"Perfectly cast on the Los Angeles N*ggers"

Oh fuck.

That bitch better have Tourettes or she's fucking toast.

Holy shit! Who was the former newscaster about to go on a much needed vocation change?

Whoa!

OMG

She's toast no matter what. Is that what racists call the team? I mean how does something like that even slip out unless there are people who refer to the team as such? I can't even begin to imagine.

That seems unlikely

I agree, R5. That was a really bizarre mistake to make.

Ho Lee Fuk!

Sorry, I meant R6.

Oh. Didn’t realize it was a video

What da fu-u-u-u-u

She says “Los Angeles Nakers”

I’m going to throw up.

She mixed Lakers & Clippers and guess what she got???

Her name is Alison Morris, and she used to work for a Fox “News” affiliate.

It sounds like right after her says it, someone in the studio says "Oh my God", does anyone hear that?

R17. I think that was the guy taping the program at home.

^ no, boo, it was the old queen watching his tv.

Bull Vibes

Has anyone on MSNBC apologized yet? Or even acknowledged it yet?

She said “Nakers” by accident.

Intent matters, people.

Live, unscripted tv is harder than it looks.

Thanks for clarifying that, but it begs another question. Why the hell would the guy be taping this live with his phone? He didn't know what she was going to say. I could see him watching, hearing it, pausing and rewinding it on the DVR and then recording it. But then he wouldnt act all shocked and exclaim Oh My God since he had already heard it.

Sounds like Nakers to me.

R24 for clicks, baby! Drama=Clicks=Life

Welcome to 2020!

I don't like when Kanye says it about MJ "our n**'s dead." Or when JayZ raps about "n""" in Paris." Those are good songs but it's unnecessary.

If you have white skin and aren't singing a song and are factually incorrect on a live news report and it looks like a Fruedian slip, then you might look like a racist.

I will admit I was thinking "oh shit our n** dead", just like Kanye. I was thinking of it in his voice not in some country banjo fiddler voice.

R27, Kanye said Michael Jordan's dead?

Sounds like Nakers to me too. I think she was distracted by whatever the control room were shouting in her earpiece as it’s right before what sounds like an unplanned throw to a reporter.

No, she said the bad word.

The whole idea of the Freudian slip has been debunked, like a lot of Freud. Look it up.

Yup. She said it. It just slipped out.

She's toast.

She said Nakers. She really only misplaced the first letter, but it sounds way too much like n word to let her get away w/it.

Stop it, it was as clear & as loud as Wendy’s fart!

[quote] The whole idea of the Freudian slip has been debunked, like a lot of Freud. Look it up.

Where, hon?

I notice you keep pulling this shit all the time, Tony Woodard. You make huge claims you refuse to back up, and then demand that OTHER people look up your substantiation. That's illegitimate as an argumentative strategy.

[quote] Intent matters, people.

Not in 2020.

And she used the "ers" version not the acceptable "az" one.

[quote]—GBM, rolling my eyes

Roll them somewhere else. Why do you get to decide what’s ok or not?

If she really did accidentally pronounce it "Nakers" instead of "Lakers", but it sounded like the N-word, then she wins the award for the single unluckiest slip-up of all time (given that she was on TV discussing the death of a prominent black sportsman).

They better be sending that to the FBI crime lab right now or she should be helicoptering out of LA!

She did say nakers.

Wow! I listened to it several times. Sounded like the N-word to me.

[quote] She said Nakers. She really only misplaced the first letter, but it sounds way too much like n word to let her get away w/it.

Cancel culture. Acknowledge she didn’t actually say it, but cancel her anyway because “it’s close enough.”

SMH.

Alison speaks! (Or, rather, tweets.)

[quote]Earlier today, while reporting on the tragic news of Kobe Bryant’s passing, I unfortunately stuttered on air, combining the names of the Knicks and the Lakers to say “Nakers.” Please know I did not & would NEVER use a racist term. I apologize for the confusion this caused.

I believe it was an honest mistake.

Certainly no one is that stupid.

Holy Fuck - she’s toast

This bitch is sooooo white.

R37, thanks for pointing that out.

Jesus Christ. She's clearly saying "Nakers."

NAKERS & TIGERS & BEARS!

Oh MY!

“The Naker Nakes”

Someone’s gotta be nakin‘, Rufus.

Whatchu doin’?

She was probably imagining Kobe naked. Hence, the mixup.

Bitch will be fired

OMG, was that temporary Tourette's happening there?! Bitch is TOAST!

This had to have been an honest mistake. She is claiming on Twitter that she was going to say "Knicks" but tried to correct in the moment, jumbling her word into "Nakers." It sounds awful, but it's so egregious that I can't fathom someone actually having the gall to use a racial slur on live TV.

It doesn't matter if she really said Nakers, she's fucked. Not really sure I have sympathy either. The media were the people who gave the internet the power to end careers in the first place, so it seems like a fitting end for a journalist to bite the bullet at the hands of the cancel culture they helped create.

Stealthy deplorables always reveal themselves when they bemoan cancel culture

Racist Bitch.

[quote]It doesn't matter if she really said Nakers, she's fucked.

If she is, she shouldn't be. I listened to it and heard "Nakers."

Her hairstyle gives her away as a SJW. I hope the bitch gets fired.

R63 see r60

I'll just leave this here...

R62 It doesn't matter if she shouldn't be, justice is a thing of the past. Your fate is now in the hands of the angry mobs. Good luck.

I listened to it again because everyone says it sounds like 'nakers.'

No it does not. It is very clearly 'n-ggers.'

I don't know how you get 'ak' out of 'ig.' At the best it would be knickers but that is not a k sound it is a g.

Some people hear "Nakers" and others hear "n-ggers." This debate is shaping up to be the audio equivalent of the dress:

Jesus, America the Land of the Perpetually Offended.

This is a bullshit faux-offense. She misspoke and said Nakers.

To the people who think she said N-ggers, what's your logic behind that? Why would a news anchor so flippantly say the n-word on live tv, especially in this context? What sense does that make? This is MSNBC, not Fox News. Use your brain.

R67, you heard what you want to hear. I was actually skeptical of her explanation until I watched the video. She said "Nakers."

I feel like if this was on fox none of you would be defending her and saying nakers...

Oh, brother, R73. Get off your fucking high horse.

What in the fucking fuck?!

MSNBC, too.

I have no words. She needs to get DRAGGED out of the building; and MSNBC needs to be evaluated along with the hundreds of other “mainstream media news” channels that are owned by like 5 companies.

Tired of this bullshit.

Nakers makes no sense in context. I looked it up and a naker is a renaissance percussion instrument. If and that is a big if she actually said nakers then she caught herself mid n-word and in a panic changed the word.

Fire the bitch.

I could swear she said Laurel but my sister hears Yanny

She said n****r. I heard it.

I swear.

There was some mention of the Knicks from the person she was speaking to; hence, she meant to say Lakers after the person and said Nakers. R75 and R76 really need to get a grip.

R79 There is something wrong with you.

P.S. The simplest answer is USUALLY the most truthful.

Not always, but...

No she really says Nakers . You can hear the A sound clearly.

What I don't get though is how the Knicks figure into the explanation, why would she be thinking of the Knicks?

Nakers? No, she said ni****s. Y'all need to get your hearing aids fixed.

Why would she say the n-word on live television when talking about a recently dead celebrity? It makes no sense. C'mon, nobody is that stupid.

R84 A slip, dear.

That was explained, R82. You know what's wrong with you, R80? You're a moron.

The second consonant is not a k it's a g. She fucked up. It happens.

Somebody on MSNBC can't fuck up?

She does sound like she said a portmanteau of "n*ggers" and "Lakers" and that's not something you can really come back from, even if it was unintentional.

I agree with r84, why would she say something like that on live TV? And what happened to Kendis Gibson, who you all hate so much?

She was going to say the Knicks.

Of course you dumb fags don’t know sports. She was going to say the Knicks.

This is ridiculous. Cancel culture at its stupidest.

[quote] What I don't get though is how the Knicks figure into the explanation, why would she be thinking of the Knicks?

It’s basketball, dumbfuck.

Sorry, she didn't say Nakers. No way. To say otherwise is just laughable...

We’re talking about a rapist here. Get over it.

R89, Kendis was no doubt her speech coach.

You're laughable, R94.

Nakers, N******, N******, Nakers. Let’s call the whole thing off!

Oh, OUCH R97. That was SO not clever, not profound, not witty, not...just not.

I hope MSNBC stands by her. She did not, at all, say what she's being accused of saying.

Was the girl Kobe raped?

Keep fucking that chicken, R91.

Duh I know it's basketball, but Kobe never played for the Knicks nor are they from Los Angeles. No one says "Los Angeles Knicks" by accident or thinks anyone else would except a dumb clueless queen posting on DL who knows nothing about sports.

R101. Maybe. But was it RAPE rape?

What the fuck was wrong with her. Who was it that is now out of a job.

That's not much of a response either, R99. So let me say this: your utter confidence in what this person said is a misplaced one. But I'm sure you always believe you're right.

R103, this was explained. See R79.

The WAPO reporter, R105, who thought that this was the perfect time to retweet a 3 year old article about the rape allegations (from 2003) against Kobe.

[quote]you dumb fags

^^^ That's the same guy who started the threads about gays all being "degenerates" and one about gays all needing PReP because they're nasty. In lieu of kicking his fucking ass, maybe FF him?

When is it ever a good time to bring up one's rape allegations, R107?

Yeah, R108, fuck that cunt. F&F.

R91--F&F.

Well, considering that he was accused 17 years ago and that the woman dropped the charges, I would say that immediately after his and his daughter's death in a fiery crash is NOT the right time to bring up an ancient rape allegation, r109. At least wait a week.

Here ya go R106.

R113, since you're the only one who doesn't hear nakers, I think you may want to look into those hearing aids.

Keep them, R113. I'd say you need them.

R112, the point is he was made to apologize and his statement was, shall we say, a little wet. It's part of his history. Of course, that will be part of the story of his life.

I hear Nakers too, and agree r113 is hearing impaired/deluded

I'm the only one? HILARIOUS.

I guess if you can't hear, you probably can't read the replies on her twitter page...

I did not think it sounded like Nakers, but if you play the video at half-speed, it clearly is.

wokes really get outraged over the slightest anti blackness.. lthey are just looking to go off and be offended.

R117, people hear what they want. They want to be outraged, so they hear the N word even though it was clearly nakers. Same thing happened when a DC pol said the word "niggardly" in some event years ago. I agree that he should've known that people would hear something else, but he used it in context. Even after it was made clear that he didn't say the N word, there were those who said he should get fired just because it sounded like the N word.

Seeing racism in everything will eventually backfire. There is A LOT of racism out there, but not everyone is a racist. Eventually, it will be a "boy cried wolf" situation.

[quote] wokes really get outraged over the slightest anti blackness.

Oh for fuck's sake, if she had actually said "Los Angeles Niggers" that would be more than slight anti-blackness (not to mention that there is no legit reason to be "slightly anti" any entire group of people). I doubt it would go over too well here if a newscaster referred to some gay men's organization as the Los Angeles Faggots.

[quote]Years ago Kobe was suspended for calling a ref a fucking fag in a heated moment. He didn’t give a weak apology and yell “triggered!” He learned from it. Actually put in work. Worked with GLAAD. Called out his own fan for calling someone gay in his mentions. People can grow.

I love how people's response to the fact that he's a rapist is "now's not a good time". Yes, he sent a girl to the hospital with genital lacerations after a violent sexual assault, but let's wait until the time is right to call him out for it. I wonder if people would be saying "now's not a good time" if he hadn't played for the Lakers. Or if he was white, for that matter.

What the hell does PERFECTLY CAST mean??

Worse than Hitler

R37 here you go, you stupid cunt.
