During Sunday’s broadcast of “CNN Newsroom,” correspondent Susan Candiotti — the reporter covering the recent shootings of five black men in Tulsa, Okla. — used a racial slur on live television.
Candiotti used the “n” word while reading aloud what one of the suspects in the shooting, 19-year-old Jacob England, wrote recently on his Facebook page.
“Now, this, according to relatives, has troubled him ever since and CNN has also discovered what police have,” Candiotti said. “There was a Facebook posting made just the other day, written by the suspect in this case, that police are examining.”

LANGUAGE WARNING. Yes, this is CNN on the air!
One has to wonder, what was Ms. Candiotti thinking?
Yes, she said the “N” word. Nevermind that she also dropped an F-Bomb.
Let's use logic which liberals don't believe in.
This isn't Bill Maher, Chris Rock, or a Rated R Film.
This is a mainstream cable news outlet being broadcast during the day. Imagine that some 1st grader heard this and repeated this at school. The kid would be expelled at DCFS would be crawling down the parent's chimney to snatch the child and arrest the parents as racists!!!
Don't believe this can happen? Just watch it will...
Hey, he has an excuse. Past injustices like slavery excuse racial anger and affirmative action, right? What happened to his dad should count.
:p
Blacks call each other that name all of the time.
"I am a good person. I care. I vote for the folks who like abortion. I don't know anyone who owns a gun. I'm going to win a Pulitizer some day."
How can I throw some gasline on this tinderbox and get a REALLY good story?
or maybe that someone was standing by on the bleeper?
That nothing will get the race war going faster than a white woman on the National news using the slur,'F-ing N-ger'?
She was probably stuned when that didn’t happen.
The rules don’t apply to liberals, and they KNOW it. This explains their confidence.
Secondly, the nature of media is changing —there are more and more and more sources of news. The LegacyMedia feels a need to compete with the net.
They probably did this KNOWING we’d pass around a link.
They think this will help their ratings.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No . . . comment.
Why the slang term describing blacks is not polite I have grave doubts it will ever go away.
While the slang term describing blacks is not polite I have grave doubts it will ever go away.
Ha! Was thinking the same thing.
Maybe it involved the f-word and the n-word.
“Blacks call each other that name all of the time.”
Self loathing epithets like this demonstrate that racism’s backyard is headquartered in the black community.
So, let me see if I follow you.
If a WHITE person reads a FaceBook posting, written by a Black person “exactly as written” - and says the word “Nigger” - that is wrong, racist and hurtful.
But if a BLACK person shots a call-out to all of his “Niggers”, or “Niggas” - that is ok, fine and nothing is wrong.
If a BLACK recording “artist” uses his excessive (some say “genius”) talents and sports a “Rap” filled with the word “Nigger”, “Niggas”, “Hos”, “Whitey”, “Cracker” and other such “street” talk, why he is simply “keeping it real”.
I despise double-standards. It’s either wrong for everyone, or it’s wrong for no one.
