N.Y. Gov. Kathy Hochul apologizes for saying Black children don’t know what ‘computer’ means

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she regrets saying that Black children ​who grow up in the Bronx don’t know what the word “computer” means.

“I misspoke and I regret it,” she said in a statement Monday.

“Of course, Black children in the Bronx know what computers are — the problem is that they too often lack access to the technology needed to get on track to high-paying jobs in emerging industries like AI,” she said. “That’s why I’ve been focused on increasing economic opportunity since Day One of my administration, and will continue that fight to ensure every New Yorker has a shot at a good-paying job.”

Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, Bronx Democrat, came to the governor’s defense.

“While the Governor’s words were inartful and hurtful, I don’t believe that is where her heart is,” he said. “I firmly believe she wants to see all of our students excel.”

The divide in this country—the real divide—is becoming clearer each day.

The real divide is between the globalist elite and regular people of all skin colors.

“Biden says ‘poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids...’”

Same playbook. Same Socialist Democrat POSs.

I think that any time the name “Hochul” is spoken, there should be a horse whinnying sound in the background right after it.

The enemy of American patriots is the elite globalist cabal, people like Hochul.

Black Americans are patriots same as white people.

Would she have come up to Michelle Obama at the discount store and asked her to reach the high shelf for her?
“You’re one of the taller stock girls.”

White Liberals Watch In Amazement As Black Man Acquires ID

HAMPTON FALLS, IA - White liberals gathered in the town of Hampton Falls were shocked and astonished as local black man, accountant, and father of three Michael Sparkton walked right into a DOT office and acquired an ID without any assistance from liberals whatsoever.
"It was amazing -- he was smart, clean, and articulate enough to walk right in and acquire the ID without consulting us white people at all," said anti-racist activist Chloe Ryder to reporters. "He walked right in and got the ID, no questions asked. We thought it would be way above his intelligence level because, well. You know what I'm saying, right? Yeah. You know."
Reporters said they did not know, and Ryder was forced to whisper, "because he's black and I don't think he's capable of doing it!"
At publishing time, the liberals were amazed to see he had walked up to a vending machine and purchased a bottle of water all by himself.

What the whole party believes, hence the call for photo IDs
rings a bell for them.

The democrats are everything they say they hate.
