White Privilege?

[*bfine32*]

Thought I would but this here instead of starting a shiny new thread:

Quote:A meteorologist at a Rochester, N.Y., news station was fired Monday after the city’s mayor and other viewers called for his dismissal for using what sounded like a racial slur during the broadcast.

While talking Friday about an ice rink at Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park, WHEC meteorologist Jeremy Kappell appeared to use a slur in the middle of King’s name. While the mayor wanted Kappell off the job, others argued that he had simply fumbled his words.

Does anyone actually think this guy's intention was to say Coon instead of King on the air?

But in this case his white privilege got him fired.
