<v Speaker 1>OB and one of their anchors, Corey Stark.

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 3>Now, I'm gonna give this man donkey of the day

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 3>for what he did, Okay, because to be making this

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:41.480
<v Speaker 3>mistake in twenty twenty four is insanity. But we're gonna

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:43.480
<v Speaker 3>have to have a family discussion too, because I'm sick

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 3>of you hypocritical, contradicting ass colored folks not being consistent.

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 3>All Right, we have to be the change we want

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 3>to see in the world, and I'm gonna get to

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:50.840
<v Speaker 3>that in one second.

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.480
<v Speaker 3>K m o V has been forced to issue an apology.

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 3>Cory Stark has been forced to issue after issue an

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 3>apology after he said this.

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>American Dream of tonight, Color homeowners are sounding the alarm

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to undervalued to home appraisals. Play it

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:10.320
<v Speaker 2>one with time, right, American dream, but tonight colored homeowners

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:12.959
<v Speaker 2>are sounding the alarm when it comes to undervalued to

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 2>home appraisals.

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Corey said, tonight colored homeowners are sounding the alarm

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 3>when it comes to undervalued home appraisals, and the colors

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 3>lost their minds about it. Now, First of all, the

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.480
<v Speaker 3>fact that the word colored is distracting from the actual

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 3>point of the story Corey was trying to tell.

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:30.119
<v Speaker 1>It's hilarious to me, okay.

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:31.679
<v Speaker 3>And the story he was trying to tell is that

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 3>black people were sounding the alarm on undervalued home appraisals.

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 3>The impact of racial bias on home appraisals is something

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 3>that needs to be discussed and amplified, but folks aren't

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 3>talking about that right now because they're too busy being

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 3>upset over the use of the word colored. This is

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 3>us distracting us.

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 3>We complain about our issues not being spoken about in

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 3>the media, but when they are, we have found a

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 3>way to deflect to something else.

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Now, like I said, Kmov.

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 3>And Corey Stock are getting the biggest he haf because

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 3>this is just a stupid mistake to make in twenty

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 3>twenty four, all right, we have seen enough examples of

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 3>white people using the word colored to know this wasn't

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 3>going in Well, whoever put that and the prompter is

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 3>an idiot, Corey Stark repeating it is an idiot, all right.

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:10.519
<v Speaker 1>Corey said the words.

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 3>Should have never come out of his mouth, and he

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.399
<v Speaker 3>blamed it on a change to the teleprompter. He said

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 3>the phrase initially was home owners of color, but it

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 3>was later changed. Now the National Association of Black Journalists

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 3>said they were appalled and disappointed by its use. They

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 3>released the statement where they said colored is an offensive

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 3>term due to its ushage during segregation in the US

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.080
<v Speaker 3>and the Jim Crow era. It has fallen out of

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 3>use due to its negative connotation.

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Remember that line.

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 3>Okay, the term colored has fallen out of use due

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 3>to its negative connotation. The NABJ continued by saying, it

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 3>is upsetting that such a slur would make it to

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 3>the air. The term is outdated, offensive, in racist. I

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 3>need us to remember all of this language, all of

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 3>this rhetorical.

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:02:54.320 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 3>Thenjab said, Kmov are oh yeahab said they're concern that

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 3>Kmov that nobody in the newsroom caught this era and

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 3>they question their editorial process when it comes to cultural awareness. Yes,

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 3>because Saint Louis is forty threer percent black and the

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 3>city is no stranger to racial strife, we would hope

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 3>KMOV would be more sensitive to how it covers the

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 3>black community.

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I agree with all of that. Okay.

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 3>Other communities don't let play, don't let people play with

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.640
<v Speaker 3>them when it comes to racial slurs, and we shouldn't

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 3>let people play with us either.

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.919
<v Speaker 1>Now, Corey Stark did issue an apology.

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 3>He said, KMOV is meeting with community members is we

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:32.840
<v Speaker 3>describe to do better every day. The words should have

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 3>never come out of my mouth and it does not

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 3>reflect who I am or what first alert for represents.

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 3>End quote. Now this is where it gets a little

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 3>confusing for me. You know, I'm not the highest grade

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 3>weed in the dispensary, nor am I as strong as Avenger.

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 1>So bear with me.

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm always open to learning, So school me if I'm

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 3>wrong here. But John Bowman, who is the Saint Louis

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 3>County president for the National Association for the Advancement of

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Colored People Colored People, says he contacted KMOV right after

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 3>broadcast because the word colored is triggering for the black community.

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 3>The president for the nubacp of Saint Louis, the National

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 3>Association for the Advancement of Colored People says the word

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 3>colored is triggering for the black community. Nobody gonna say

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 3>nothing with me, strange. I've said this before. Okay, I've

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 3>said this before. But if the National Association of Black

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Journalists says colored is an offensive term due to its

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.039
<v Speaker 3>usage during segregation in the US and the Jim Crow era,

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.479
<v Speaker 3>and they said it's falling out of use due to

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:35.600
<v Speaker 3>its negative connotation, and they said it's outdated, offensive and racist.

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 3>With all that said, don't you think it's time for

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 3>the N double ACP to make a name change?

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Huh?

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely?

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 3>Imagine the president of the N DOUBLEACP in Saint Louis

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.679
<v Speaker 3>making a call to KMOV saying, hello, this is John

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 3>Bowman from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 3>and I think the word colored is triggering for the

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:54.600
<v Speaker 3>black community.

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>That sounds stupid.

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 4>I know.

0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes these crackers just want to be like nigga please

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:04.159
<v Speaker 3>all right. I agree with everything that NABJ said about

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.520
<v Speaker 3>the word color. I agree with what John Bowman said

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 3>about the word color, but I also think we look

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.479
<v Speaker 3>like double damn fool saying we are offended by this

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 3>word when the N.

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Double ACP is right there using the word.

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 3>So, how was Corey Stark or any other other supposed

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 3>to say the full name of the N DOUBLEACP the

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 3>National Association for the Advancement of See Word.

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 1>People, Like, what are we doing?

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 3>Okay, black people? Shouldn't we practice what we preach? I'm

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.840
<v Speaker 3>one of those people who believe whatever I demand from you,

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.159
<v Speaker 3>I much first demand to myself. So I'm gonna need

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 3>you colors to figure this out. Okay, at least before

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 3>the next Black History Month, all right, because when you

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 3>don't practice what you preach, all I can hear is hypocrisy.

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 3>Please let Chelsea Handle give kmov and Corey Stark the

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 3>biggest he hall.

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 5>That's crazy because I feel like trash because I was

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.760

<v Speaker 3>You're very very confused that guy calls me. Yeah, you

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:33.280
<v Speaker 3>calling me like color people. I'm offended by the word color,

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 3>but you're calling from the National National Association for the

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.279
<v Speaker 3>Advancement of Color People. Come on, y'all, come on, let's

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.840
<v Speaker 3>use some common sense here, guys, come on now and just.

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.359
<v Speaker 1>How people feel about the N word to though you

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 1>know that ain't no organizations with the N word and the.

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, well yeah, ain't you know how you know, how

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 3>can people be upset with no humanizations and playing it's

0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:58.480
<v Speaker 3>all all slang and slurts.

0:06:58.480 --> 0:06:59.920
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not I'm not saying they're wrong.

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm just staying that there between slang and slurs and

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 3>having an organization called the National Association for the Advancement

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 3>of Color People. I agree with everything that they said

0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 3>about the word, you know, being offensive due to its

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 3>usage during segregation in the US and the Jim Crow

0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 3>era and the NABJ said it's falling out of use

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 3>due to its negative connotation. They said it's outdated, offensive

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 3>and racist. If the president of the NAACPN, Saint Louis,

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 3>says the word is triggering and offensive and somebody needs

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 3>to change the name of the n double.

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 5>ACP, and I do feel like, okay, so I get

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 5>what you saying, envy, but I don't think that that's

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 5>a good metaphor, I mean a good you know what

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.360
<v Speaker 5>you mean? Yeah, exactly, but we'll say what I mean,

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 5>thank you A good example. I think like the football team,

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 5>like the Washington Redskins. Okay, they had to change that.

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 5>They are now the Washington Commanders, Right. I think that's

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 5>kind of like what that is. And I do agree

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 5>they had to change that.

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:51.960
<v Speaker 3>But there's no other group of people that use a

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.240
<v Speaker 3>slur as a term of endearment. Though you never see
