New York governor regrets saying Black kids in the Bronx don't know what a computer is
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
There's no better example of why the dem party needs to get money out of primaries than NY "Dems".
If they could win elections as Republicans they'd be running as Republicans.
And honest candidates can't compete against millions of dollars spent in primaries.
The party doesn't care. Because all they care about is donations.
But we don't need all those corporate/dirty donations if we run candidates we actually like.
Dems like Hochul and Mayor Adams are the worst, truly representatives of modern conservativism within the party.
This is why if MAGA loses in November and if a GOP collapse from being broke and lacking support happens we'll probably see the Dems go back to being the Right/Conservatives while a new Left/Progressive party emerges, or at least that's what should happen in a functional adversarial democracy.
It's surprising to me how often high profile Democrats, who really should know better, make racially stereotyped comments like this.
Not surprising at all if you're familiar with the state. I've got family from NYC who are very staunch Democrats and extremely racist.
Remember that Donny from Queens was a staunch Democrat all through the 80s and 90s.
People (including me) easily forget how rural upstate NY can be.
…as for Donny, I’ll never have any deeply personal explanation, and I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.
It shouldn't be since disconnected rich twats abound, you're simply choosing your favorite flavor to support politically.
…or, in many cases, the least distasteful flavor.
Do yourself a favor and don't look at past comments about race made by Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden.
Is it surprising when they are racist? Yes, I called her a racist.
I can't believe someone that became governor because she was picked by Andrew Cuomo would turn out to be not a very good person.
17th try is the charm right NYC? Right?
Meanwhile there's literally an f'n school named the Bronx High School of Science, or better known around the city as Bronx Science, this school has literally produced Nobel prize winners, Neil Degrasse Tyson is one of the many notable alumni of Bronx Science:

Also noted are quite a few Politicians and many more:

I've known quite a few people that went to Bronx Science, obviously not all of them are famous people, but it's a highly regarded school within the borough.
Neil Degrassi Tyson
That's his Canadian brother
Autocorrect fails me again! 😂
But he definitely not like us, not like us, they not like us.
“Right now, we have 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," Hochul said while on stage at the Milken Institute Global Conference.
Woooow. These dumb Black kids in the Bronx, am I right? /s
What a fucking vile statement. I hope her ass gets primaried.
All you had to do is say “Kids in the Bronx are being deprived of life skills like computer science”
Like it’s not hard to just say people aren’t getting what they deserve. But if you grew up a certain way I guess that level of empathy is a stretch.
Turns out it was not even slightly difficult to discuss this without othering them.
Oh Kathy.
You know, I would love to hear her explanation of what a computer is.
What year is it? Lol
