Gov. Hochul regrets remark about Black kids in the Bronx

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.
Hochul, a Democrat, made the extemporaneous comment Monday while being interviewed at a large business conference in California to discuss expanding economic opportunities in artificial intelligence for low-income communities.

Well Karen, if black kids in the Bronx don't know what a computer is, why did you use $850 million of taxpayer money to build a new football stadium to profit your husband? Why didn't you give black kids in the Bronx $850 million to buy computers and build affordable housing?

Not just that - there is plenty of poverty in Buffalo. Why couldn't she reference Buffalo instead.

[@moonstrukk126]

Hallelujah bebeee...the audacity

[@moonstrukk126]

Because people in the city don't vote. The percentage has increased but city dwellers just don't participate. So she's pandering to a demographic she thinks is stupid and helpless. Think about that. Hochul believes that these people she's talking about are stupid​@@Amidat

Glad I saw this comment wow. I just hope ordinary people - that otherwise wouldn't want to get involved in politics - don't also set aside their morals in/for situations like this. I hope one day people aren't afraid to speak out on how all these hardcore 'anti-racists' really are, and have been the real racists this whole time. Seems to go back at least 150 years.

[@dredemetri6738]

I'm not surprised by her statement, not one bit. She spoke from the heart. The hearts of most. It doesn't matter if you are a Democrat or Republican, it's all the same. The mission statement of Gov't is the same. To make the poorest Caucasian , richest feel more superior than the richest or poorest African American. Hatred isn't going anywhere

[@Amidat]

i'm glad you know... not sure why others don't get it. it is foolish for any person of color to really trust politicians

[@evalottoscorp]

Her intentions were well understood. Her delivery sucked. Kathy Hocul is a Self-Unaware individual. She's not accustomed to branching out beyond her social environment and as a result, her mind is made up; preconceived on people and cultures She's seen on television or, the news etc. . . I'll even go on the limb to say that Kathy Hocul is not a racists. But she's a modern day Sarah Palin. . .If anything.

[@akiliarivera6467]

The truth, yeah ok.. one of the top high schools The Bronx High School of Science has remained a staple in the borough and city for those intelligent "black" kids, also children in the bronx just as in every other borough have tablets, iphones, androids, recording equipment, specifically since many of the new rappers are coming from this borough, yet she is speaking facts..lmaoo.. how about all schools should have a standard on the value they place on a child's education.

I’m surprised the New didn’t also say a while later people stole her belongings in her house, stole her car, with three landlord kicking her out of the house and people beating her up in the freaking streets!!!
