Meteorologist fired after viewers claim he uttered racial slur on air

I listened to the video and it sounded like a mistake. Now he is fired. We are getting closer to the Minority Report. People and their feelings make me sick.
Side note: seems there is one group of people that just thrive off of racism. It's sad how everything continues to revolve around race.

"It is wrong, hurtful and infuriating that WHEC Channel 10 broadcast a racial slur in reference to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during its Friday News broadcast,” a press release from the city of Rochester read. “It is beyond unacceptable that this occurred. There must be real consequences for the news personality involved and also for the management team that failed to immediately apologize and address the slur.”

What did he say/what did it sound like?

Very clearly a racial slur. The only reason it could have slipped is because it was on his mind. You don’t slip without walking.

There is a Rochester Association of Black Journalists?
Is there a Rochester Association for non Black Journalists?

Sounds like that's what he calls him privately.
I remember the Klan guy on AOC in Lafayette in the 90's called King that.

It’s faux outrage used to wield power. This is absolutely ridiculous logically, I mean why would he say that word purposely in this context? Some loser was watching and figured by feigning outrage, an innocent man’s life could be ruined and did it for the kicks.

I hope that is sarcastic. Clearly sounds like he screwed up his vowels and went with the u in junior before the i in king.

Shitty article doesn't even tell you what he said.
It's been a coon's age since journalists could actually write.

I am going to go with “faux outrage” until someone tells me what he said.

True. Video that is embedded in link has what he said.
Mistakes happen. Now he is labeled a racist for the rest of his life. Damn shame.

Watch the video in the link. He drops a racial slur instead of King in Martin Luther King.
There's a raccoon picture in this thread that should also help clear it up for you.
I don't understand the "claim" in the title. He clearly says it, then double clutches and says King.

Meteorology and racism is cirrus business.

I’m going to wait till you say something inappropriately one day on here. Figure out where you work and then try to get you fired.

100%. He says ‘kung’. He got tongue tied and switched the vowels.

I got banned for saying that when clearly talking about the animal.
Censorship is bad
Funnily enough, there was a representative running for some position in NBR with that “slur” as his last name.
