Cuomo replied, \u201cYou know I\u2019m black on the inside,\u201d triggering <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/03\/07\/cnn-host-chris-cuomo-gets-ripped-for-joking-he-is-black-on-the-inside\/\">harsh criticism<\/a>, including from a black magazine managing editor who fired that Cuomo\u2019s comment was \u201cf***ing offensive. Black is not a costume.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo sang, \u201cJust lookin\u2019 out of the window, watchin\u2019 the asphalt grow, thinkin\u2019 how it all looks hand-me down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lemon responded, \u201cHow do you know the words to \u2018Good Times?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know I\u2019m black on the inside,\u201d quipped Cuomo.<\/p>\n<p>Sister2Sister magazine managing editor Aisha Staggers blasted Cuomo on Twitter, writing:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Black is not a costume.
