New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she regrets making an offhand remark that suggested Black children in the Bronx do not know what the word “computer” means
“Right now, we have young Black kids growing up in the Bronx who don’t even know what the word computer is. They don’t know, they don’t know these things," Hochul said while on stage at the Milken Institute Global Conference.
Woooow. These dumb Black kids in the Bronx, am I right? /s
What a fucking vile statement. I hope her ass gets primaried.

All you had to do is say “Kids in the Bronx are being deprived of life skills like computer science”
Like it’s not hard to just say people aren’t getting what they deserve. But if you grew up a certain way I guess that level of empathy is a stretch.
Turns out it was not even slightly difficult to discuss this without othering them.
