Racist kitten...

KSWO in Lawton is getting a lot of attention this week after firing one of their employees because of a brain teaser she did Monday morning during the news.
Mandy Bailey was a meteorologist over at KSWO. She was fired after doing a brain teaser that someone found offensive. The brain teaser was of the word THERE, with a noose hanging off the 'T'. If you think about it, the answer is 'Hang in There', since the noose is inside the word there. Someone called KSWO to complain about this.
I do not know if they found this insensitive to suicide or if they found it racist cause they interpreted the noose as lynching. Either way, KSWO agreed with that listener and fired Mandy for her brain teaser. Let me say my opinion on this, in no way do I believe Mandy did anything wrong. I don't think she meant anything by this brain teaser. She wasn't trying to be racist or make fun of being that commit suicide. I think it was a simple brain teaser that a viewer misinterpreted and saw something that wasn't there.
lol!
Racist kitten...
shouldn’t saying triggered, trigger you?
like the knights who say Ni...
Just ridiculous. Our society is now harmfully tainted with all this PC and triggering baloney. If people are that sensitive, buy a big bubble on Amazon and stay put in it!
If anyone has ever wondered what a maoist 60’s-like ‘great leap forward’, complete with ‘denouncements’, and public humiliations would look like right here, you now have your answer.

perfect description of today’s America
Lawton is really dark.
sad, but I get it, but I don’t. Thanx
“We are being conditioned to this. One person in 300 million is all it takes to get a person fired. Imagine the power of that weapon when unleashed next election.”
Hmmm, it would be nice to harness that kind of power.
I think we should pass a law outlawing all chit-chat and happy talk on the newscasts. Not just the weather but news and sports as well. Those sportscasters need to get SERIOUS - they are way too happy telling us all those scores.
Then I think we need to start going after radio DJs in a big way.
Same here. Looks like a nice girl. Doubt she meant a single thing by it. There used to be a card game called hangman. Guess that was racist too. Oh well. IDGAF what anyone thinks.
That used to lie solely with the power of the press but now social media is taking on the mantle of these decisions.
Apparently KSWO management supplied the book from which they selected each day’s brain teaser. Can you say lawsuit?
