weather man slips up on mlk

In: news from the web

18 Jan 2005

everytime someone says racism is dead, i cringe. especially when stuff like this happens:

A weekend television weatherman was fired after he made an on-air racial slur about Martin Luther King Jr., station officials said.

Rob Blair of KTNV-TV was delivering the extended forecast Saturday morning when he said: “For tomorrow, 60 degrees, Martin Luther Coon King Jr. Day, gonna see some temperatures in the mid-60s.”

i don’t think anything else even needs to be said.

braytek, mlk

    You say nothing else should be said, but I disagree. I don’t think that firing him is enough.

    I wish racism were illegal. I believe in free speech, right-to-religion and all that, however racism itself is morally incorrect. Having racial thoughts, and even gathering as a group to discuss it shouldn’t be illegal, but public displays such as this should be.

    I don’t know, perhaps I am way off the mark. Perhaps we should just get a group together and go beat the living piss outta this guy with a baseball bat. But then again, for some odd reason, that’s illegal.

    Nice site BTW, I’m subscribed via RSS, so I don’t comment often.
