• 0:35
  Speaker 3: for what he did, Okay, because to be making this
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: mistake in twenty twenty four is insanity. But we're gonna
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: have to have a family discussion too, because I'm sick
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: of you hypocritical, contradicting ass colored folks not being consistent.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: All Right, we have to be the change we want
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: to see in the world, and I'm gonna get to
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: that in one second.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: K m o V has been forced to issue an apology.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Cory Stark has been forced to issue after issue an
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: apology after he said this.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: American Dream of tonight, Color homeowners are sounding the alarm
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: when it comes to undervalued to home appraisals. Play it
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: one with time, right, American dream, but tonight colored homeowners
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: are sounding the alarm when it comes to undervalued to
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: home appraisals.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, Corey said, tonight colored homeowners are sounding the alarm
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: when it comes to undervalued home appraisals, and the colors
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: lost their minds about it. Now, First of all, the
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: fact that the word colored is distracting from the actual
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: point of the story Corey was trying to tell.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: It's hilarious to me, okay.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: And the story he was trying to tell is that
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: black people were sounding the alarm on undervalued home appraisals.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: The impact of racial bias on home appraisals is something
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: that needs to be discussed and amplified, but folks aren't
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: talking about that right now because they're too busy being
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: upset over the use of the word colored. This is
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: us distracting us.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: We complain about our issues not being spoken about in
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: the media, but when they are, we have found a
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: way to deflect to something else.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Now, like I said, Kmov.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: And Corey Stock are getting the biggest he haf because
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: this is just a stupid mistake to make in twenty
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: twenty four, all right, we have seen enough examples of
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: white people using the word colored to know this wasn't
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: going in Well, whoever put that and the prompter is
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: an idiot, Corey Stark repeating it is an idiot, all right.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Corey said the words.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Should have never come out of his mouth, and he
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: blamed it on a change to the teleprompter. He said
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: the phrase initially was home owners of color, but it
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: was later changed. Now the National Association of Black Journalists
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: said they were appalled and disappointed by its use. They
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: released the statement where they said colored is an offensive
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: term due to its ushage during segregation in the US
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: and the Jim Crow era. It has fallen out of
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: use due to its negative connotation.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Remember that line.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, the term colored has fallen out of use due
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: to its negative connotation. The NABJ continued by saying, it
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: is upsetting that such a slur would make it to
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: the air. The term is outdated, offensive, in racist. I
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: need us to remember all of this language, all of
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: this rhetorical.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Thenjab said, Kmov are oh yeahab said they're concern that
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Kmov that nobody in the newsroom caught this era and
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: they question their editorial process when it comes to cultural awareness. Yes,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: because Saint Louis is forty threer percent black and the
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: city is no stranger to racial strife, we would hope
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: KMOV would be more sensitive to how it covers the
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: black community.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I agree with all of that. Okay.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Other communities don't let play, don't let people play with
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: them when it comes to racial slurs, and we shouldn't
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: let people play with us either.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Now, Corey Stark did issue an apology.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: He said, KMOV is meeting with community members is we
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: describe to do better every day. The words should have
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: never come out of my mouth and it does not
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: reflect who I am or what first alert for represents.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: End quote. Now this is where it gets a little
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: confusing for me. You know, I'm not the highest grade
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: weed in the dispensary, nor am I as strong as Avenger.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: So bear with me.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I'm always open to learning, So school me if I'm
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: wrong here. But John Bowman, who is the Saint Louis
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: County president for the National Association for the Advancement of
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Colored People Colored People, says he contacted KMOV right after
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: broadcast because the word colored is triggering for the black community.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: The president for the nubacp of Saint Louis, the National
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Association for the Advancement of Colored People says the word
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: colored is triggering for the black community. Nobody gonna say
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: nothing with me, strange. I've said this before. Okay, I've
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: said this before. But if the National Association of Black
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Journalists says colored is an offensive term due to its
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: usage during segregation in the US and the Jim Crow era,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: and they said it's falling out of use due to
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: its negative connotation, and they said it's outdated, offensive and racist.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: With all that said, don't you think it's time for
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: the N double ACP to make a name change?
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Absolutely?
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Imagine the president of the N DOUBLEACP in Saint Louis
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: making a call to KMOV saying, hello, this is John
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Bowman from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: and I think the word colored is triggering for the
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: black community.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: That sounds stupid.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Sometimes these crackers just want to be like nigga please
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: all right. I agree with everything that NABJ said about
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the word color. I agree with what John Bowman said
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: about the word color, but I also think we look
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: like double damn fool saying we are offended by this
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: word when the N.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Double ACP is right there using the word.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: So, how was Corey Stark or any other other supposed
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: to say the full name of the N DOUBLEACP the
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: National Association for the Advancement of See Word.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: People, Like, what are we doing?
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Okay, black people? Shouldn't we practice what we preach? I'm
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: one of those people who believe whatever I demand from you,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I much first demand to myself. So I'm gonna need
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: you colors to figure this out. Okay, at least before
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: the next Black History Month, all right, because when you
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: don't practice what you preach, all I can hear is hypocrisy.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Please let Chelsea Handle give kmov and Corey Stark the
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: biggest he hall.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Hee haw hee haw. That is way too much.
• 5:48

• 6:25
  Speaker 3: You're very very confused that guy calls me. Yeah, you
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: calling me like color people. I'm offended by the word color,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: but you're calling from the National National Association for the
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Advancement of Color People. Come on, y'all, come on, let's
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: use some common sense here, guys, come on now and just.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: How people feel about the N word to though you
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: know that ain't no organizations with the N word and the.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Okay, well yeah, ain't you know how you know, how
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: can people be upset with no humanizations and playing it's
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: all all slang and slurts.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: And I'm not I'm not saying they're wrong.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I'm just staying that there between slang and slurs and
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: having an organization called the National Association for the Advancement
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: of Color People. I agree with everything that they said
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: about the word, you know, being offensive due to its
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: usage during segregation in the US and the Jim Crow
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: era and the NABJ said it's falling out of use
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: due to its negative connotation. They said it's outdated, offensive
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: and racist. If the president of the NAACPN, Saint Louis,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: says the word is triggering and offensive and somebody needs
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: to change the name of the n double.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: ACP, and I do feel like, okay, so I get
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: what you saying, envy, but I don't think that that's
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: a good metaphor, I mean a good you know what
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: you mean? Yeah, exactly, but we'll say what I mean,
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: thank you A good example. I think like the football team,
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: like the Washington Redskins. Okay, they had to change that.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: They are now the Washington Commanders, Right. I think that's
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: kind of like what that is. And I do agree
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: they had to change that.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: But there's no other group of people that use a
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: slur as a term of endearment. Though you never see
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: a bunch of white people like what's like you don't
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: see that, do you? Times? Sometimes they be doing that's
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: slaying in slurs, real organization that has existed for years.
• 8:08
