Bronx politicians are ripping Gov. Kathy Hochul after she asserted that some black children in the borough don’t know what the word “computer” means.Hochul, speaking at an on-stage forum in California Monday, stuck her foot in her mouth while trying to explain how she wants to create a diverse workforce in new areas like artificial intelligence.

“Right now we have, you know, young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don’t even know what the word ‘computer’ is,” Gov. Kathy Hochul blabbered into a microphone Monday.
***snip***
I misspoke and I regret it,” Hochul later told the Post in a statement. “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.

Yep, exactly. And that was when the KKK was giant and ran the democrat party.

But despite idiots like Hochul, they keep insisting that the racists all switched to the GOP. And idiots like she and Biden are common. They keep popping up.

Every black child knows exactly what a computer is.

Every black child knows how to use a computer and every black child does so on a daily basis.

Most every black child actually owns their very own computer. That computer is more powerful than the Cray Computer network designed the nuclear weapons used for the Cold War.

That computer is called a “smart phone”

Hochul is an idiot.

You get on a public bus. Smart phones are everywhere. Does this Governor not realize the computer in those phones?

Ironically, Albany is on the west bank of the Hudson River. Never mind the former Miss Kathleen Courtney having been born in Buffalo. But she certainly acts like she comes from either Manhattan Island or Long Island . . .

Yeah and apparently black adults don’t know what ID is so therefore we can’t have voter ID, but don’t worry, that’s not racist as well.

Again. Actually she just slipped and said something that was true by simply pointing out the obvious then realized that she sounded like a Republican.

Correct.

NY Gov. said, “don’t know what the word ‘computer’ means.”

She did not say, “don’t know what a ‘computer’ is.”

Quite likely.

And Deep State doesn’t care.

The people hiding behind the POTATUS are quite likely racist to the core. And are happy to let stooges like Hochul and the POTATUS take the flack for it.

In a Democrat’s world speaking the truth can always get you into trouble.

Even if true, what does that say about the sad state of education in the Bronx? Why are there young black kids in the Bronx who don't know what the word "computer" is to begin with, Governor?

Throughout history, Democrats have never been too keen on educating black people anyways. Remember how they used to outlaw it?
