Famous black liberals continued their attacks on CNN's Don Lemon Tuesday.

Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons weighed in on Twitter a few hours ago calling Lemon a "slave," "dangerous talking head," and a "disservice to the black community":

The nucleus of almost all revolution lies in youth culture. If I was young my pants would be saggin.. #donsalemon..

Don Lemon conservatives love when we blame ourselves for the condition of the community. You do disservice to black community

Hip hop language and clothes are expressions of frustration w/the status quo, your a dangerous talking head just read the news

Saggy pants are no different from afros or darshikis or platform shoes they didn't destroy the fabric of the black community

As NewsBusters reported, Lemon's been savaged by African-American MSNBC employees such as Al Sharpton, Goldie Taylor, and Michael Eric Dyson.

On Monday, a black activist and author called Lemon a professional assassin of African-Americans.

All this for telling his fellow blacks that they should pull up their pants, learn how to speak proper English, get a good education, not litter their neighborhoods, and stop having out of wedlock births.

It really is a warped nation we live in, isn't it?
