Backlash? internet attacks? Always start from what you do know. Universally, that is "i don't know everything", because of this "i'm bound to make mistakes" and so "could i be a bit more humble in my approach to things i know little about". Problem is a lot of people and particularly privileged people, don't seem to know that reflection lets you know how much you really know about any given topic or culture. If people tell you you've wronged them, you shouldn't be above questioning yourself or asking others why they think so. Jimmy did this but most celebrities don't. Probably because he has a good amount of humility in his personality and he seems like a good parent (that takes egolessness (if that's even a word)).
@ThxGod It'sOver Pay attention to who got bashed in the head with a rock and skateboard and kicked in the face afterwards and who did it. VIDEO ALL OVER THE INTERNET!

His apology was spot on. No excuses of..oh it was a different time or try to spread blame. He said ‘I did it and it was wrong and I did wrong to a good friend’
Eamon O'Connell that’s ignorance and dismissive to the core values of the black lives matter movement. Black lives matter doesn’t mean only their lives matter, but rather stating the facts that black lives are being taken from them due to racism in bright daylight. I am sure you don’t lack intellect so just listen and understand. Too many black lives are being taken by police brutality, not Asians, not Mexicans, or whites. The facts are the facts that’s why BLM was created and people from different races work there to simply help end racial injustice. Education is key.
Thank you both, the news can terrify me for the future of my grandkids, but your conversations on both of your shows, consistently make me feel calmer and more hopeful, you are among the helpers I look to.
I never liked Jimmy because he always seems so unauthentic. But his reaction to all of this is definitely the most sincere, while some other late night hosts seem like they're acting a part. Bravo, Jimmy!
I'm Puerto Rican and all I have are black friends, so what happened to George hits me hard.. and what's even more crazier George could have been somebody to any of us. He could have been my uncle, your brother, your husband he could have been someone important to any of us. I'll never be black I get that but one thing I do know is blood runs through all of our veins. this isn't right. 🤦🏻♂️
You're love and support for the black community is more than enough to make us all grow closer together. We just need to take more actions and create major changes.
@Victor Jones me too alot of hate towards me. even threatening my children. So I dropped my address on those fake ass taunting cyber bullies. It's just an exhausting argument. People that won't even show up. Just fanning flames behind the scenes
I'm pretty sure in his previous at-home episodes he didn't have makeup, and I think he's probably wearing some today to cover the signs of a bunch of sleepless nights or crying. Which makes sense, I don't blame him (for either the crying or for doing his best to look presentable).
Big Nasty you’re such a bitch. If you knew Jimmy like his fans do, you would know that he’s been getting so much hate and harassment over this for something he done 20 years ago. This is a touchy and sincere topic for him like it is for everyone else. So don’t voice your opinion when you don’t know the whole story.
It'sElise exactly! He was on the verge of tears during his monologue, not because he wants sympathy or attention, but because of how much hate he got last week and is STILL getting for mistakes he made and acknowledged. He knows he screwed up, he even mentioned it, but even after he tries to make things right and get educated, people STILL give him hell. People on Twitter are still calling him racist over the SNL sketch, you can see how much this is all weighing on him
I appreciate Jimmy's apology. But what I don't understand is that his Chris Rock blackface skit wasn't some hidden photo/video that someone uncovered. It was a skit broadcast to millions and shown in reruns for 20 years. He and Chris Rock are friends to this day. So, why all of a sudden is he being called out? I'm not saying he shouldn't be called out, but why just now?
Jimmy Kimmel did so much more than that on his own show, Oprah and Carl Malone. I guess we got to go thru that too. Honestly I think conservatives are just feeling like they are calling out hypocrisy in the left, the White House has been mentioning late night talk show hosts recently, there won't be many white people left to entertain us if we keep doing this. They're trying to deflect from their own systemic racism by nitpicking liberal whites who may have made mistakes in the past.
Another phoney limousine liberal. Black people should actually be offended by this because it is so fake. Comedy today is about as fun as a vegan bar b q using an electric grill
Because there is a new culture of bullying in America. If a person makes one mistake in their entire life or types or says anything wrong the flying bullies scream in to brand them evil and try to get them fired and persecuted any way possible. Its bullies people. Thats what is going on. Jimmy Fallon is scared he will be fired because of the bullies.
Jimmy .. I love that u did this. Love n honesty. I called Brenda today, my best friend, and apologized for how long it took me to speak up against the ugly racist words said against her. She is a accomplished n powerful woman, and I am so lucky to call her a friend. Thank u Jimmy. Thanks
It doesnt help either when the racist leader of the US is fanning the Flames. He should be a voice of reason, trying to unite his country, instead of using force to end the protests. People.have the right to be angry and sad and vengeful and any other emotion they feel, politicians dont want to listen to their voices, then people will make sure they're heard. And props to Jimmy and Don for using their voices for good.
Your right. The racist leader that led this country back into the times before our beloved MLK... then we had so much peace and the racial divide was lessened to a great extent. The Barack Obama and his wife came along with their America-hating, race-baiting rhetoric and made every single thing about race ... Yes...that leader led the country backwards and fanned the flames. Jimmy is trying to be good, he is. Don is a race-baiter, like Obama.
Or he boldly LIES about Trump not bothering to tweet about George Floyd, when Trump had posted a whole TRIBUTE to Floyd that Twitter immediately removed! There's no way Lemon was ignorant of this. He just lied to our faces.
I really wish those that believes Learn How To Read. Then Read The Entire Stories Of The Bible. *This Violence Is The Result Of White Christian Fundamentalism!* NOTHING AT ALL ABOUT GOD OR JESUS! In fact and as a matter of fact, *If You Listen Closely To Their Sermons Most Will Reveal In Code Words THAT YOU'RE NOT TO BE IN A CHURCH, Or Listening To What Any Holy Person Says. *How many complete stories have you read from the bible in any church?* How would you know what the stories say if you never read them?
@@arguescreamholler and if YOU read your bible properly u shud know that Racism is a spirit This is not a physical thing it is spiritual And its started from the Noahs 3/4 sons White ppl are NOT our enemy ... Think about it....
I swear 🙌🏾 my strict ass Jamaican mother loves you Jimmy!!! ...but on GOD I love you Don Lemon ❤️✊🏾 Thank you for using your platform to be a voice for our people...and calling out the ones who have such an influence in our community...”speak to us about life” and how they relate in all aspects, yet to remain silent during the fight for our KNOWN systemic oppression....you are treasured ❤️
Please not right now....but you know black people are the kindest, most forgiving, accepting, compassionate, empathetic people in this world and Speak from the heart--to our detriment sometimes. We are who We are.
@@leonwright8643 and has that gotten us ANYWHERE progressively? Look at what happens when we do that. Cops get off easier, and people that ought to be punished proceed on their daily business... because we basically said, "its okay, it wasn't your fault, we wont punish you", please you can miss me with all of that.
Ebizzill I know, I know! As stated, to our detriment! This time is different. Too much at stake and the cheeks have left the building and are no longer turning!
I hate how there is never a peep about how United States routinely circumcises boys, yet here is this bullshit about people crying over career criminals.
"All Lives Matter" can only be TRUE when Black Lives do, too! Again, if a house is on fire, you're not going to say "All Houses Matter" - stop being ignorant.
That's the thing we're not trying to, nobody wants INEQUALITY or HASHTAGS of unjust lives lost.…so when it's people like you who shout "all lives matter"....do something to BRIDGE the gap, that you (or your ancestors) help to destroy. What you doing to help??
Good on Don and hats off to Jimmy both of you are doing the things you are supposed to using your platforms and looking to see others follow. Keep the momentum going
It is a time to change, he is right! Don Lemon is one of the journalists I admire and respect so much!!! Everything he says is to be taken into account...
Lemon is a race baiter and smart enough to make people think otherwise. To tell people what race their friends need to be?! Whatever. If you think overall racism and racist cops are the problem, check out the number of deaths in the black population due to black on black homicides and abortions. Stop letting yourself be brainwashed by the media!
barley 1 I agree with you buddy. I love how Lemon try’s to play it off like he’s got everyone’s interest at heart. He doesn’t give a shit, if you don’t think as he thinks then that automatically makes you a phobe something or the other. For him to act like he has the moral high ground is infuriating, feels almost like he’s trolling.
I love how famous influencers or famous people in general are using their platform to finally make a change in the world. Our generation needs to speak up and change the world for the better. But remember this also isn’t an excuse to steal or do harmful things that aren’t necessary to this cause. Thank you for sharing your story and thank you to everyone joining the peaceful protests, remember to be safe and we all need to come together to create change. #blm ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Honey Black people have been managing our anger for years. On a regular basis white people say ignorant things to us. Out of concern of being "the angry black woman" or the "big scary Black man" we "turn the other cheek" Especially at work Us managing our anger has allowed some white people to be so comfortable that they see NOTHING wrong with their actions towards us. Mind you I'm not just speaking of blatant racism but also the small micro agressions that make us feel uncomfortable af So who is it that needs to manage their anger?
Come on ladies and gentlemen. My man Jimmy Fallon made dumb mistake almost 20 years ago. Didn't we all? And now he has to pay the highest price? He spoke up and said he was sorry. Me as a Black man was touched by his segment the other day. I mean it. Jimmy Fallon is a good man. Great to see and hear Don Lemon btw. Love and ✌️ to us all.
I agree 1,000,000,000% with Don! That was absolutely selfless of Jimmy! He is such a humble guy. Ive loved him b4 the movement & now he has touched my heart ❤️ in such a way😭! I loved his honesty! Jimmy you are a man that rocks🥰🥰🥰! If only I could hug 🤗 him right now!!!! Don you’re doing a great job covering all the horrific situations that have occurred within the last few months!!! Not to mention you do a great job on a daily basis👍🏽! Your transparency is fantastic!!! Thank you both🤩😍💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾!
I am a 67 year old white woman who has a mixed race son and mixed race grandchildren. I have been working to change things non violently for 39 years. I have people of other races as friends but I get judged as a racist and today I was verbally assulted. But I'm a Christian and I forgive the person but I am very hurt. Please love one another.
Big Nasty - your name is so adequate. Thanks for the additional toxicity you decided to add on top of everything else happening in the world right now. The only stupid issue I see is the fact that you hate your own life so you insist on adding more hate to others.. please go to sleep and don’t worry about waking up.
Big Nasty - very witty and selfish yet again. Maybe if you were out there showing some actual support instead of being the internet’s worst keyboard warrior you wouldn’t have the time to troll. Your literally not worth it there are bigger things happening and not everything is about you. You have no idea what your talking about and for that reason I stand by my statement. 🖕🏽
Big Nasty - there is a time and a place but why would you focus on the infighting between coloured people when the main focus is on demanding justice for humanity in general? Why displace your anger when it could be used for a better purpose? Oh, that’s right because your openly stating that you do not support any type of cause that increases peace for any race or religion. Just make sure the comments door doesn’t hit you on the way out.. your face has been through enough. My thoughts will forever be my own and how I choose to express them will always be in a respectful manner but I detest having to bring myself down to your pathetic level because of the hate and rage you show towards your own people it’s disgusting!
Big Nasty you just made yourself look worse. And you are being hypocritical if you sat back and analyse your comments. Once again, stop just focusing on yourself this isn’t about you. Your focussing on a battle that is able to be discussed after this. But for right now, it isn’t just YOUR community and YOUR people. This injustice belongs to all of us and we all need to own it and fight for change. Get out of your own head and get in to the streets! Get into the voting booth.. and get out of the comments if you have nothing but hate to spew. Your an embarrassment to a society trying to demand justice and freedom.. your self involved and hateful.
@@desijesi8450 I think I'm going to step in here and try to be rational. Not all whites are racists. Period. End of statement. But, celebrities are turning this into something that it isn't. George Floyd was executed because of the lazy, "unoffending" recruiting sector of his police district. The world focuses too much on not hurting other people emotionally, and "giving every one else a chance." So, they let a sociopath into there ranks by either not testing him, or by giving him a "fair chance." The problem is not racist cops abusing there power like celebrities think. Its the fact that we do not push our testing to the extreme to filter those people out of the system. As for the point about the "Blacks kill whites on a regular basis," they do. Just look at cities like Chicago. Hate violence happens in reverse. Its just not mainstream, since it doesn't involve an authoritarian figure, such as an officer. But, the fact that everyone has turned this around to say that "all white cops are racist," doesn't work for me. They are just not. It kind of makes me feel like the blacks are truly the racist ones. Unreasonable, blaming, violent towards whites. I think my point stands.
Listening to you speaking from the heart Jimmy with honesty and compassion it made me cry. Not with sadness but with love and understanding. I am with you Jimmy. You spoke with eloquence, love, compassion, and with a new understanding of the way the world and this country are and where we need, no not need but why we have to have a different mindset about how the last 400 years have went and our role in keeping the status quo as it was with Caucasians as the dominators. You speak to the need to have real equality among all races not the “white centric” thinking of the last 400 years. That we have to have REAL EQUALITY among the races. The death of George Floyd needs to be the time we make the changes and not just gives lip service to them. We ALL have to be the change we are looking for! From this day forward there has be a societal change to real equality for black and brown people. We have to seize this moment in history to make those changes!
don lemon was anchor on cnn when i turned on the tube to hear about mj and ff deaths and saw myself on air at troy anthony davis amnesty international protest on Ga Capital steps 😢 - i appreciate both of these men for their dedication to getting important conversations to the forefront of the dialogues rather than deliberate distractions
Change is very hard, but we can do it. We are smart, creative, loving, and capable. I look forward to when humanity is the greatest gift we have toward each other.
I have seen video tape off exactly the same thing happened to a white man and the cops laughed and joked about how he looked dead and the police officer still was leaning on his back while this man had already quit breathing.. and they constantly made jokes and then paramedics show up and tell them he’s dead and they are still cracking jokes. I just want to point out that it happens to both black and white but when it happens to be white cops did it to a white man.. well obviously the word racist isn’t put out there.. so it doesn’t get as much attention. But everything these two are saying I agree with we need to examine our lives and who we let in.. are we making a good example for the future and for our peers.. and forgive people for being human.. because if you don’t learn to forgive.. it does something inside of you.. and we do need to have honest open dialogues and listen and learn from each other not just say what we want to say then disregard what the other person says. We can all agree that things like this are heartbreaking and terrible and I don’t want my children to grow up in a world where things like that happen.. but i am going to use this as a teaching moment instead of pretending it’s not happening and shielding their eyes from it. Instead I turned on the news last night and started a dialogue with my children and my hope is that they will grow up differently.
I truly appreciate people who are candid, you see them for who they truly are & you appreciate them that much more. A lot of times we (including myself) don’t like hearing the truth but in the end it’s so much better to hear the truth b/c it causes you to look at yourself & think. My mother was one of those people who spoke what was on her heart & I really miss her. Keep doing what you’re doing Mr. Lemon . 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Don Lemon is all that!! I love his candor, clarity, intelligence and professionalism! He's good lookin too!! And Jimmy Fallon, I personally didn't need an apology from you. You are a talented, funny and very compassionate comedian! You were performing something funny, your job! Keep doing YOU!!!
Jimmy did his job @SNL, it did not come from a place of hate or discrimination. He was doing a imitation of his friend. The fact he apologized for this is courageous, because those that have been criticizing and threatening him are accusing him of being racist. Yes, he seems genuinely upset during the videos. The fact that he IS NOT a racist, has got to be so upsetting and embarrassing. I love jimmy and what I hope comes of his apology is that those who have been racist have the courage to look at themselves, admit their own privilege and apologize for their own behavior.
All Celebrities and sportsmen & women should speak out and support change, the world is looking up to them for true leadership in these Trying and Challenging times.
I agree with the vacuum of leadership where are the people who speak with vision? I still remember the iconic words of President Kennedy and Martin Luther King JR.
I miss the day when entertainment, news and politics were on their own field and news were not bias or misleading they tell us the truth and its us the public to do their own choice nowadays i have to do lot of research to choose a side after watching every news.
As a linguist I find it interesting how black Americans refer to themselves by color. “As a black American” “the black community” “the first black president” that is also a way of setting yourself apart, making a distinction from “white”. Racism needs to dealt with on both sides, it’s not making black equal to white what eliminates racism, it’s not even thinking in terms of black and white that needs to be addressed.
As a very lucky white woman from Australia I can not even imagine and do not even try , but I have to admit when we visited New York in 2017 I have to say that I was scared of some groups of black people, they where swinging punches at each other and swearing and I had to run out of the way with my 4 month old child. I had never even given it a thought until I was in NY and at that point in time I was so scared, and I am so sorry that I Was so scared but I was so scared. So how do I change that reaction that I had. On the flip side we had a amazing time 90% of the time, but that 10% was very very confronting. But I hate what has happened to every single one of those lives lost and abused and treated poorly. I do not know I just feel so sad for your Country, every country has there issues with racism but we do not have to deal with the brutality that those of color in the USA do.
Research and study the history of white fear as a tactic of white supremacy. Unlearn it. And hopefully don’t be the while woman who calls police unnecessarily.
@@dnt211 i did not call the police, and if it where a group of other colors throwing punches I would have be scared. I am an Australian and parts of New York scared me. Violence seems to be just a part of daily life, is it not important to stop all forms of violence. Never once have I been scared of anyone of color in my own country. I also was vey afriad of all the guns arouns the place. It was a culture shock. I was afraid of the black men fighting it was scary as hell.
I cannot stress enough the importance of diversity. I agree with Don Lemon when he says to have black friends. From someone who comes from a diverse family - white to black, I agree wholeheartedly.
No offense but I don’t see big names like beyonce and Oprah walking with protesters . Just tweets and short videos. I’m sick of people being ok with that.
Can't those people have a choice not to say anything when someone expects it from them? Especially since you can't really say anything new, people are repeating the same things. Important things, of course. So maybe they decided to stay quiet to let others be heard. You know, showing their agreement with what is being said in such a way. Or maybe they'll have something to say later, I can't know.
So Don Lemon, we have to count how many black people we hang out and work with??...isnt that racist?? Everybody had to shut up and just be good to every human.
This is like a comorbidity happening to our country with the Corona pandemic going on. I wish that there'd be a more enlightened peaceful and respectful way to resolve this instead of "throwing rocks" and violence...
Marochka Minkeng She lost her job and the rescue organization that she got her dog from asked her to return the dog because of the way she treated him in the video.
The training to subdue someone this way is totally flawed. I knew it from the very first time I saw it on another cop show.l believe Floyd isn't the first victim of this kind of apprehension.
It is time for change, ever black and brown person in America need to get out in November to start that change by voting, thats the biggest way to protest.
Maybe things won't go back to normal.. but, normal wasn't so great for a lot of people, so... Instead of trying to go back to normal, let's try becoming better than normal. Worth a shot, right?

This is a touchy and sincere topic for him like it is for everyone else. So don’t voice your opinion when you don’t know the whole story.
It'sElise exactly! He was on the verge of tears during his monologue, not because he wants sympathy or attention, but because of how much hate he got last week and is STILL getting for mistakes he made and acknowledged. He knows he screwed up, he even mentioned it, but even after he tries to make things right and get educated, people STILL give him hell. People on Twitter are still calling him racist over the SNL sketch, you can see how much this is all weighing on him
I thank the both of you,
from the bottom of my heart. R.I.P George Floyd 😭😭.
I would love to see these celebrities united for real.
Fuk celebrities!
Thanks jim for your opening your consciousness to another level..
You will inspire others
I appreciate Jimmy's apology. But what I don't understand is that his Chris Rock blackface skit wasn't some hidden photo/video that someone uncovered. It was a skit broadcast to millions and shown in reruns for 20 years. He and Chris Rock are friends to this day. So, why all of a sudden is he being called out? I'm not saying he shouldn't be called out, but why just now?
Because white men BAD
Jimmy Kimmel did so much more than that on his own show, Oprah and Carl Malone. I guess we got to go thru that too. Honestly I think conservatives are just feeling like they are calling out hypocrisy in the left, the White House has been mentioning late night talk show hosts recently, there won't be many white people left to entertain us if we keep doing this. They're trying to deflect from their own systemic racism by nitpicking liberal whites who may have made mistakes in the past.
Because Twitter is cancer.
Another phoney limousine liberal. Black people should actually be offended by this because it is so fake. Comedy today is about as fun as a vegan bar b q using an electric grill
Because there is a new culture of bullying in America. If a person makes one mistake in their entire life or types or says anything wrong the flying bullies scream in to brand them evil and try to get them fired and persecuted any way possible. Its bullies people. Thats what is going on. Jimmy Fallon is scared he will be fired because of the bullies.
Jimmy .. I love that u did this. Love n honesty. I called Brenda today, my best friend, and apologized for how long it took me to speak up against the ugly racist words said against her. She is a accomplished n powerful woman, and I am so lucky to call her a friend. Thank u Jimmy. Thanks
Elizabeth Morris oh please...posturing
If it took you a long time, and were convinced by watching a lame video, to stand up for a “friend”, then you’re a POS, no matter the race.
It doesnt help either when the racist leader of the US is fanning the Flames. He should be a voice of reason, trying to unite his country, instead of using force to end the protests. People.have the right to be angry and sad and vengeful and any other emotion they feel, politicians dont want to listen to their voices, then people will make sure they're heard. And props to Jimmy and Don for using their voices for good.
William McCollom just say about your ultimate goal for the president...I know you wanna say it
Your right. The racist leader that led this country back into the times before our beloved MLK... then we had so much peace and the racial divide was lessened to a great extent. The Barack Obama and his wife came along with their America-hating, race-baiting rhetoric and made every single thing about race ... Yes...that leader led the country backwards and fanned the flames. Jimmy is trying to be good, he is. Don is a race-baiter, like Obama.
Grateful to these guys for speaking on this topic as you know this has been going on for years. We need change.
Then change. Stop doing the same sh*t over and over again.
I just fan girl all over the place when Don Lemon speaks with passion. 🥰
Terri Oliver Don is a race pimp
LMFAO Someone actually "fan girls" over Don "Frumunda Cheese" Lemon??
Kyle G what does that mean?
Running Bearski y’all just have to be ugly. I like to find positive things and point them out. God bless you.
Or he boldly LIES about Trump not bothering to tweet about George Floyd, when Trump had posted a whole TRIBUTE to Floyd that Twitter immediately removed! There's no way Lemon was ignorant of this. He just lied to our faces.
We have to keep this dialogue going and push for change that is long overdue 🙌💯
Then you need to take it up with the SCOTUS and have then repeal qualified immunity. Hold the officers personally accountable for their actions
Thank you, Jimmy.
If you guys read this God loves you God bless 😃❤️
Why thank u jio, that made my day 👍
I m not christian but never turn my back to a blessing coming from a sincere heart. Blessings to you too
I really wish those that believes Learn How To Read. Then Read The Entire Stories Of The Bible.
*This Violence Is The Result Of White Christian Fundamentalism!* NOTHING AT ALL ABOUT GOD OR JESUS! In fact and as a matter of fact, *If You Listen Closely To Their Sermons Most Will Reveal In Code Words THAT YOU'RE NOT TO BE IN A CHURCH, Or Listening To What Any Holy Person Says.
*How many complete stories have you read from the bible in any church?*
How would you know what the stories say if you never read them?
You to my friend
@@arguescreamholler and if YOU read your bible properly u shud know that Racism is a spirit
This is not a physical thing it is spiritual
And its started from the Noahs 3/4 sons

... Think about it....
I swear 🙌🏾 my strict ass Jamaican mother loves you Jimmy!!! ...but on GOD I love you Don Lemon ❤️✊🏾 Thank you for using your platform to be a voice for our people...and calling out the ones who have such an influence in our community...”speak to us about life” and how they relate in all aspects, yet to remain silent during the fight for our KNOWN systemic oppression....you are treasured ❤️
When UA-cam let it seems like there is no one's watching a video and when you enter 4 comments, 24 likes and 1 dislike
Please don’t cry and make all of us cry with you , Jimmy! You’re the best.
Race pimping Don
i swear to god! if the families come out and say "we forgive them" or some sh*t like that... we're going to have some BIG problems.
Please not right now....but you know black people are the kindest, most forgiving, accepting, compassionate, empathetic people in this world and Speak from the heart--to our detriment sometimes. We are who We are.
@@leonwright8643 and has that gotten us ANYWHERE progressively? Look at what happens when we do that. Cops get off easier, and people that ought to be punished proceed on their daily business... because we basically said, "its okay, it wasn't your fault, we wont punish you", please you can miss me with all of that.
Ebizzill I know, I know! As stated, to our detriment! This time is different. Too much at stake and the cheeks have left the building and are no longer turning!
Jimmy you're amazing!!!
Jimmy Fallon = one of the true leaders in all of this.
Thanks 4 bringing all these amazing leaders on your show to help heal our nation.
Jimmy, you should ask the author of White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo to come on your show. That book changed my life.
What a soy
Changed your life how?
I hate how there is never a peep about how United States routinely circumcises boys, yet here is this bullshit about people crying over career criminals.
Thank you for this both of you! This is where is starts.
Glad to see Jimmy back and that he took up this issue.
Thank you Jimmy...a brilliant show. Vonnie...from Canada...

Good on Don and hats off to Jimmy both of you are doing the things you are supposed to using your platforms and looking to see others follow. Keep the momentum going
I love both of these men. Had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy Fallon years ago on the set of a movie called Whip It. He's a gem.
It is a time to change, he is right! Don Lemon is one of the journalists I admire and respect so much!!! Everything he says is to be taken into account...
Don lemon is the worst. Besides Hitler, I have never seen someone push hatred so hard.
Lemon is a race baiter and smart enough to make people think otherwise. To tell people what race their friends need to be?! Whatever. If you think overall racism and racist cops are the problem, check out the number of deaths in the black population due to black on black homicides and abortions. Stop letting yourself be brainwashed by the media!
barley 1 I agree with you buddy. I love how Lemon try’s to play it off like he’s got everyone’s interest at heart. He doesn’t give a shit, if you don’t think as he thinks then that automatically makes you a phobe something or the other. For him to act like he has the moral high ground is infuriating, feels almost like he’s trolling.
You probably listen to top 40 radio also. You're a sheep mainstream consumer.
You're alright, Jimmy.
Thank you for your humility, honesty, and courage. You are an influencer of change. You already have made a difference. Thank you.
These Guys Are AWESOME
I love how famous influencers or famous people in general are using their platform to finally make a change in the world. Our generation needs to speak up and change the world for the better. But remember this also isn’t an excuse to steal or do harmful things that aren’t necessary to this cause. Thank you for sharing your story and thank you to everyone joining the peaceful protests, remember to be safe and we all need to come together to create change. #blm ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
@@jake-mc7jy don't listen to that jerk your better than that Jesus Christ man do you want change or not?
@Big Nasty I'm actually 19 by the way just saying
Try to manage your anger since people can't manage their stupidity.
😇
Honey Black people have been managing our anger for years. On a regular basis white people say ignorant things to us. Out of concern of being "the angry black woman" or the "big scary Black man" we "turn the other cheek" Especially at work Us managing our anger has allowed some white people to be so comfortable that they see NOTHING wrong with their actions towards us. Mind you I'm not just speaking of blatant racism but also the small micro agressions that make us feel uncomfortable af So who is it that needs to manage their anger?
What if I told you that its not about the color of our skin but the content of our character....
Good for you. Time for millions more to come to that realization.
you would be speaking truth
Unity we are a community... We are all one in spirit...
Come on ladies and gentlemen. My man Jimmy Fallon made dumb mistake almost 20 years ago. Didn't we all? And now he has to pay the highest price? He spoke up and said he was sorry. Me as a Black man was touched by his segment the other day. I mean it. Jimmy Fallon is a good man. Great to see and hear Don Lemon btw. Love and ✌️ to us all.
Fuk Don Lemon!
I agree 1,000,000,000% with Don! That was absolutely selfless of Jimmy! He is such a humble guy. Ive loved him b4 the movement & now he has touched my heart ❤️ in such a way😭! I loved his honesty! Jimmy you are a man that rocks🥰🥰🥰! If only I could hug 🤗 him right now!!!! Don you’re doing a great job covering all the horrific situations that have occurred within the last few months!!! Not to mention you do a great job on a daily basis👍🏽! Your transparency is fantastic!!! Thank you both🤩😍💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾!
I'm Sadden By what happened to George Floyd
I am a 67 year old white woman who has a mixed race son and mixed race grandchildren. I have been working to change things non violently for 39 years. I have people of other races as friends but I get judged as a racist and today I was verbally assulted. But I'm a Christian and I forgive the person but I am very hurt. Please love one another.
Thank you Jimmy. We are all in this together. Plenty of room for growth and improvement. Prayers 🙏
Jimmie You are rocking it. This has been an absolutely amazing series of shows. I am so grateful and so impressed. Thank you.
Thank you Jimmy and Don. Honest and wise words.
Jimmy looks like a little kid. Anyway I don't care about the skit he did but I'm happy for all the realizations he has come to
Yes. Jimmy Fallon has apologized for that mistake.
😔💔💬 R.I.P George Floyd 🖤 and every other soul who was ripped from this world simply for being coloured 🕊
Big Nasty - your name is so adequate. Thanks for the additional toxicity you decided to add on top of everything else happening in the world right now. The only stupid issue I see is the fact that you hate your own life so you insist on adding more hate to others.. please go to sleep and don’t worry about waking up.
Big Nasty - very witty and selfish yet again. Maybe if you were out there showing some actual support instead of being the internet’s worst keyboard warrior you wouldn’t have the time to troll. Your literally not worth it there are bigger things happening and not everything is about you. You have no idea what your talking about and for that reason I stand by my statement. 🖕🏽
Big Nasty - there is a time and a place but why would you focus on the infighting between coloured people when the main focus is on demanding justice for humanity in general? Why displace your anger when it could be used for a better purpose? Oh, that’s right because your openly stating that you do not support any type of cause that increases peace for any race or religion. Just make sure the comments door doesn’t hit you on the way out.. your face has been through enough. My thoughts will forever be my own and how I choose to express them will always be in a respectful manner but I detest having to bring myself down to your pathetic level because of the hate and rage you show towards your own people it’s disgusting!
Big Nasty you just made yourself look worse. And you are being hypocritical if you sat back and analyse your comments. Once again, stop just focusing on yourself this isn’t about you. Your focussing on a battle that is able to be discussed after this. But for right now, it isn’t just YOUR community and YOUR people. This injustice belongs to all of us and we all need to own it and fight for change. Get out of your own head and get in to the streets! Get into the voting booth.. and get out of the comments if you have nothing but hate to spew. Your an embarrassment to a society trying to demand justice and freedom.. your self involved and hateful.
@@desijesi8450 I think I'm going to step in here and try to be rational. Not all whites are racists. Period. End of statement. But, celebrities are turning this into something that it isn't. George Floyd was executed because of the lazy, "unoffending" recruiting sector of his police district. The world focuses too much on not hurting other people emotionally, and "giving every one else a chance." So, they let a sociopath into there ranks by either not testing him, or by giving him a "fair chance." The problem is not racist cops abusing there power like celebrities think. Its the fact that we do not push our testing to the extreme to filter those people out of the system. As for the point about the "Blacks kill whites on a regular basis," they do. Just look at cities like Chicago. Hate violence happens in reverse. Its just not mainstream, since it doesn't involve an authoritarian figure, such as an officer. But, the fact that everyone has turned this around to say that "all white cops are racist," doesn't work for me. They are just not. It kind of makes me feel like the blacks are truly the racist ones. Unreasonable, blaming, violent towards whites. I think my point stands.
I love love Jimmy....humble as hell but can be one of the funniest Ty Jimmy #GF and all the others....i won’t forget
Listening to you speaking from the heart Jimmy with honesty and compassion it made me cry. Not with sadness but with love and understanding. I am with you Jimmy. You spoke with eloquence, love, compassion, and with a new understanding of the way the world and this country are and where we need, no not need but why we have to have a different mindset about how the last 400 years have went and our role in keeping the status quo as it was with Caucasians as the dominators. You speak to the need to have real equality among all races not the “white centric” thinking of the last 400 years. That we have to have REAL EQUALITY among the races. The death of George Floyd needs to be the time we make the changes and not just gives lip service to them. We ALL have to be the change we are looking for! From this day forward there has be a societal change to real equality for black and brown people. We have to seize this moment in history to make those changes!
well said my friend, we cannot lose the moment, all of the black and brown brothers need to get out in November and vote not just moan and protest.
Monday June 8th is the day to VOTE for those in Georgia.
don lemon was anchor on cnn when i turned on the tube to hear about mj and ff deaths and saw myself on air at troy anthony davis amnesty international protest on Ga Capital steps 😢
- i appreciate both of these men for their dedication to getting important conversations to the forefront of the dialogues rather than deliberate distractions
Great information!💕
The Answer to this is right in front of us.(THE BIBLE).
Love this conversation
Change is very hard, but we can do it. We are smart, creative, loving, and capable. I look forward to when humanity is the greatest gift we have toward each other.
I have seen video tape off exactly the same thing happened to a white man and the cops laughed and joked about how he looked dead and the police officer still was leaning on his back while this man had already quit breathing.. and they constantly made jokes and then paramedics show up and tell them he’s dead and they are still cracking jokes. I just want to point out that it happens to both black and white but when it happens to be white cops did it to a white man.. well obviously the word racist isn’t put out there.. so it doesn’t get as much attention. But everything these two are saying I agree with we need to examine our lives and who we let in.. are we making a good example for the future and for our peers.. and forgive people for being human.. because if you don’t learn to forgive.. it does something inside of you.. and we do need to have honest open dialogues and listen and learn from each other not just say what we want to say then disregard what the other person says. We can all agree that things like this are heartbreaking and terrible and I don’t want my children to grow up in a world where things like that happen.. but i am going to use this as a teaching moment instead of pretending it’s not happening and shielding their eyes from it. Instead I turned on the news last night and started a dialogue with my children and my hope is that they will grow up differently.
Mike Rosen I will try.. I don’t know how to do that though
I truly appreciate people who are candid, you see them for who they truly are & you appreciate them that much more. A lot of times we (including myself) don’t like hearing the truth but in the end it’s so much better to hear the truth b/c it causes you to look at yourself & think. My mother was one of those people who spoke what was on her heart & I really miss her. Keep doing what you’re doing Mr. Lemon . 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I love Don Lemon, he is a stand up guy
Don Lemon is the dumbest person on CNN, even dumber than Chris Cuomo and that's saying something.
🤦🏽♀️ I’m too tired to reply to your ignorant comments. Get a life and stop the hatred, it takes too much energy and it’s draining!
@@mygodisawesome6121 I don't hate anyone. It's my opinion of CNN's staff and the terrible job they do.

WOW! I Love Don Lemon, now more than ever!
PLEASE watch the proposed "POSITIVE REFORM AGENDA" by GOV. Andrew CUOMO in his DAILY BRIEFING on June 1, 2020
Great interview thank you guys 💯
#humility Jimmy, You are awesome!!!
Jimmy did his job @SNL, it did not come from a place of hate or discrimination. He was doing a imitation of his friend. The fact he apologized for this is courageous, because those that have been criticizing and threatening him are accusing him of being racist. Yes, he seems genuinely upset during the videos. The fact that he IS NOT a racist, has got to be so upsetting and embarrassing. I love jimmy and what I hope comes of his apology is that those who have been racist have the courage to look at themselves, admit their own privilege and apologize for their own behavior.
All Celebrities and sportsmen & women should speak out and support change, the world is looking up to them for true leadership in these Trying and Challenging times.
Don, never stop talking
AGREED!
He doesn't, and that's why he annoys me.
Everyone says things need to change. What needs changed and exactly what are we going to do to change those things?
I love how in the same breath he says he doesn't condone the violent protestors but at the same time is basically encouraging it.
It’s called nuance.
Good messages to think about.
Love Don❤️
You want change? Vote!

I agree with the vacuum of leadership where are the people who speak with vision? I still remember the iconic words of President Kennedy and Martin Luther King JR.
I miss the day when entertainment, news and politics were on their own field and news were not bias or misleading they tell us the truth and its us the public to do their own choice nowadays i have to do lot of research to choose a side after watching every news.
Yesssss!! 🙌
Thank you Jimmy and Don.
As a linguist I find it interesting how black Americans refer to themselves by color. “As a black American” “the black community” “the first black president” that is also a way of setting yourself apart, making a distinction from “white”. Racism needs to dealt with on both sides, it’s not making black equal to white what eliminates racism, it’s not even thinking in terms of black and white that needs to be addressed.
As a very lucky white woman from Australia I can not even imagine and do not even try , but I have to admit when we visited New York in 2017 I have to say that I was scared of some groups of black people, they where swinging punches at each other and swearing and I had to run out of the way with my 4 month old child. I had never even given it a thought until I was in NY and at that point in time I was so scared, and I am so sorry that I Was so scared but I was so scared. So how do I change that reaction that I had. On the flip side we had a amazing time 90% of the time, but that 10% was very very confronting. But I hate what has happened to every single one of those lives lost and abused and treated poorly. I do not know I just feel so sad for your Country, every country has there issues with racism but we do not have to deal with the brutality that those of color in the USA do.
Research and study the history of white fear as a tactic of white supremacy. Unlearn it. And hopefully don’t be the while woman who calls police unnecessarily.
@@dnt211 i did not call the police, and if it where a group of other colors throwing punches I would have be scared. I am an Australian and parts of New York scared me. Violence seems to be just a part of daily life, is it not important to stop all forms of violence. Never once have I been scared of anyone of color in my own country. I also was vey afriad of all the guns arouns the place. It was a culture shock. I was afraid of the black men fighting it was scary as hell.
um where do i go to get in line for my 40 acres and a mule? Too soon?
I cannot stress enough the importance of diversity. I agree with Don Lemon when he says to have black friends. From someone who comes from a diverse family - white to black, I agree wholeheartedly.
No offense but I don’t see big names like beyonce and Oprah walking with protesters . Just tweets and short videos. I’m sick of people being ok with that.
Can't those people have a choice not to say anything when someone expects it from them? Especially since you can't really say anything new, people are repeating the same things. Important things, of course. So maybe they decided to stay quiet to let others be heard. You know, showing their agreement with what is being said in such a way.
Or maybe they'll have something to say later, I can't know.
So Don Lemon, we have to count how many black people we hang out and work with??...isnt that racist??
Everybody had to shut up and just be good to every human.
This is like a comorbidity happening to our country with the Corona pandemic going on. I wish that there'd be a more enlightened peaceful and respectful way to resolve this instead of "throwing rocks" and violence...
I mean i know this is not the main issue here, but whatever happened to that Amy cooper lady? You know the one from central park?
Marochka Minkeng She lost her job and the rescue organization that she got her dog from asked her to return the dog because of the way she treated him in the video.
Vicki1930 oh, well she’ll be fine then.
The training to subdue someone this way is totally flawed. I knew it from the very first time I saw it on another cop show.l believe Floyd isn't the first victim of this kind of apprehension.
All I'm saying is this kind of maneuver of restraining someone shouldn't have been done in the first place. It's wrong and detrimental to anyone.
It is time for change, ever black and brown person in America need to get out in November to start that change by voting, thats the biggest way to protest.
