The Dallas News reports that radio meteorologist Bob Goosmann of KRLD (1080 AM — surprise, it’s AM radio!), has resigned after diving, for no apparent reason, into the deep end of the racism pool:
He resigned two days later, though acknowledging that if he had not, he would have been fired, “and rightly so”. He did post back to the story saying, "I was angry that the DNC used these mothers to garner votes, and that was it."
"I used the word thugs in my post, but I thought a thug was just a violent person. The definition of thug does not mention any race. I will say I talked with an African American acquaintance and he told me that he feels like when he hears the word, it is in reference to an African American individual. I had NO IDEA."
I guess it’s progress when even in Texas, you can’t use bell whistles like “thug” any more without being immediately called out.
As is always the case with a site like DallasNews.com, the comments section has filled with bile and racism. I’m not going to bother to detail that here; you can write most of it yourself anyway. Of if you really want to go full-racism, you are welcome to visit The BLAZE and despair at the comments there.
