Maybe he's a Twitch streamer in his spare time and had a heated gamer moment.Why do these peoples' misspoken words always turn into racial slurs?
You know why.
You mean like, maybe, a former coworker from a different station who has experience with his verbal stumbling and has heard from several people that he suffers from some form of speech impediment?Again, without any other corroborating information one way or the other, anyone speaking definitely is making a sizeable leap.
Can you tell me why you think it couldn't be a mixture of stumble spoonerism and contraction?The only way that's a slip-up is if it's in the "I just said something out loud that I know isn't allowed" kind of slip-up.
Even after more information comes to light that he's uttered the same phrase before. Ya'll defenders of these racist fucks are something else.
White people. Innocent until proven guilty but still considered innocent.
LOL his wife has the "sad White lady" face down pat though. Just watching it for 20 seconds I lost about 100 HP, my magic armor began to deplete, and I could feel sympathy start to muster before I snapped out of it and exited the browser.
I just saw a guy use a slur on air, play victim, and then use his wife as a prop and commented accordingly. If my post made you more racist then that's on you.Not sure how these sort of things pass without even an admin warning on here --- generalities against any ethnicity should be discouraged. Letting these go unchecked just deepens the divide and reinforces stereotyping & judgmental thoughts.
What evidence? A tweeted accusation from Kenneth B Morris Jr, descendent of Booker T Washington & Frederick Douglas & founder of FDFI (http://www.fdfi.org/founder-president.html )with no evidence that he even knows this guy? Show some real linkage between these guys to back up that Kenneth B Morris knows this guy personally or has even crossed paths with him and there will be a little more to grasp there.

I dunno, saying this as a white dude, maybe white people have and continue to get the benefit of the doubt in most other circumstances? I don't necessarily agree with their posts but I don't let it ruin my day.
It's social commentary. Whites will always get the benefit of the doubt no matter what. That 4 minute clip of her silent anguish will infinitely fuel more sympathy from the general public than any anguished woman of color mourning her murdered child for example. There's no malice behind either post. You don't have to concern troll about division because if you were bout it to begin with on race relations, those posts wouldn't have affected you.As others have said, no one will definitively be able to prove that this was an actual deliberate on-air slur or just a flubbing/blending of king and junior, cutting the flub off mid-flub.
I'd love to know where posters on here can get away with quipping about 'sad WHITE lady face' (please, tell me what that is and how it's possible to be limited to that ethnicity) and that 'white people are typically innocent until proven guilty but still considered innocent'. No flubs there in commentary like that ---- just blatantly hypocritical stereotyping.
Agreed - it's calling out the benefactors of a racist power structure and has nothing to do with stereotyping.It's social commentary. Whites will always get the benefit of the doubt no matter what.

Wait so do you think something like "White people tend to get treated better in the criminal justice system." is stereotyping? Also, "hypocritical stereotyping" explain how a statement about the favorable treatment white people receive is hypocritical. What type of stereotypes do you want to use but think you can't?I'd love to know where posters on here can get away with quipping about 'sad WHITE lady face' (please, tell me what that is and how it's possible to be limited to that ethnicity) and that 'white people are typically innocent until proven guilty but still considered innocent'.

Not ruining my day either. Just making an observation, since I see this sort of harmful dialogue get a free pass on this forum all the time and while not ruining my day, it does bother me that it goes almost completely unchecked.
"It slipped out because he's a racist" would only work if "MLC" was a name he's known for, or if it works grammatically (albeit racist/bigoted). The latter is obviously nonsense, but I've never heard MLK called MLC...?
This simply does not sound like something even a racist would say, which leads me to think he combined "king" and "junior" too quickly.
Have you never really heard about it because it is very much a real thing."It slipped out because he's a racist" would only work if "MLC" was a name he's known for, or if it works grammatically (albeit racist/bigoted). The latter is obviously nonsense, but I've never heard MLK called MLC...?

Man I get the impression that some of y'all never actually speak.
This is my favorite words mixup of all time. Check out her face when she realizes what she said:

You really should read the entire thread."It slipped out because he's a racist" would only work if "MLC" was a name he's known for, or if it works grammatically (albeit racist/bigoted). The latter is obviously nonsense, but I've never heard MLK called MLC...?

Well that's exactly why I put the question mark in. No I hadn't heard that. Obviously.
Racists often refer to him in such a way, yet you wrote that he wasn't known as "Martin Luther Coon" which is a pretty clear statement, not a question.It slipped out because he's a racist" would only work if "MLC" was a name he's known for, or if it works grammatically (albeit racist/bigoted).

The difference between white supremacist rhetoric and what's going on here is that supremacist rhetoric is frequently baseless, offering no greater understanding of the world other than to invoke fear among its adherents.
Systemic prejudice, on the other hand, is a large, well-established field and thinking these are also "just stereotypes" tells me you have no idea what you're talking about, assuming you're even being genuine.
"Open to being correct" bullshit. You came into a thread that you didn't even bother to read to fling more nonsense around. Throwing a question mark on the end of this nonsense: "The latter is obviously nonsense, but I've never heard MLK called MLC..." doesn't make it a question. That also a statement that you have never heard him called that.So you cut out this from my quote, why?: "The latter is obviously nonsense, but I've never heard MLK called MLC...?"
What the fuck is wrong with this place? You make it pretty clear you're open to being corrected, and yet there's a queue of people ready to jump down your throat to try and make you feel like an idiot for not knowing something.
Thank you to the people who had the courtesy to respond without snark and point me in the direction of appropriate reading.

2. "Whites will always get the benefit of the doubt no matter what. That 4 minute clip of her silent anguish will infinitely fuel more sympathy from the general public than any anguished woman of color mourning her murdered child for example. "
If there are studies that show that statement #2 above is true, that sad Caucasian women generally elicit far more sympathy than members of other ethnicities, then statement #2 is a fact and is not a harmful stereotypical statement. It would be interesting to see studies on that. If studies with such clear results don't exist, then its just an misguided stereotypical opinion that shouldn't be tolerated on here.

This is with 10 minutes of searching. There's no way I can give you the totality of scholarship on race and gender bias in criminal proceedings in a legible format.

However, statement #1 above, on its own, is not constructive and would be at the very minimum warning-worthy if another ethnicity was substituted for 'white'"

Maybe people would be nicer if folks like yourself would put forth a modicum of effort into reading a thread before posting.
But the truth of the matter is, you couldn't wait handwave this as nothing so you didn't bother to read thread or find out if it was a thing.
If this is what you believe then fine. You are absolutely incorrect in your interpretation and being argumentative for the sake of it. Enjoy your win or whatever.
There is nothing to win here and it is absolutely not an incorrect interpretation. You didn't bother to read the thread, if you did would you have still made the post you made?If this is what you believe then fine.
