CNN anchor Don Lemon serenaded the network’s audience on Friday with a rendition of “Lift Every Voice,” known widely as the Black national anthem.
During a taped interview with actor and singer Sheryl Lee Ralph, who will be preforming the song before Sunday’s Super Bowl, Lemon broke out in song.
“I don’t know. I was — I felt like I should do it in the taping. Now, why did I do that?” Lemon told his co-hosts when “CNN This Morning” cut back to the studio.
“Well, you made our day. Our week,” co-anchor Poppy Harlow said.
“Yeah, look, that we sang that every — not every day, but we sang it a lot,” Lemon said. “I went to an all Black Catholic school when I was a kid. I was fortunate enough to be able to go to parochial school, and it was an all Black school because this was right after desegregation in the South. I think it was maybe ten years or so that my high school was desegregated before I went to it. But, so I learned that song … when it started to become the Black national anthem.”

If he feels that he is NOT an American, and that he pledges allegiance to a foreign power, then his citizenship must be revoked and he must move to the African country of his choice, leaving behind all the riches he earned off of the stupid Americans who watched his stupid show.

He makes it sound like he was standing there with Martin Luther King in the 60’s. I was in school ten years after it was desegrated he says. And now he wants to segregate schools again.
Don Lemon is longing for the days of segregation, and many support him

Lemon is 56..... he was in high school in say, 1985. The school was still all black? And apparently the teachers couldn't get the gay out of him.
