Oklahoma City’s KOCO-TV morning anchor Alex Housden tearfully apologized to her co-anchor Jason Hackett after comparing him to a gorilla during a broadcast on Thursday, Aug. 22.
The tearful apology came on Friday – a day after Housden compared Hackett to a gorilla at the city zoo.
The incident occurred near the end of a segment about a gorilla at the Oklahoma City Zoo. Housden, who is white, turned to Hackett, who is Black, and said the animal, “Kind of looks like you.”
Hackett agreed with his co-anchor, saying, “He kind of does, actually, yeah.”
After a Facebook user uploaded the video clip, the comments lit up with users expressing their outrage and condemnation at Housden and at KOCO-TV for allowing an environment where anchors felt comfortable comparing their Black colleagues to gorillas. Many called the video clip “unbelievable.”
The next day (Friday, Aug. 23), Housden issued her tearful apology, saying her comment was “inconsiderate”.
She also apologized directly to the viewing public, saying, “It was inappropriate, and I hurt people. I want you to know I understand how much I hurt you out there and how much I hurt (Hackett).
“I want you all to know from the bottom of my heart I apologize for what I said. I know it was wrong, and I am so sorry.”
Housden said she would “never do anything on purpose to hurt Hackett.”
It’s difficult to tell from the grainy video if tears were actually flowing while she apologized.
Hackett graciously accepted her apology and added that while he laughed along with her gorilla joke, it really hurt his feelings.
“What she said yesterday was wrong,” Hackett said. “It cut deep for me, and it cut deep for a lot of you in the community.” He said the incident was a “teachable moment” to tell [racists] that “words matter.”
Some people are raised in environments where racial slurs are spoken daily. But Hackett said that’s no excuse.
“We’re becoming a more diverse country, and there’s no excuse. We have to understand the stereotypes. We have to understand each other’s backgrounds and the words that hurt, the words that cut deep,” Hackett said. “We have to find a way to replace those words with love and words of affirmation, as well.”
Hackett agreed with his co-anchor, saying, “He kind of does, actually, yeah.”

These black men know how not to anger white folks… and his goofy ass agreed. Lawd lawd lawd!!
He AGREED with her at the time. I swear y’all men are the weakest link
He agreed with the biatch? OMFG. https://media3.giphy.com/media/4WFgY4MWSl3OuNulnn/giphy-downsized-medium.gif
Smh. She should be fired.
I wonder if he dates/marries white women. What she said was completely unacceptable. But there is a reason she said it. Is he the weak black man that oogles over white woman? The viewers complained not him. Keep messing with those Beckys if ya wanna! Look at Kanye Kardashian aka Kimye.
Oh the fake white “waterless” tears *roll eyes* The true “her” slipped up and uttered what she believes. FOH!!
Fdb and this stupid negro

Need to be prepared for anything. When you can’t speak your piece like you want, in his case, just give them a hard look back. He didn’t have to say a word. Silence would have sealed her fate, but no he had to say something and her agree with her. Could have said it reminds me of you actually. These people are blatant and we can’t check everybody, but sometimes you have to answer a fool.
Why didn’t he check her?
And HE agreed with her??? Damn!
Why they always getting away with saying wild ish to the wrong people. I wouldn’t have accepted her apology and second, I would have never agreed ON AIR…I’m not sure what I would have said, or done, but I do know I WOULD NOT HAVE AGREED WITH THE CAVE BIATCH that I look like a gorilla….TF! The least I would have done was gave that demon bytch a mean wicked side look until we were off air and cussed her azz out! and the worst I would have done was punched the biatch dead in the throat…Scorpios don’t have a gray area…..
She apologized after it went viral which confirms she meant what she said.
Uncle Tom, he ain’t black enough….he probably has a white GF.
Lord, I can’t with white lady tears. I really can’t.
And NO those were not real tears coming from her Lama looking azz!
I am the type that I say what I mean and mean what I say. She meant that and thought it was a joke. Na b*tch.
These people are not stupid. They know WHO to try. She already knew she could say that, and he wouldn’t blink an eye. Trust and believe, some white people test you by saying little ish, and then like a child that you do not discipline, it escalates, and they get bolder until they have enough balls to say you look like a gorilla on national tv….that’s why I CHECK their behinds, AT THE DOOR! DO NOT LET ANYONE get away with saying “off color” (no pun intended) remarks because they just going to get bolder and bolder. White women LOVE to make little petty comments about our hair and act like they don’t know nothing about weaves and wigs. I quickly REMIND them that they were wearing weaves and wigs before us black women even thought about it….they just like to call that ish fancy names like “falls” etc.
I’d been all cross that desk.
Bobby’s so called https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7908ddeb7528635e5a687b44817cba83246470910da078277e80e6f9c08c9709.png wife posted this yesterday
If he don’t go LIVE !! !
Like that comment said…I still need to see him standing on his own 2 feet. FOH
He agreed with her. Many black males love racist white females. I’m not mad because he’s not mad anyway I don’t coddle black males he’s a man he could stand up for himself.
The “dry cry”. LOL. The soap opera cry that white women perfected when GOD told Eve to get her disrespectful, disobedient naked behind OUT his garden. LOLOLOL.
Because he’s a Tom and he agrees with her that’s why am not mad.

Yep, that’s the one!! Unbelievable that in 2019 people are still saying this shyte!! I wish one of them would try me!!! Tuh
How do we know he was crying on the inside? But he’s a whole grown man and he didn’t opened his mouth except to agree with her I’m not protesting for Tom IDGAF.
It’s like black female say they don’t like pink penis. While the black male love pink titties. This thread is going to be nothing but upset females.
Most black males are like that they take all sorts of bullshit from racist white females.
Or boyfriend.
She HAD to know that was NOT an okay thing to say. Had to. Also l been waiting for the right moment to use this.. and it has finally come. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/58d56ca2a55d52c92e72ff621be05369425c82531610e344b3a8c46872e5615f.jpg
Whatever. This fool.
O.T- Congrats to Cassie and Alex on their engagement!
I agree with you about weave but this is not the black woman fight. She specifically dissed a black male. He specifically agreed with her. Save your upset. He’s a bed buck.
Hackett graciously accepted her apology and added that while he laughed along with her gorilla joke, it really hurt his feelings.
I paraphrased…he still a BIATCH..
Why didn’t his sambo butt check her on the spot!??
Chicken massacre….LOL
THIS!! I have a look that is mean and I’m talking MEAN AF, that I reserve for moments like that. I would then slaughter him with my words and not a profanity would be uttered because I need my job and aint no cave demon gonna get me fired!!
Thank you for this!
That’s what uncle Toms do. There is nothing to be upset about he agreed that he looks like a gorilla. ??????
For what? He loved it. And it’s mainly black women up in here caping for a Tom. but not me
Because Sambos don’t check on the spot…he did what sambos do….Yesuh a Massuh…Is do looka like a gorrillaa…..
?????
Oh I agree with you he’s a bitch. And I’m also completely chill because this has nothing to do with black women.
Dude was secretly sliding her some good pipe then he stopped and she went all passive-aggressive on air.
He should have busted her with some video of the fugging and their role playing.
Ha,ha,ha!!!
I choked on my yogurt (and that shat has no sugar so it’s no bueno but necessary for my health!!”) Crine in my office!!
I’m capping but not for his azz…I’m capping because I need to cap on whyt biatch….
WOW
Is he St00pid??! WHY did he put his hand on that wyte lady’s leg??
She aint sorry! She’s sorry she got caught!
Has she been FIRED yet??!
??????????
smh?????
Thanks!
Sumthin sumthin jus aint rite…
I said the same thing…and he had it there for a long time….maybe they fukked before? and he has that gorrilla dyack? I’m a conspiracy theorist.
Why is it always black women upset at racists while the black male sit like a pretty princess is being protected by upset females like at this thread?
Let me tell you if that was a black woman agreeing with a white man that she’s a gorilla all the lurking black male would be up here calling her a bed wench.
Hey is just another conquered black male out here in California a lot of them act like that
Should’ve read her for filth instead of playing along. I know that he was taken by surprise, but that should have lasted every bit of two seconds!
I just said the same thing….he had his hand on a knee for 1 second too many
That bitch wouldn’t be able to breathe if I were him, blatant racism is what it is! I would scream and shout all up and down the sidewalk with signs until she is fired. Give him a settlement for emotional distress.
**blank stare**
It just makes black women look masculine.
Because there is no more black loyalty if that was a white male calling a black woman a gorilla and she agreed with him black males would be up here roasting her ass instead of being protective as black women do it’s a wrap our culture it’s gone.
After they stopped taping they prolly jumped behind the couch and got it on.
That apology looked so fake ?
What bothers me more than anything is that at first he agreed with her… And then all of a sudden after everybody else got mad, the next day it hurt his feelings… FOH!
This is my last comment at this thread. This thread proves that black American culture is trash. The males are toms. The women are upset and masculine capers.
This is not the black woman’s fight??
I don’t understand what you are saying exactly. Not trying to be funny, but are you using a translator app?
At any rate, I am not upset. Just stating facts. If that BLACK MALE hadn’t let her get away with saying other slick shat to HIM in the past, she would have known to keep her inner racist at the back of the closet. Carry on.
LOL
She knew what the hell she was saying. He wanted to keep his job.
i blame the idiot for agreeing with her that he looks like a gorilla….clear case of inferiority complex
These white women and their weaponized tears. Girl, kiss my entire black azz.
Ridiculous. He agreed with that mayo-hoe. He should have spoken up THEN to really phukk her up.
Exactly. He could have done it in a professional way, yet still made a point.
If I were that guy I would tell her first of all get yo gatdamn hands off me and for 2 I’mma phuc you up in the parking lot and lastly, bish I’m suing you.
This is that wyte peepos privilege shyt and they have become SUPER emboldened since the village idiot is a proponent of hatred and racism and has been telling them to go for it. Spew our hatred and racism towards anyone you come into contact with.
LOL
Well if thats how he feels about himself then wth do I need to email the corporate office on his behalf? If you agree with the white broad then continue to sit there and let her finish kicking you in the throat verbally. Don’t forget to smile for the camera Tom smdh
Let’s all line up and have her kiss all of our azzes like she going down the soul train line.
My ass would have been so damn dramatic and bust out crying on live tv when she said it.
“He wanted to keep his job.”
_______________________
THIS!!! Damned shame he had to be publically humiliated like that to do so.
Hahaaa ?????Perfect time! These yt ppl are crazy af. And I’d match them titty-for-tat!!! I would have been soooooooo appalled and embarrassed. I would have sued her and the station.
I humbly disagree…because if we didnt react, these cave demons would think ish is ok when it aint….regardless if that one house kneegro didn’t speak up for hisself….See the thing about community is that we don’t alienate one of our own when they fukk up…I.E. Ye, Jayz, this Sambo, etc…we correct they azz, straightened them out and warn them not to do it again. We’re suppose to do this…Harriet Tubman said it best,
“I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.”. We can’t have that defeatist attitude…we can’t give up….that’s exactly what they want us to do..lay down and roll over and pretend that racism isn’t real….We are NOT our ancestors!
Yerp. I’d have pulled a whitey on her.
As the “Caspers” think & say here (at least try to)- “It’s better to do or say something wrong THEN ask for forgiveness”. Miss Lily White & her bullshit!!!
And what’s up with the “Real Talk” dude in the upper right corner???
I just hollered at work! WHY are the balls sooo BIG?LMAOOOO!!!!!
For him to go along w/her (insult) & by further degrading & lessening himself was unbelievable. That bish needs to be fired. She’s only sorry b/c of the public outcry against what she did. I couldn’t work in that type of environment. He needs to start looking for another position if they don’t get rid of her.
The day something like this happens to me will be my day to shine. I will be bawling like there is no tomorrow, just gotta press send on my drafted HR letter. To stressed, depressed and traumatized to come into work.
Flat freaking line………………………
Cancel the wench!
“That bish needs to be fired”
_______________________
Fired like yesterday because had the tables been turned and he called her an ugly hoe on live TV security would have walked his azz out the building before the next commercial break.
Im convinced that all yt women sound like that when they apologize…the quiver in the voice, the eye contact thats stern but void, and dont forget the hand on knee thing to assure you that what they meant was misconstrued…Chile…I dont fall for yt woman’s tears anymore…I barely fall for children’s tears…
Exactly! Damn saving face!
Olaf from Sweden.
There’s a chicken massacre?
Why tf is he making excuses for her–ugh. They should both be fired tf.
Welp, there it is.
Right snot and all like Viola Davis lol hell I’m even experiencing back pain from all this stress lol
B/c he’s so used to ‘skinnin’ & grinnin’ w/those grey folks. As my step pops calls them.
Exactly.
With a CURRENT newspaper. Who knows when this was taken.
Had he’d been from Harlem, her asz wouldn’t been getting up off the floor.
See that couldn’t have been a black woman, a sister would have got her right then and there one way or the other (by words or hands). Our brothers stay getting disrespected by these cave dwellers and they much oblige by agreeing, laughing, and marrying them.
He out here sounding like Uncle Rukus…
https://media3.giphy.com/media/exOfVLEc1hjOg/giphy.gif
Would U quit with the peenuses? U were stuck on that yesterday too.
You stoopid!! Lmao!!!???
She felt comfortable saying that in front of you which tells me what you let her get away with behind closed doors. I expect them to show their ass so nothing new here. Fck em both
opening himself up for a sexual harassment suit. You know she will file one if she gets fired. Just dumb as hell
I think a big black one hurt him.
Okay, y’all got me curious with the Viola Davis snot comments today.
What did I miss?
The only thing that would have got busted was her dam nose! I just don’t see how ANYONE would think that saying something like that wouldn’t hurt someone’s feeling. If he would have called her ass a white ape then she would have burst out crying on tv.
I guarantee not one Mayonnaise tear left her eye! As soon as the cameraman said 3,2,1 she put on the typical fake white persons elevated voice and sniffles to pretend she was crying, as if the person she claims to be apologizing to doesn’t notice there are no tears, and for him to agree that he looked like a gorilla on camera was just abhorrent..only to say he was hurt the next day. He demonstrated that he is nothing more than a coon for corporate Amerikkka! I realize he was on camera and being professional , however there comes a time and a place that you don’t deal with these savages non-sense.
10 seconds in, I said shut up bih and turned it off.
You know; you are right. Wonder what was taught in his home.B/c this wouldn’t be acceptable coming from the household I was brought up in. Be it black male or female. We’re a proud people w/a rich heritage. There are things that you MUST handle no matter where, when, or how it comes at you. So he should’ve served her asz a word or two right on air. A lot of these younger generation black folks aren’t being taught their heritage & how to conduct themselves around these other triflin asz races. They’re being taught to assimilate, go along to get along, etc….that’s shyt isn’t flying w/mine. PeriodT.
???
I wonder what she would’ve done if he had just 1 ball and said, Oh really??
Or hair enhancements!
Llama, llam red pajama. ????
Something(s) inappropriate is going on with these two “co-worker/friends”.
I hope BOTH of them don’t end up losing their jobs due to Ethics violations.
We’ve yet to see what comes out in the wash…
lol nothing but Viola can cry on cue and her entire face is usually covered. Nose running and all
Kind of the opposite the cave beast up top
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a568e986166889e20def001aa8113e244c3183280ad35cbe456b33be696cfcab.jpg
If you don’t like what the F I say block me bish. I can tell most of y’all are single mothers used to bossing kids. I’m not your child.
I don’t date black males anymore I’m in California they are useless out here. I have no attraction to them anymore I’m good. I date like Kanye?? Got a spicy white.
Hell the bish was so comfortable saying it; and his immediate agreement of the blatantly racist insult tells me that she’s insulted him before, just not on air. It’s something she does & he goes along for the sake of his job. Or too scared to confront or go to HR.
That apology was as real as my wig.
she aint real.
https://media3.giphy.com/media/pylnfnnUH1vp628oCZ/giphy.gif
I wouldn’t dare say most black males. I know more than a few who would have pc checked that heaux.
Save those crocodile tears lady! Not surprised at all. That is how many speak about blacks very casually. Then, they slip and make a derogatory/racist remark in front of you and profusely apologize! Whatever.
I said what I said and I meant what I said. Most black males here in America would take that shit from a white female. They love the pink titties.
Your first sentence sis. “Need to be prepared for anything”. Being people of color -blacks & living in this society. You must be ready to open your mouth in defense of yourself. At all times. B/c they don’t expect to be checked. Especially not in this political climate.
Bet your mammy is sooo sorry for the day she used that turkey baster.
If she wanted 2 sex him she would not have said that. She would have been all up on that saying baby u so fine.
LOL. Oh, okay.
Both balls would have been out the door.
White women are the most insecure beings that I’ve ever encountered. They cannot stand beautiful, educated well dressed Black women in the workplace. They are fearful. It is their worst nightmare.
She’d have played it up so much her performance would have been Oscar worthy.
She thought because they were friends that gave her the ammunition to say what she wanted. Well guess what it’s a new day. Not today satan!
Or asked her why she has little fine white hair on her face
I was wondering the same.
perhaps I’m going soft but I kinda feel for him. You can’t side-eye EVERYTHING a white colleague/friend says. I could find a racist insult in every other word if I let myself go there. I could see yt girl saying that to a white colleague — maybe she really didn’t realize the horrible optics of saying it to a black man.
No bish I’m not using a translator app. Unlike the rest of you females running in here to protect and cape for a Tom I’m using common sense.
Black women look stupid as fuck at this thread defending a bedbuck Tom he loves pink peen or pink titties he’s not interested in black females.
He did touch her bare knee in return which I hope was extremely upsetting to their white viewing audience — as well as the black church ladies. ?
And you have the right to “your” opinion. And I have the right to disagree.
And Hands grabbing at everything!
I think so too because she is too comfortable
Wait Whet!? She said he looked like a gorilla….are you mad? This is what’s wrong with us now….Yes, yes you can. You can side eye a very blatant racist comment and you should. Sorry not sorry
You lost me at bish, but thank you for editing your post. I can understand it now. I am not with the shats today, so imma just block you instead of going back and forth. You the only one that is hot and bothered in this thread to the point you calling me out my name. Don’t nobody care about this sambo, that cryptkeeper white lady NOR your trolling behind.
See this is why I never mix business with pleasure. I go to work to do just that work. I ain’t got time to be playing with nobody! She was completely out of line for that and I probably would have had a gorilla reaction and smacked her ash!
Exactly! Go to work to work and not play, but some of those people in the workplace want to cross boundaries and get personal.
He should’ve slapped that ho and then apologized.
of course the black man agreed with his becky when she called him a gorilla. just like how a lot of black men love it when a ww calls them the N word during sex.
they always get too comfortable !! ?
they sure do
Then filed a lawsuit!
gorilla/ape/monkey are all widely known and used derogatory terms used to identify a black person so any person with a brain would know to say away from that word period.
so true. dealing with it right now. my whole life actually.
I don’t do that. I sit and eat lunch by myself. My coworkers are the type of chicks that say you can’t sit with us, jokingly. And I’m standing looking at them because they obviously can’t see that there aren’t 4 other tables in the damn lunchroom!
Same here. It is so exhausting.
yep. a lot of black men love it when their cave becky calls them the N word during sex.
I’m the same. I don’t follow others or go along just to get along. When you’re by yourself, mind your business and do your work they cannot stand it. It really bothers them and I like it that way!
Right! Work is not leisure and I dont do friends at work. I’m courteous but that’s it. Dont ask me about my home life and what I do with it. I do not blur them lines bc a mofo will hide in your bushes to spy and go tell if they thought it would help them get ahead.
A “bed buck”..?????..I’m totally done!
Nope, I don’t believe it because they always compare black people to animals, BYE BECKY ANN!
Bet SHE wouldn’t say THAT to a Black woman. Two days LATER they would STILL be scrapping her ass off the wall.
Too damn familiar!
Oh I had that happen to me. I was stalked on a job and had to resign. I don’t play those games. You show up at my door, we shoot first and ask questions later over here! My husband is not wrapped too tight. I don’t see why folk want to be in your business like that. Let’s get this money and go home. I’m not about that life!
(Giggles)
I agree with u both. She/he didn’t have to call u a bish… uncalled for.
I love pissing off my coworkers. They are a bunch of bullies. And I always say, somebody’s gonna unleash the dragon on they ashes one day and I’m going to stand my pretty behind there with popcorn. I ain’t saying shish!
And then I’d be in leave and sue DA FUUUCCCKK outta them…her too.
Or a cracker azz cracker pank toe. Smh.
UPVOTE! I’m the same way, I lay with that Glock like it’s my hubby. In our house, I’m the loose cannon, dont come around here w NO mess. Period. My sweety be like Jeez girl calm down! ? he know I’ll pop somethin real quick!
People got some nerve all up in your personal business, see, this is why I get the money and go straight home. They really dont wanna know who I am outside of work. Stalking you outside of work, I KNOW you wanted to give em the business. ???
The orginal Video where she said the gorrilla looked like him.
Come on bro, I hate seeing token brothers, I see it alot, just a for check.
https://youtu.be/c–YG9QTtxI
The thing is they bully in a pact, but never by themselves. It goes to show how much of a coward they are.
let me guess because she’s “not racist”, because “her best friend is Black” and “her boyfriend in college was Black”, her “best friend adopted an ‘African’ baby” and is “married to a Black man”.
You applied the technique well, YG.
..and when they do they always slip up!
oh boy..here we go. insert eye roll here.
He should have shown her just how much of a gorilla he is…by clotheslining her ass ???
He’s biting his lip at those fake tears
Yes they do. And I know my comments are pissing off the Mammys. Mammys love to defend black males like soldiers.
Notice most of the people here dissing her are black females. There are a number of black males at the Garden but they don’t come out to diss white females they let the masculine black females do that job.
BW look dumb and manly AF defending a bedbuck Tom.
Most black males want pink titties and they brainwashed black females not to want a pink penis but not me?????
Thank you!
right, because we all know once a white woman cries and becomes the victim she is telling the whole truth.
Again I know what I am saying is pissing off mammy’s but I don’t care.
Most black American males would die to have a blonde white female.
Even the white females are calling the cops on them white males kill them to this day for looking at white females. And not even adding police murders by white males.
That uncle Tom TV anchor bedbuck represents the average black male they will eat the white female shit for her pink titties.
Agreed…
Bitter biggums.
Ah, good ol’ hipster racists: they joyfully sneak diss you and then hide it under the guise of “You know I’m just joking” and then when put on blast…do what that dumb chick just did: crocodile tears
Chile. This is a WORD
He’s apparently open to shuckin and jivin
So???
That doesn’t take away the reality that that uncle Tom bed buck news anchor represents the average black male they love pink titties
And his further support of her fake tears is sad
I was being stalked while on the job. Our building is fairly large and I had a superior that had folks on her non payroll checking for me. I really didn’t care but things got worse.
I wonder if he had said a hyena kinda looks like her would she have agreed ?
I wonder if he was caught off guard though. Surprised like wait a minute did she just…while the cameras running lol.
Wow!! The fact that she thought to say some tasteless ass shit like this just goes to show wtf she thinks of her co-host! Like i would have called her out on air so professional about it as well to stop her in her tracks and let her know IMMEDIATELY that shit is inappropriate as hell! The fact that they let her laugh it off! Shows the environment that the office has! He should’ve said she look similar to the spit he was gonna spit at her dumb ass! White people so stupid and thoughtless.
She was not sorry for calling him a gorilla, because that’s what she meant..to her, he looked like the gorilla. She is sorry that she forgot to not be so comfortable with him while on the air. The tears, and “the reassuring” arm touching…to remind him that she is NOT that KIND of WHITE person, I’m the WHITE person you know…. It tells me that in his position, he has learned to accept her micro-aggression as “her humor”
Oh yes! Birds of a feather. Witches hunt like that and so will a wolve. These witches have no chill. They will test your gangsta on a daily. It took the grace of God to help me bridle my tongue and keep my hands to myself. These witches be so bothered that I’m unbothered by their slangs and backhanded compliments. Honey, I laugh at their stupid ashes! Stupid is as stupid does.
Sad part about their click is that, they don’t like each other!
Stop that fake crying and just tell US you are sorry, dam! Get on my nerves!
He’s used to it….hahahahahahahahaha
it was not a god look for her.
She was wrong but she did seem to feel comfortable stating that he looked like a gorilla. sad

Because of this statement…he gets no outrage or empathy from me….”Hackett agreed with his co-anchor, saying, “He kind of does, actually, yeah.”
Well those two certainly are touchy feely with each other. She’s running up & down his arm & he’s touching her knee.
Because of this statement…he gets no outrage or empathy from me….”Hackett agreed with his co-anchor, saying, “He kind of does, actually, yeah.”

? I am so sick of these muthafuckers!
I’m sorry that happened to you, that’s demeaning and ridiculous….clearly they were obsessed. Smh
Take that ANN up off of there??
He should’ve said it looked like her mother.
She wasn’t apologizing to him she was apologizing to Human Resources
sure would’ve!!!…lol
Especially the way things are now, she should have known better, she showed her true self!
I believe it. I was told by a coworker that supervisors had people stalking coworkers. What time they come in? When do they leave and so. It’s a mess.
LOL
Coworkers and supervisors got mad at me because I don’t provide personal information. It’s work and your not my friends. What don’t they understand?
That’s always the lines from a White person.
So much here. She looks like an ugly man. Her tears are non-existent. His black hand lingering on her white bony knee… If she lets him smash tonight, his simple azz will really forgive her. If he were my corny azz man, son, brother, uncle, homeboy I’d tell him he’s an idiot for even agreeing with her when she made that comment. He brought in on himself. Big dummy.
Well damn.
A white woman can try and play you TO YOUR FACE and you have nothing to say but to agree with her.
A black woman will say much less and we get dragged from the rooter to the tooter.
White women must have that abracadabra p*ssy. And even still, this coon ass nigga will STILL want him a Becky. Smh
HOLLERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
??
“Mammys ”
Figured you’d copy, troll?
Willy Wonka agreed with Becky Sue, so nothing to see here. #Nextcase
You got it Renee, anything for you! lol lol
I don’t either. I’m like a vault only one other person has the code to get in. I don’t play that business pleasure game. I helped my husband out of a situation like that. People that worked for him were his “friends”. It hurt him when he found out they were really his frenemies!
I don’t know what black man/men hurt you, but I really hope that you find healing and your views change, because not all black men are Coons like this anchor. Peace and Healing be upon you.
a lot of them practice witchcraft.
I wish it was just that for me. I was being stalked on the cameras too. I couldn’t go to the restroom without being followed.
and then you have to check ’em. I do.
Yes! It was scary but I wasn’t scared. I just knew they wanted to jump me. Witches never fight fair.
Lol lol, Single Gal clean out your desk

Oh please shut up??
I was raised with rap and like they say about black women I don’t give a fuck about most black males?????
Most black males love pink titties and eat the white women shit you know that’s true so you better go talk to them leave me the F alone OK
YES!!!!!
LOL
What it is is those black males want to get closer to white males that’s why they eat the white female shit.
And yeah black women we get dragged over nothing by black males and black females.
I think this comment thread is pathetic all the females caping. That Tom loved it. He thinks he looks like a gorilla. He agreed with her.
I’ve been saying up and down this thread most black males want pink titties??So many black females are blind to the game
The hipster racists and bedbucking uncle Tom creates swirl bastards.
Ughhhh he agreed with her ?. Yet, black men wonder why, they are the least respected no matter where they are.
Wow she really let that slip out without a second thought until people raised hell.
PERFECT gif ????????
Despicable POS people. That goes to show they have mental issues. I had a guy follow me to the kitchen and when he said something I ignored him. They are insecure, jealous people. Simple as that. Hope you’re out of that situation for your mental state.
I try to be chill and be cool with everyone but maaaaaaaaaan I wish a bih would do some blatant disrespectful ish like that in front of me. She would definitely find out what the 5 fingers said to the face
Damn, poor Gorillas they get a bad rep and they actually are beautiful animals all because some white folks use them to describe blacks!! Now see these are the same white ppl that will argue you down that we were ALL ONCE MONKEYS that evolved into humans!! Lmao i just dont get it?Smh..this world…now say if they were at the farm and he seen a piglet and compared her to it…LMAOOOO his job wouldve been terminated..????
Instant old school roast time. She’s going to drop some real tears?
Couldnt be me
I would have told that bish better a gorilla than born of sibbling parents like her. They always trying the calm dignified black people, try the crazy ones like me who have nooooo problem cussing you tf out. ?
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.
This Oreo Cookie ass ni99a sounds foolish!! If his feelings were actually hurt, then why didn’t he let it be known right then and there?!? That would have been the last time she said anything to me. He’s a phuckin clown!!!!!
Look at this guy apologizing for her what a shame. I woulda smacked her. He talm bout “yeah it kinda does.” what a dumb fuck. I would have said “ya know what? What a coincidence I was thinking the exact same thing about you, that the gorilla looks like you Alex.” I mean in no way shape or form could it be considered a compliment to ANYONE by telling them they look like a gorilla. Man I would have slapped that bitch for that one at least verbally.
Right! Classic roast! “YO MAMA!!!!, YO MAMA’S MAMA!” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Same here. Just cuz you blab all your biz and I gives up NADA in the workplace. Chile bye.
Do you know what “caping” means? If you nodded yes, please explain, in detail what the females would be “caping” for if we’re mostly dogging HER and HIM for the comment from HER and the acceptance from HIM.
I heard that too. They probably do. Because it ain’t no way a man can be this damn dumb. It’s like black men are clones when it comes to Beckys. Can’t think straight or clearly, can’t process information quickly enough to have a come back for that ass. Not all of them are like this though. Most love black women and prefer them.
But for some reason, they like showcasing these types of coons to the world.
And this coon agreed like a dum a$$ wow. Then he says after the fact that it hurt. UGH if he can’t speak up for himself then he couldn’t protect a blk family anyway so have a go at it Becky’s…or Becks
Yes! It took a lot of prayer for me to keep my sanity. It was ridiculous!
That’s one apology I couldnt accept.
I had my father,and grandfather both military leaders and later government and corporate leaders. Strong black men dont get down like this. Becoming the office token black and the butt of the racial jokes to keep a corporate job. Learning to laugh it off and pretend your not offended. Accepting being emasqulated.
Listen I know decades ago black men had to accept being called boy to feed the family, we have had decades of that. We can NOT continue to be door mats for a good job. Stand up young King!!!
?
Girrlll… hell nawl! Nail polish ?? would be all up in that pancake ass. Expeditiously ?
Sorry to say it’s still going on
He got to pay mortgage
But they are not strangers. I believe them when they say they are friends. She doesn’t actually think he looks like a gorilla. In fact, she probably wants to get smashed — or has been — by him. I think he was shamed into taking offense to her comment. I understand why people are offended though.
????
I would have cussed her pale face azz out. Stop shucking and jivin and tell her she smells like a wet dog, has lice, and skin cancer. “Kinda looks like you?” “How so bish?” But no his coon azz gone say “Yeah it kinda does” Both of us would have been apologizing (apololying) the next day.
Yeah , no. The way my temperament is set up. Me and Raisinann would’ve been fighting. Right there live on TV. Fck a job. I’ll show you a gorilla bish.
Come on now…this little fella is kind-a cute…!

Well, here’s a white boxing champion calling himself a gorilla if it makes anyone feel better…!

Lmaooooo your entire comment!
Yep. And he need his ass kicked too for going along to get along.
I learned to cry too. Bih if you think you about to get white girl sympathy..I’m crying too ho£.
Listen, I have seen so many Popeyes employees getting their asses handed to them because they didn’t have enough chicken sandwiches to feed the masses.??

Exactly, should have done the dozens with her: Said, no looks like your Pops!
are you being serious right now?
Oh please. I bet this ninja is still messing with white women so who cares about his feelings.
Where at, in the bedroom? You know that coon loved every bit of it.
He is a coon and has one just like her at more, more than likely.
I wish she would have told me that on live T.V…..Boy….SMH….And she laughing & $h*t I would have said, “I be back from the commercial break” …….Hi I’m back from commercial and Becky is gone for the rest of the day…….As of right now….This is my DAMN morning show…..Waking up to Me ERRRYDAY now…..LOL…And she would have NOT LAID HER HAND ON ME>….That’s a NO NO!!!
LOL!!
He doesn’t look like a gorilla to me. He kinda looks like me peanut. I believe she said he looks like a gorilla cause he’s black. Now if he had a weird hairdo I would’ve given her the benefit of a doubt. But as it stands she is an ugly, weathered, bad nosejob, white woman who looks for flaws in people cause she is ugly. She stays skinny cause that’s all she’s got.
He looks more like a gorilla than that black guy. You proved nothing.
He handled this well. He made her look small. She is ugly and we can all tell she is insecure.
Edit to add, people aren’t being fair to him. He couldn’t hit that women and calling her seabiscut would’ve made him look like a gorilla. She put him in a bad spot.
By not feeding into it he made her look stupid.
The network probably asked him to. She is ugly, this could be the end of her career.
Then when you call them out you look like a bully. Those type of hipsters are to be avoided.
Sick cracker bitch.
It cut deep for him?! What da hell?! He agreed to what she said…
Lmfao! His coon ass AGREED with her. His thirsty black ass probably thought if he went along with it, she’d give him some of that same pussy her pet German shepherd humps on at night. She MEANT what she said. Don’t feel bad for either one of these idiots. Monique said most black men are weak. I don’t agree with her on a lot of things, but she was spot on with what she said.
Yep. When I was teaching, I had a white boss (my principal) who was intimidated by me. Girl you have a husband, a daughter, a big ass house, and a $150K salary. Why IZ you mad ?! White women are very insecure, but leave it up to black men to hype their dog-hunching asses up. A white woman will never be better than me. IDGAF what kind of privilege they have due to their race.
Yep. I would have acted like a gorilla and mauled the bitch on live tv. The audacity
I was temporarily weakened when I read that lmao
Exactly ! I look down on black men like that.
Her Co-anchor is dumb AF!
Sis???
This tickled me?
Bihh ain’t eem criine
There is always fear of an angry black person. We cant get mad. Its how it is, but laughing and agreeing with her…..NOPE.
Fire Becky with the stringy hair?
Dayum, German Shepherd, for real??? ??? By the way, most black men today are lowkey weak (speaking as a Black man), she is correct in that.
However, she (as does most black females) neglected to mention and accept the fact that the very reason so many are weak is that they were raised by mindless black females!!
The worst kind of black man to have to deal with is one who was raised by and around a bunch of lackluster black females. This is fact..
Ha ha ha :). Ppl take these things too seriously. When I was a young woman, ppl would tell me I resembled a cat. Was I offended? Of course not!
black peoples treat each other the way white folks would like to treat us
Wonder why he didn’t stand up like a
gorilla. And started picking bugs out her fur
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b4337500f661322ae1a2f4e68c4bf2f93194d141387ea4c7e0e85e390781b698.gif r scalp
Blame the black woman for everything. What about their pappies? Because (like me), a lot of them had absent fathers. Now although my mother wasn’t mindless, she was not nurturing at all. In fact she was quite selfish and I can count on one hand how many times we’ve hugged. But I SURVIVED that situation. I didn’t allow my circumstances and environment to consume me. Stop making excuses.
He don’t look white to me
I didn’t see the original gorilla segment so I won’t comment on the apology, other than to say she seemed sincere & the black guy stared daggers into her.
Sometimes we say stuff without realizing until later we messed up big time. I can’t judge this lady without seeing the original clip.
Why the fuhk did he agree with her the first time? He should have spit in her eye. These white folks are allowing Trump to fuhk up their lives for real. Every time one of them gets fired for the foolishness they never get a prize from Trump yet they keep letting their souls glow for the world to see.
White folks have been talking about the coming of a race war for decades. They are the first starters. Black and brown folks should have been united but we stand across the street from each other with the whites between us telling one about the other. Sad America.
What do you mean we say stuff without realizing it? She KNEW EXACTLY what she was saying before, during and after she said it. She rehearsed it in her mind as the segment played out. She decided that her closing would be the best mark for her comment. She needs to be fired and the black man needs to sue and quietly accept a few million dollars. Stop giving these hoes a pass.
Being called a cat isn’t as racially or emotionally staining as being akind to a gorilla. Now perhaps they were sayng you looked like a pussy but cat was a more gentle way of insulting you. IDK. I’m just saying.
Yeah it’s crazy , but I think it was the spur of the moment type of shit . The issue is that she knew knows as a news and media person about the tone of shit like this. At the end of the day he made her look small and she will feel the backlash for a moment.
On a sod note she kinda looks like a blanco Doberman in the face
Let her get a job at the local zoo so she can learn the difference between humans and gorillas. Let’s not forget the identification of the Snowflake gorilla, aka white gorilla. https://media2.giphy.com/media/l2JhuKoyURKLNy6Iw/giphy.gif
I expect her office to be empty by Friday.
Take your misty eyed ass on away from the roses. We extinguish all weeds and you are definitely planted in fallowed ground. I’m upset that you believe stereotypical lies. I’m angry because you are stupid enough to speak the language of idiocy on Sandra’s blog.
?
she shouldnt have apologized. the black community never accepts it anyway. once its said, aint no going back. i would have let my distasteful/inappropriate joke be just that.
I proved everything and you proved my point as well. Black people don’t need to be so sensitive about the word “gorilla” as a white person can look similar to a gorilla too. This guy proves it…..!
so he could get carried off by cops?
well…he don’t think he’s black..so..carry on..
Since you asked…
“We” is an all encompassing word and I chose it to speak in generalities. If English is your first language & you have at least high school level reading comprehension you would have known this.
I did not see the original gorilla clip but I saw this one. After the woman made her apology, the black man gave her a pass. He made it a point to say they are friends and hang out together.
Also, there are some places where people are raised to think racist thoughts and comments are normal. I live in the American South but I can tell you this is not the only location that has people like this. There are racists of all ethnicities.
Finally, stop giving orders to internet strangers. You will never meet me in person. Even if you did I am under no obligation to follow any directive you give.
Have a nice day.
?????
I agree…At my old job (2012) we had an IT guy who’s dad ran a Porsche dealership in Jersey…he came to the Princeton office for a mtg. with a new Carrera and I got so many phone calls from people in that office asking me how could he afford it smh…did I mention we were both the only black people at my job at the time…Chile..
I’ve been saying this for years…I need to find a space to work where there is a good amount if righteousness and rachetness…Im sick of seeing them everyday…
I can’t believe that he agreed with her comparison. His mama probably watched the segment with outrage, and immediately called him to let his White folk lovin azz know that the broad made a racist comment. smh Now you know how your “best friend” really views you, silly man.
He is truly coonvontay……. Who loves eating butter biscuits dripping with butter….. He needs to wear overalls without a shirt underneath….. With a piece of wheat in his mouth….. Humming the old spiritual “nobody knows the the troubles I seen”…..#Buckbreakingcoon…. ?
Right!
?
OK….. Simple ass coon…. Ugh ?
In that order….. ?
The black community accepts most everything YT says abd does.
Dude didn’t know how to respond after get asinine comment.
As for her croc tears, didn’t see one glow down her cheek. Total BS.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
He always does.
coonvontay?!! Lmao!
Yup…. And tells Becky how much he loves ? banana ?pudding ?….while trying to impress her by bending his wrist inward and making his fingers fold inward imitating the look of the primate’s hands… Running and jumping off furniture sounding like “Coon Kong’…. #coonkonglives… ??
here is what I don’t understand…gorillas have thin lips and straight hair….but they look like black people….pleeze…she needs to look in her OWN mirror.
Other than cussing that Hellman’s loving hefer out and loosing his job for being unprofessional, I think he handled the shit as well as to be expected on live damn TV. He was professional.
You know damn well saying someone looks like a cat is not the same as saying a black man looks like a damn gorilla…please GTFOH
Naw, Coonvontay would never give her the tongue lashing she needed… He would just continue to hit is own damn chest with his fist and let flies swarm around him without shooing them away…. ?
I think he wants that raw chicken colored SWS (suspected white supremacist) even more…. #longlivecoonvontay…. ?
Exactly.
Nare tear fell out her eyes.
https://media0.giphy.com/media/1bMVDo99tOnGo/giphy.gif
Thank you!
God bless you!
Surprised how nobody may have thought these two are more than friends. She feels very comfy constantly touching his “gorilla a$$” and then he reciprocates by touching her knee/leg? Hmmm. I’m not going for it. They’re f’in. She may call him that in bed.
Cracks me up how mad we are over this. I’m pissed too. It’s just funny cuz certain sh*t will unite us, not much,but sh*t like this does it.
I didn’t see any racial intent there. If Trump had said it, then I would agree with you.
Exactly
LMAO not you sis!
So, what all this tom going do is accept her apology. She won’t be fired and end up singing Kumbaya..
He appears to be a young journalist, fairly new to the anchor desk – and while this is no excuse, anchors must maintain composure in every situation while on air – period. Their job depends on it. They are the anchor of the news ship. It’s not easy for a black man to ascend to the news desk. He was astonished by the comment, and a producer was in his ear, counting down to the end of the show. That anchor isn’t only catching hell from the black community, other journalists are no doubt giving her a mouthful, and I’d be very surprised if she still has that job come September. My guess is she’s been suspended while mgmt. Figures out how to handle this situation. Sadly, there are a lot of ignorant journalists like her (tv news pays pennies and there’s always some young college grad willing to work for less than you make)… and they only care about being seen not their journalistic integrity. I applaud the young man for his on-air response, and because of that the jobs will roll in, especially if he’s talented at the desk. I loved being a journalist but so glad I gave up that business! I was cussing people out on the regular. It’s an intense environment amid a constant need to be first, which now means more than getting all the details right. Smh

Exactly. And I refuse to add coworkers as friends on social media. What I do outside of work is my personal business. I had a family emergency and sent and email to my boss and the rest of my team to tell them I would be taking the day off. All the responses asked what happens? I politely responded that it’s a private matter. Mind your damn business!
I know with that on a daily basis. I don’t hang with the group of ghetto black chicks so they talk about me like a dog. I just go on about my business. That makes them even angrier.
I’m also dealing with it on my job. Almost to the point of making me quit. This white woman is sooo threatened by me even though she’s a level higher than I am. I carry myself well, dress nice and my work ethic is nothing to be played with. That drives her crazy! She tell she other people that she’s nervous I’m going to take her job. Pathetic hoe!
I work in a department now where I am the only African American woman, amongst a sea of old white men. On top of that, my complexion is rich and chocolate. That really bothers them! There’s not one person who has ever made me feel welcome. I see the way they look at me and whenever I walk into the kitchen, everyone stops talking. The sad part about it, my boss is the leader of the pack. The tone of the department always starts at the top. Going to work everyday is a nightmare, but I stroll in, hold my head high and do my job effectively. I have to keep faith that my God is bigger than all of my problems! It’s just sad that in 2019, the blatant racism is still in full effect.
Remember you commented on my post. Sorry black men dog you, maybe you need to take a look in the mirror. You come off Miserable. Also if this is your argument to dislike black men “being raised on rap” then you are lost, if music can determine your opinion of whole race of men. Good Day.
thats how my lead here is. it’s so sad that they feel this way. it’s like all we’re trying to do is just go to work and go home and they are always so damn paranoid about everything with us. i just play their game and act passive agressive back towards them and it works. their days are numbered.
You totally sound like a single mother mammy. You single mother Mammys are male focused defend males and lack empathy for other women.
Get so upset when another black woman doesn’t date black males well that’s more scrubs for your deluded ass.
“Finally, stop giving orders to internet strangers.” And this was a what? Perhaps a directive? Stop speaking generally when we’re discussing a specific situation.
Sometimes, it’s worth it. LOL. Just a good loogie in the eye.
This is late, but my deddy (daddy) said that he saw a documentary, or read somewhere that being non-confrontational and being trained to be submissive to white people has actually ingrained in the dna or rna of the black man. Something about if you have trained your body / behavior for a long time or over generations to a certain behavior, that the behavior can integrate itself into cellular memory, thus modifying the helix to include it as part of the genetic make up. NOW, take this with a ROCK of salt, as I haven’t researched this myself.
Hmmm, leap year, trying to hit me with some research and intelligent topic. I see ya. Its an interesting topic. Ive seen peer reveiwed documented research and studies on how things become a habit – and how repitition creates permanent patterns ingrained in brain almost like highways.
DNA man, thats a tough one, lately alot of what we know about DNA is cloudy seems to be full of holes and ever evolving.
Ive seen it common that whites are treated better by us African Americans, in shopping situations, customer service situations, transporation services, wether it be plane seats, Amtrak, subway, taxis.
There is definately a relation to slavery and the after effects – years of just being black, living a black experience. Read” Black like me ” John Howard Griffen. Also read “Assata: An Autobiography” 1987. These books lay the ground work and open your mind to the underlying psychosis of how we have been treated and how it effects us.
I had two strong successful black men, who were leaders of men all of their life and later leaders of very Large Organizations so my morales and principles and values are strong.
What you doing up so late thinking so deep
I’ve read black like me, but BET, I’m getting ready to order that Assata book! I LOVE TO READ. I have told my twins since they were toddlers (yes toddlers), that for one to really become SMART, you must love to read! Intelligence level is a given, but being smart is a CHOICE. Wit that said, so I am up because basically I gave myself an “on call” schedule this week so I could stay ahead of the game. I write SOP”s for a billion dollar international Bio Medical company that have almost 200 plus plasma centers in the US. I write ALL the procedures for how these 200 centers run, right down to the vendors they choose for stuff like the janitorial company they use, to their computer systems. Well, it was 3 of us, now it’s 2, and I now basically am working around the clock to stay ahead, and I have a deadline to complete documents that center around updating processes that regulatory agencies that govern our company want to see. Regulatory agencies such as the FDA, CLIA, OSHA. I’ve probably had a total of 20 hours of sleep this week, but I will be caught up tomorrow. FINALLY!!!!! LOL. Let me go order this Assata book. LOL.
You need your rest baby girl. I take pride in my career and I have desire to be the best, out perform, be ahead of the game as well. I know its hard but your really harming your self. Sleep is as important as breathing. I took a sleep test in the service and received a good education and stern warning after falling asleep while driving on my way to a military exercise, spent 9 months in the hospital recovering from a massive amount of broken bones.Get your beauty rest baby girl. Talk to God in your Dreams.
And yes your love the Assata Book, it will make you cry but it will open your mind.
I understand most white people detest black skin.
WTF did I just watch? Our community …what is this.
