BLACK METEOROLOGIST FIRED AFTER RESPONDING TO RACIAL FACEBOOK COMMENT ABOUT HER ‘ETHNIC HAIR’
A black female meteorologist was fired from a Louisiana news station after she responded to a viewer’s Facebook comment about her “ethnic hair.”
Rhonda Lee, formerly of ABC affiliate KTBS in Shreveport, La., had also responded to another reader’s post that had pointed out that the winners of a station contest were all “people of color.”
The first viewer, identified as Emmitt Vascocu, wrote in an Oct. 1 post on KTBS’ Facebook page, “the black lady that does the news is a very nice lady.the onlt [sic] thing is she needs to wear a wig or grow some more hair. im [sic] not sure if she is a cancer patient.” Somewhat strangely, the post received a “like” from KTBS 3 News.

Like I said earlier, might be a good idea to adopt policy of giving BS the attention it deserves. Why did she, do we, continue to allow ourselves to be baited by ignorance and hate?
