Chris Cuomo, CNN News anchor and brother of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, was criticized on Twitter this weekend after he joked that he's "black on the inside" while talking to journalist and CNN colleague Don Lemon.
The comment came after he was singing the theme song to Good Times, a television show popular in the 1970s about a black family living in Chicago.
Laughing, Lemon asked Chris Cuomo how he knew the words to the song, to which Christ Cuomo responded, "You know, I'm black on the inside."

Chris, the 50-year-old news anchor, and brother to embattled New York governor Andrew Cuomo, was blasted for the comments he made.
While some defended Chris Cuomo’s comment as “a joke”, they immediately became a lightning rod for criticism.
The comment sparked backlash on Twitter after USA Today sports reporter Mike Freeman pointed to the statement alongside a perplexed image of Tom from the cartoon Tom and Jerry on Friday.

Many Twitter users slammed Chris, who once said calling an Italian-American “Fredo” was on par with using the N-word.
“It’s f***ing offensive,” tweeted Sister2Sister managing editor Aisha Staggers. “Black isn’t something you can just say you feel you are inside without having to deal with the racism that comes with being physically Black on the outside.
“This is cultural appropriation.”
Well, when you support crazy policies you can’t make jokes anymore but that’s CNN’s work they did it this to themselves.
Another video that went viral this morning allegedly shows Chris Cuomo painted in black and dressed as a fitness instructor.
The video is titled:
Old footage reveals Chris Cuomo isn’t just black on the inside…
The video was removed from many accounts but still, people keep sharing the video over and over again!

We downloaded the video:
Now many question the validity of this video.
Our team did a little research and it seems that the video is not real.
We couldn’t find any data of Chris Cumo working as a TV fitness instructor and our tech team did find anomalies in the video, so we rate this video as fake.
In any case, the video is hilarious and did serves Chris Cuomo a good portion of karma!
>>Lemon asked Chris Cuomo how he knew the words to the song
Um, it was a popular tv show back in the day?
Did only white racists know the words to the theme on All In The Family?
I even know the words to the Hawaii Five-Oh theme!

Is that really Cuomo? Or some doofus actor?..................
Chris Cuomo IS some doofus actor.
Hannibal and his African army spent quite a bit of time in Italy. It’s quite possible that there is black in his genes.

“Black isn’t something you can just say you feel you are inside without having to deal with the racism that comes with being physically Black on the outside.”
Right. Guess that only applies to gender.
“black on the inside” Nothing racist about trying to ingratiate himself with the people he was talking with. Obviously a rhetorical phrase, to make the people like him.
It is not a joke either. It is a lighthearted way of trying to make people like him.
It is not cultural appropriation.
What has happened is that the insane radical extreme segment of the democrat party has taken to hating cuooomo and is inventing ways in their twisted heads of justifying their hatred.
Frodo is bad enough, but all this hate has been ginned up because the powers behind the democrat party have decreed that frodo must go.
do the lefties who don’t end up aborted get dropped on the delivery room floor?
or maybe a black guy has been in his jeans?
What is she doing with her boobs...
...er...
...wait, let me see that gif again.
The only inside part of him that’s black is his soul.

Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools....
He is black on the inside, but not in the way he meant it.
