It’s amazing that young black kids in NYC don’t even know what computers are

This is one of many reasons why people can’t stand the progressive left. They are absolutely clueless to how racist they are.
Clueless.
Well Kathy, dems and progressives have run the city and state for 2 decades straight so who exactly is she trying to blame? She's another in a long list of race baiting idiots on the left. Bau
What a ridiculous statement. These kids haven’t been living with indigenous tribes in the remote Amazon. Of course they’re aware of computers and technology.
I know this will be a new concept for Republicans here, but she quickly APOLOGIZED for saying something this stupid. She made an idiotic comment, then apologized for it like an adult. Compare that to Noem, Trump or other Republicans when they eff up...which happens constantly. They throw more bullshit at the situation.
She walked back her statement, but it seems that not thinking before speaking is kind of her thing.
The governor on Monday evening expressed contrition over her word choice, saying that she “misspoke and I regret it,” adding that her focus was on increasing economic opportunity.
“Of course Black children in the Bronx know what computers are,” she said in a statement. “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 A.I.”
This is not the first time this year the governor’s rhetorical style has led to unwelcome attention. In February, Ms. Hochul referred to a hypothetical destruction of Canada to imply that Israel had a right to destroy Gaza in retaliation for the Oct. 7 attacks.
“If Canada someday ever attacked Buffalo, I’m sorry, my friends, there would be no Canada the next day,” she said then. She quickly apologized for her “poor choice of words,” and said she regretted her “inappropriate analogy.”
Her remark at the Milken conference, which was held at the stately Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, seemed consistent with her blunt, folksy style, which can occasionally veer into caricature.

How very dense of you. As usual.
The federal government gave tens of billions of dollars to the states during COVID so every student would have access to a computer for online learning.
What happened? Did New York gamble the money away?

Sounds like @Dr. Spaceman and the governor hang out in the same circles.
Several days ago spaceman assumed that a street peddler, who was never identified by race, was "black" or a "POC".

Like I said. The people on this board know what kind of person you are.
You don't even realize how badly you're convicting yourself here.
At no point was race discussed. You assumed the punk was "black" or a "POC". Those are your exact words.
You need implicit bias training.
Wasn't she advocating for them? Wasn't it like a "You think you have it bad, the poor kids in the Bronx don't even know what a computer IS!" type statement? Or was she saying it in a different manner?
Yes, they do know. The record is clear. You showed your prejudice and bias. The receipts are below.
Like I said...it would be a new concept to you...taking responsibility for one's actions and apologizing.
Why did she apologize?
When did it occur to her that it was an idiotic statement?
Is a racist statement OK as long as a person apologizes for it shortly after?
Ahhh so she suffers from implicit bias like Gary Dolphin... perhaps she needs some sensitivity classes?
You mean like Gary Dolphin giving the Maryland player a compliment? The mistakes of the past are bound to repeat if we don't learn from them!!!
I do it whenever I find it justified. If I make a mistake I own it. I pride myself in never having to apologize for saying black kids don’t know computers are.
This thread will go exactly how you think it will....
So it doesn't matter what she thinks and says, only that she apologizes afterwards. Got it.
Are you going to use the Gary Dolphin example for a third time? Currently on pins & needles waiting for it.
I'm sure she wasnt made aware of her obvious racism and told to do so, but Tom said it's cool that the racist apologized so it's all good now.
This thread would be 10 pages by now if Reynolds said this.
