
