NY governor slammed for saying black children don't know what computers are
Girl you in trouble!
New York Governor Kathy Hochul is facing backlash for saying that black children in the Bronx don't know the word "computer". "Right now, we have young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don't even know what the word 'computer' is," she said. "They don't know these things." The Democrat made the comments while speaking to a technology panel in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
Ms Hochul later said that she misspoke and regrets it. She was at the Milken Institute Global Conference on Monday to discuss New York's artificial intelligence initiative. During a fireside chat, Ms Hochul spoke of a new AI consortium involving universities and state schools.
She said funds raised by the state would help build a supercomputer that will be accessible to researchers.
The governor then said that black children in the Bronx don't know what the word "computer" is.

She’s right. I saw it with my own eyes. There was a little Black girl in her back yard using an iPad and the neighbor lady asked what she was doing with the computer and, clear as day, the little girl said “What’s a computer?”
I swear—I heard it. I think it was even on TV!

I think any politician who says this should be immediately relieved of their duties and thrown in jail.
This was a prepared speech. She knew what she was saying. She should be charged with a hate crime.
Why couldn’t she just say, “There are children in New York State who are growing up without access to modern technology such as computers.”

What she said isn’t horrible in and of itself. But it’s a huge red flag 🚩 if any politician lacks the judgement in a public setting to not call out any particular race of people. It’s just not smart, bordering on dumb. I understand people get tripped up on their words or caught up in the moment. But it’s a Tell that she thinks her black constituents are lowest on the totem pole. And if you’re governor, why isn’t it better? If it’s on the tip of your tongue, why isn’t it your focus?

I don't get your point, R34. I graduated with high honors, and I've never been close to sniffing high elective office, or even high salaries.
MOST people don't graduate with honors, and seem to do pretty well in spite of it.

Precisely why she needs to be criticized. The Dems have gone out of their way to give the impression of catering to the black community. Her remarks are ridiculous and counter to the Dem message and efforts. It's the same as criticizing the Republicans for their stance on family values and rule of law.
