Democratic governor Kathy Hochul has had to issue an apology after she suggested that black children in New York don’t know what computers are.
Hochul was speaking Monday in California at the Milken Institute Global Conference regarding her $400 million Empire AI initiative that she claims is going to enable a more diverse workforce in tech.
The Democrat declared “Right now we have, you know, 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. And I want the world opened up to all of them,” she added.
Ooof that’s a tad racist, no?
This is just nauseatingly racist and condescending.

Thank god for the white liberals. What would black people do without them?

this should be a wake up call for every black person – this is how the left thinks about you and how they will use you for their political gains, by all means necessary.

After massive backlash, Hochul tried to walk back the remarks, stating “I misspoke and I regret it. Of course, Black children in the Bronx know what computers are.”
Too late racist.
Expect a few George Floyd statues to be commissioned in New York soon.
