Weatherman Fired for slip of the tongue

[Paul Essien]

How sick is this? Is this really what we've come down to? Shame on the station managers.
New York meteorologist fired after using racial slur on air

You miss the point

His slur is not the issue.

The issue is that his slurs takes place against a backdrop of systemic and institutional racism. And that backdrop of housing and job discrimination, racial profiling, unequal health care access, and a media that regularly presents blacks in the worst possible light makes racial slurs, even if relatively minor, take on a different meaning.

And for you who may change the subject to slurs used against whites like honky or cracker

Please note.

It's precisely the lack of any potent, institutional force to back up those words, which makes them so much easier for whites to shrug off.

But black people are well aware that the slurs used against us, particularly when verbalized by whites are the tip of the iceberg

Do you honestly believe the guy intentionally called black people 'coons"?

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

Is there no footage of him actually uttering the slur? I'd like to hear what he said for myself.

Seems to be a huge difference between coon and king and not simply that he "jumbled a couple of words."

He didn't jumble a couple of words. He jumbled one word, and that one word begins with the same inflection as the one he used. Do you agree he should be fired for being a racist?

F


From the link, "jumbled a couple of words" is his explanation and his quote, not mine.

He didn't jumble a damn thing. And you know that.

 

[IM2]

That was quite a "slip."

When you are Racist you see Racism everywhere.

Maybe that's how whites do it, but we do so after we see evidence.

 

[IM2]

That was quite a "slip."

It happens. Do you think he should have been fired?

Yes. Because it was no slip.

Isn't 'Coon' a disparaging term Pro Black minded Americans use to shame and bully our successful black or American neighbors, friends and co-workers of African descent choosing to peacefully pursue THEIR OWN unique vision for L, L, (Love) and Happiness?

​

Peace.

Hello, Paul. When writing about "black people" are you including a LARGE population of apparent slow-to-evolve, freedom-loving "Pro Black, Woke or Conscious Black Community" minded American citizens, ILLOGICALLY believing they have a right, as well as duty to LOUDLY and HATEFULLY demean, denigrate, bully, taunt, harass, and in some instances threaten with violence, our successful, accomplished black or American friends, neighbors and co-workers of African descent?

"Sell-out" "C^^n" and "Uncle Tom" are just a few HATEFUL, denigrating terms "Pro Black or Conscious Black Community" American citizens use to LOUDLY demean and intimidate our accomplished, successful black or American friends, neighbors and co-workers of African descent choosing to peacefully pursue THEIR OWN unique vision for L, L, (Love) & Happiness.

Whites with their casual racism. They are going to figure it out sooner or later that there are consequences now.

 

[Asclepias]

It happens when you voice what you are thinking about and what you are used to saying in private.

Kinda reminds me of when JJ Reddick called people in China chinks.

Probably. We know for a fact he intentionally called MLK a coon though. Thats why he got fired right?

That is spot on, right there.

 

[Paul Essien]

White people have history with MLK "coon" talk





Sometimes they get real blatant with it

 

[Ghost of a Rider]

White supremacists don't get fired. They get transferred.

That's all that will happen to him. He'll be fine. Some other channel will pick him up

He'll be fine.

The thing is if he's says shit like this at work on air, just imagine how he talks off air ?

It's like when Hank Williams talked shit about Obama but then he got called back
Or the official who called Michelle Obama and "ape" she got her job back

So now he's a white supremacist?

He didn't jumble a damn thing. And you know that.

How do you know it?

 

[Pilot1]

But Cracker, Wop, Dego, and other racial slurs of Whites are OK?
