Don Lemon Wants to Know If This Offends You

On Monday, Don Lemon posed a question to the CNN audience. Is showing the Confederate Flag or using the word “nigger” in news stories about those topics offensive? These were in reference to the outcry about the Confederate flag and Obama’s use of the offending word during a recent interview.

The answer? Uh, well, I don’t know because instead of participating in a discussion, people took this as the perfect opportunity to turn Don Lemon’s ratings stunt into a meme. As they should have. Dude is ridiculous.

Yes, it does. #DonLemon #CNN #ConfederateFlag pic.twitter.com/S9rrv13Hdj
