Nicomi Stewart, a mother in Rochester, New York, is disgusted after an automated call sent to her phone from the citys school district mispronounced her daughters name as a racial slur.
Stewarts daughter is named Nicarri. Stewart told WHAM TV the message clearly began, This is Edison Career and Technology High School. Your daughter, N****r, has missed period one on
The call came after Nicarri missed a day of class at Edison Career and Technology High School.
The racially insensitive robocall came more than once so Stewart was able to record the message.
I was like, wow, am I really hearing you correctly, did the machine just say this? Stewart told WHAM TV. It was unbelievable. I was shocked. I was disgusted. I was upset.
Even stranger: Stewart said the robocalls correctly pronounced Nicarris name last year....

Yep - I live in Gautier “Go-shay” MS and my car tells me it’s “Goat-ee-ay”
Just spiffy - thanks for asking.
I’m offended my GPS mispronounces my street name.
If they would quit naming their children they cannot even pronounce themselves it would be easier for the child in years to ocme
Well, people in MS do not pronounce Kosciusko correctly...
Or “Watermelondrea”.
I think I would have been amused. Machines cant be racist. Not every offensive phrase or action is intentional and or full of malice. That said they do need to fix the problem.
Nicarri, is that the proper plural form? Or an adjective?
Blacks used to use regular names
Then they became mistaken they being animist descended where really Islamic descended
The Roots another lie showed up and the silly ill pronounced names started in earnest
When I grew up
Black men were not much differently named than whites
Except Leroy and Tyrone and Julius and Moses
Black women were frequently Hannah or Sally
My middle son is friends with a black doctors boy and hes a IV
hes upstairs asleep with two others here now
Jocks all
I think they played Madden all night
I need to roust them
I honestly dont care what folks want to be called
My grandson is Wolf and its grown on me
But it needs to spell fairly phonetically
Otherwise it might as well be Polish
True - my Polish heritage gives me a step up on the average, home-grown, Mississippian. Many visitors/transplants (like me) down here have trouble with Tchoutacabouffa too....
Kool, just had not seen any Posts from You lately. You’re Welcome. stay Safe.
Well sometimes my flight schedule keeps me busy but I try to keep up with things here since it’s my social network; I don’t do FB (I refuse to even say or write their name).
Who is FB😉
Which is why FB is dead to me and I won't even print or say their name.
OMG!!!
THAT IS: OFFENSIVE, SICK, RUDE, DISGUSTING, DISPICABLE, WRONG AND I’M NOW AT A LOSS FOR WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was screaming at her for doing that to him - that child will be traumatized for life over that. If I lived nearby I would have taken him to my home and let her fight CPS to get him back.
OK This is just funny
Maybe if you gave your children names that didn’t come with diction lessons...
Oh..I forgot we don’t do diction any more.
Remember the case a couple of years ago where people were dying from Ebola and the Americans involved all had some sort of weird or unconventional names while a patient from Liberia died and his name was Thomas Eric Duncan; born in Monrovia Liberia in 1969.
AND ‘they’ are the backward 3rd world nations....
