KGW has a policy of thoroughly screening all content for standards and accuracy before broadcast, but failed to uphold it, the station said.
A television station in Portland, Oregon, apologized Friday for inadvertently showing a racist image during a program aimed at highlighting positive stories.
KGW-TV displayed the image Thursday evening during “The Good Stuff,” which includes a “Throwback Thursday” segment sharing “cheesy, silly, or memorable” photos submitted by viewers.
“The image, seemingly from the 1950s, depicted children throwing balls towards a sign prominently displaying (a racial slur),” the station said Friday in a statement posted to its website. “We understand the profound hurt this image inflicted upon our viewers and staff, particularly members of our Black community. To those who were exposed to the image and were hurt by it, we offer our sincerest apologies.”

It’s always bad to show too much Fani.
Sounds like the TV station got trolled by whoever sent in the photo.
It really is time for people to grow up. All this is doing is erasing our past making everyone idiots about our culture.
Not saying to celebrate it but just stop hiding it. Take the power away from such things by not mystifying it.
Useless without the image
You can find it on Awful Announcing. It’s pretty bad and hard to understand how they missed it.
Deliberately done to keep the racial narrative in the news.
” the image”
Let’s try and guess ....
could it be a movie poster for TARZAN?
An add for OUR GANG?
it is a mystery ... does anyone know?
See post #7
o ya .... I was not expecting that ...
How that got through is just a total closter flock
I think we have had enough racial division, relations were better before oblam blam started stirring the pot... and I think it's ridicules to try and get rid of the history.
Live and learn ... but come on guys ...
somebody is really trying to fan the flames with this one.
I notice that the blood tribe(fbi) was prancing about in Nashville today too. .... ? Is something up?
Yep
Big deal. We’ve become a nation of snowflakes.
Idiots run TV stations. How about the time an Asian airliner crashed at San Francisco Int'l Airport, and KTVU-2 scooped everyone with the names of the flight crew. Something like this.
"Captain Sum Ting Wong, Captain Wee Tu Lowe, Ho Lee Fuk, and Bam Ding Ow"
Got past all the editors, and the female anchor announcing it.
...then we have FAR bigger problems (as in how far backwards we have gone).
Watch here:

“To those who were exposed to the image and were hurt by it,
Grow up, and quit whining!”
I remember White Only restaurants and fountains in Oregon.
Did they hit it?
They just misspelled the name of an African country.
If you asked a hundred woke youngsters to spell the name of that country probably half of them would get it wrong.
Lol.
