Watched the video with a replay LINK and the guy misspoke and caught himself immediately. Glad this is our national race scandal of the hour. Check back at 10.

I took history of southern literature at OM freshman year. The professor had a class on derogatory names for all races, there were Asians, middle eastern, blacks, whites in the class...we went race by race and she wrote them on chalk board...if there was a video of that today, our entire class couldn't get a job

I would like to think there was one professional black journalist in Rochester who would have stood up for the meteorologist. Is this what you want - one slip of the tongue and your career is ruined?

King? When Kings tried to get in our back porch, Momma just chase 'em off with a broom.

People are so paranoid about racism right now. I've never even heard that slur at a Klan rally before.

That's so clearly a mistake of mixing king and junior. Everyone has done this with 2 words before. This is so fricking stupid.

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.


Race is played out. The new frontier is gender.

White people don’t even call black people that in private. It’s a fantasy black people have that white people even give a shite about their skin color anymore.

Yup a pretty dumb fumble on his part.

Not surprised however that the mayor wanted his wings clipped considering her background of free shite for all

quote:

An advocate of school choice, Mayor Warren helped the Rochester City School District increase pre-k enrollment by 1,200 percent in 2016 and fostered partnerships to enable the screening of thousands of children for developmental delays. She eliminated library fines for children and has overseen the distribution of thousands of free books to children in the city.


Wonder who audits that city hmmm

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.

bullshite.

Very common for people to accidentally repeat a vowel when rapidly speaking. LUther KOOng instead of Luther King.
