Since 2006, the 49-year-old Louisiana native has been just one of a few black CNN news anchors to appear on television. Unfortunately, Lemon's presentation of the news is often overshadowed by his frequent verbal flubs.

His latest gaffe? Complimenting comedian Kathy Griffin for having a "nice rack" during a live national broadcast on New Year's Eve. Did Lemon have one drink too many before ringing in 2016, or was he just "Don-Lemoning"—that is, popping off at the mouth—as history proves he tends to do?

The CNN Tonight host is no stranger to making controversial comments. The black community, sexual assault victims, and even children have all been subjected to Lemon's questionable questions. That might be why the Columbia Journalism Review named Lemon among 2014's worst in journalism.

Requesting more proof after watching the Spring Valley video
Lemon ended 2015 on a sour note after he suggested that more information was necessary before passing judgment on South Carolina Deputy Ben Fields, the student resources officer who dragged a black female student from her desk in October.

After video of the incident went viral, Fields was fired, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Justice Department opened a civil-rights investigation into the case.

Following his controversial remarks, Black Twitter was convinced that Lemon was trolling everyone:

Can we send Raven & Don Lemon to a secluded island where the only thing they can use for survival is their internalized racism?

Members of the black community are tired of Lemon—so tired, in fact, that a petition to remove him from CNN received nearly 40,000 supporters. "Lemon has consistently antagonized and defamed the characteristics of African-Americans on the national scale in his mass communications," the petition says.

Saying blacks shouldn’t wear baggy pants, use the n-word, or litter


U.S President Barack Obama cited the shooting death of unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin as a reason for why the country should reexamine state laws, specifically, the "Stand Your Ground" law. In response, Fox host Bill O'Reilly suggested that the problems confronting the black community were mainly due to the disintegration of the black family, rather than institutional racism.

But even more alarming than O'Reilly's flawed logic was Lemon's public agreement with him. In fact, the CNN anchor said O'Reilly "doesn't go far enough," and added that black men should also stop wearing baggy pants, using the n-word, dropping out of school, having children out of wedlock, and littering.

CNN will never fire Lemon. He fills two quotas.

Wait... "quota" is Latin for "anus", right? ;)

Actually, most of these I have no problem with.
These are far from the worst things he's done.
