1. Dang it was an honest mistake. The man was talking too damn fast! Y’all stupid!

   • Ari stop it

   • Exactly. He mashed together King and Junior by accident and quickly corrected himself. We picking the wrong battles and are only alienating people who probably want to be allies.

   • Wrong. I am white & have a lot of racist family (distant) & that is whAT RAcisist white people call MLK day. Martin Luther Coon Day. I bet that isn’t the only time he said that. BTW I don’t associate with those family members unless I have to. I have mixed grandkids that I have to protect.

   • +Sweety hide exactly!

2. *NO ONE SHOULD EVER BE RACIST!*

3. I think racist people should be given a chance to redeem themselves. Even trump.

   • Hot Sauce he isn’t racist at all

   • Do you believe black descendants of slaves in America should get repirations?

   • +Kreepy Pasta
     Lol! He stated he is a Nationalist dude. Plus, have you ever heard of the central park 5. What about the multiple lawsuits he settled for housing discrimination. I get it, you are a Trump fanboy.

   • +Donny P
     You’re too stupid to even converse with.

   • +Kreepy Pasta

     Yep, that was an intellectual response. Now, you look stupid.

4. Well if we’re supposed to let Kevin Hart off because it’s just words then this guy should be let off too.

   • Leutrell Bodden White comedians have been using the N word. Didn’t you see Louis C.K.??? And guess what, he still has a career! Kevin Hart is a comedian that based his career off of offensive jokes specifically intended for a mature audience, not a news network. This guy is a weatherman that’s on a national tv news network where you’re not even allowed to curse or risk getting fined, let alone say racial slurs. You’re using a straw man’s argument. There’s no comparison.

   • +John Smith so it’s okay to be bigoted as long as you say that it’s comedy? A man accidentally says a word and he should loose his job but a comedian purposely insults an demean a whole group of people but that’s alright? If the weatherman was making a joke would that be okay then?

   • Leutrell Bodden He’s a free lance comedian that built his highly successful career off of offensive jokes. If people didn’t like and supported his work and his jokes, he wouldn’t be where he’s at now. Weathermen have a strict set guideline of rules made by their employer that has to be followed. He broke the rule so now he’s out. If you don’t like his work, don’t support it. He’s still getting shows, movies and gigs left and right. Boycott it and see if he cares.

   • YEP. YOUR DEFINITELY GAY

   • +LadyMarmalade A. and what’s wrong with that?

5. Smart Chick

6. This will never change racism is at the core of American culture fact. Racists will teach their kids to be racist and the cycle will continue

7. Fire him.

8. SOUNDS ABOUT WHITE

   • 😂😂😂

   • 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

9. I believe it was an honest mistake, l truly do.

   • Yeah I feel the same way . It was just a tongue twister . It’s getting to the point where even mistakes are costing people and their families their jobs and day to day life facing Criticism everywhere .

   • +Nathan Buchanan Censorship at it’s best.🤐🤐🤐

10. The man would not be dumb enough to risk losing his job. So I dont believe he would put his family at risk to do this on purpose.. It had to be an accidental slip of the tongue twist.. And if indeed it was a tongue twist type of situation then it is sad that he was fired over an accident.. I know plenty of racist shithead employers that are blatantly racists and should be fired and tar and feathered as well…

11. I honestly don’t think he meant to say what he did. It’s a slip of the tongue which we all have done. If he had a history of such comments I might think otherwise but from all accounts he doesn’t.

12. White Privilege

    • What is that? please explain..

13. A lot of black people need rehabilitation then

    • Matty K help n don’t be a problem

    • Oh yeah, all black people think about is race 24/7.

    • Starting with every rapper that ever existed

14. Fire him you’re just an aunt sally

    • Maybe you should show a little more respect to the daughter of arguably the most important figure in American history.

    • Steven Stotts no thank you

15. Wondering if she feels the same way about domestic abuse

    • jerrell ford Huh?

    • Dude 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ domestic abuse and making a mistake while speaking not any where near the same level. Shame on you. Go back to bed educate yourself because you obviously don’t understand real issues.

    • +Lucero Zavala what Im saying is he should lose everything for disrespecting mlk I’m black and I don’t buy for a second it was a mistake it’s like saying coon Elizabeth

16. I’m about to start calling every white person I see a cracker or peckerwood and just let me get some rehabilitation for it! You are your fathers child!

    • Bodiene 32 so going around calling people names is right stfu

    • Bodiene 32 I disagree, I don’t think people are defined by their bloodlines, sure, the way people are raised has an enormous impact on their behavior, but I Believe that it is a sign of a truly intelligent person to, despite the way you were raised, decide on your behavior and decide what is right for you to do and say.

    • Na no Rehabilitation you will get a record contract to rap

17. I don’t believe it was a mistake, he’s been calling Dr MLK Day Coon Day , it was in his mind for years he just bought it into existence 💯

    • Yeah you wouldn’t risk losing your job to say 1 racial slur

    • Schatez Lady Oh get a grip

    • Brad Robb stfu

18. Ilove u sister I wish I can meet u I’m from Baltimore

19. It was totally a mistake lol poor guy I feel bad for him. I don’t think he did it intentionally. But her point on implicit bias was notable, implicit bias as a topic is very interesting how we do things we don’t even realize we are doing.
