Well the question is was it a 'Freudian Slip' or did Fox-5's Washington D.C. reporter Holly Morris do it purposely or did she say "key innigural, inaugural spot"? I don't know but this is stirring up the African-Americans who are pulling out the race card large time on this one. I just hope she doesn't get fired over it.
I am sure it was an honest mistake. I doubt any professional reporter would say such a thing unless they were looking to get canned, ostracized and harrassed. I would worry more about about people not saying the n word but by all their actions meaning it.

People need to realizes that news casts are not rehearsed. Try reading a teleprompter. I teach chemistry and math and I misread words and have to correct myself regularly the first time through and I'm looking at a book not scrolling script.
You know what? If we met in downtown LA for coffee and conversation, it would never occur to me to think that "she is a black person".
I would enjoy your company as a human being, even if I do disagree with some political ideas that you express here.
So my question is - why do you feel the need to make a point that you are a black person? Why should that matter?
I don't make it a point that I am 1/4 Irish, 1/4 German, 1/4 English, and 1/4 Swedish (oops - I just did!) but I do state that I am 100% an American - as are you.
I don't understand why some people make such an issue about skin color instead of acknowledging others as people.
I have lived my entire life in diverse neighborhoods - and it was only until I came to this site that I realized that some people think that Jim Crow and the Civil Rights era are still going on.
Let's just be civil to each other.
Peace,
Harrier.
Lovely. Next time I'm in LA I'll call you and we can go for afternoon tea at the Langham.
But I am also patiently waiting for you to give this same lecture to the blatant bigots who regularly bash black people on this forum.
I hadn't even heard anything about this until the NON-BLACK OP created this thread to say how outraged black people are about it. The OP is trying to create a controversy where one does not exist.
These shills are just so darn obvious. These are the exact same folks who created tons of anti-Obama threads on C-D prior to the election only to disappear at midnight on Nov 6 after the results were in. Same shills different agenda.
NON-BLACK OP who has a habit of linking to David Duke (former Grand wizard of the KKK) articles. That kind of puts it all in perspective.

Please. There's about as much truth in this as there is in the tooth fairy. Yea...you thought black folks were just swell until you came to C-D, huh?
Please.

It'll never happen. Believe me. All that "I thought black people were wonderful til I came to C-D" stuff is a fraud.
