The 50-year-old host’s controversial words followed his singing of the words to ’70s sitcom Good Times – a show featuring an African American family.
Cuomo’s rendition of the song prompted Lemon to laughed asked: “How do you know all the words to Good Times?”
The CNN host then responded with the highly criticized phrase: “You know I’m black on the inside.”
Others slammed into Cuomo over the remark.
Journalist Aisha Staggers wrote: “Black is not a costume, I don’t get to be white when I don’t feel like not dealing with racism or racist police or just regular bulls**t black people deal with.
“I can’t even hide at home because I can be killed there in my bed, so understand, there was nothing silly about this.”
