not even an uncle. that's cousin tommy
Just here to say I'm Canadian, so I'm not part of either of your political parties, but that guy says 'coloured.' I have no fucking idea how anyone hears 'college' in there. There's no 'g' sound, it ends with a 'd' sound; I can see people are willing to bend over backward to change this, but it's quite clear.
People in Canada never make mistakes while speaking?

Our right-wing does when convenient. Perhaps we share that in common?
Got a clip?
Cleaner hyperlink if the above fails
edit: guy obviously says "colored", not "college", and the context is damning
I like how all Fox shows have a bimbo sitting between white dudes that talk.
Anything other than Twitter???
Thanks! Looks like the link you provided doesn't work (at least for me), but if the GET params are removed, it does:

I dislike Kilmeade as much as the next guy, but he very clearly said: "a COLLEGE sorority". There's not even any ambiguity about it.
Edit: To those downvoting me: just re-play the part where he says “sorority, a college sorority” a few times. You can very clearly hear him enunciating the “ge” sound in “college”. If you’re downvoting because you want him to have said “colored” because it’ll fit some narrative you want, you’re an idiot.
College
I don't know how anyone could have possibly heard that as college. To me he quite obviously says "co-ed" which also happens to make more sense if you read their about page:
The Trailblazers of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated Zeta Phi Beta Sorority would be remiss not to pay homage to the first women who believed in the need for a new and different type of Greek-lettered organization and acted upon that need. To these women, Zeta was more than an organization – it was a movement. This belief system reflected, at its core, the desire to provide true Service, embrace Scholarship, set a standard for Sisterly Love, and define the noble concept of Finer Womanhood. This belief has sustained and encouraged Zetas worldwide to hold fast to the ideals initiated and developed by its earliest members.
The Founders of Zeta were strong, principled coeds who possessed a great deal of modesty, strength of character, and pride in academic achievement. They are a worthy foundation upon which to base our illustrious Sorority.
To me he quite obviously says “co-ed”
Maybe, except there's no reason to say "co-ed sorority" since all sororities are co-ed by definition - I've never before heard anyone say "co-ed sorority". That's also what makes "college sorority" unlikely (sororities are almost always associated with college), leaving "colored sorority" as the most reasonable interpretation.
If it wasn't historically relevant, why would they use the word on their page? Coed is relevant because women used to segregated or not be eligible for higher education at all. He's taking a shot at women, not people of colour. He yearns for the times women "knew their place" (ugh, I feel gross just typing that) and didn't seek education or a career.
In any case, that clip sounds to me like "coloured" only a tiny bit more than it sounds like "college", which is to say, not much.
I heard the clip.
It sounds like “collidg”. I don’t think I can say he used the word “colored”, but I will say it seemed like he started to and then swallowed the last half of “college” because his linguistic buffer crashed.
Jews for Hitler vibes.
there's so much blatantly racist shit but yes let's focus on one word that could very well be a small mistake. Not typical of us lefties at all
"us lefties"
The other side says he's saying "college". I listened twice. It could be either.
What other kind of sorority is there that he would need to clarify it is a college sorority?
Don't buy their attempt at damage control.
Yeah, he wasn't trying to make a distinction between "college sororities" and "high school sororities," because the latter doesn't even exist.
He said "colored," and the shred of humanity that's buried in the base of his skull tried in vain to stop the word coming out as it passed his lips.
Haven't bought a thing, but my money's back in my wallet.
I'm not saying that he said college, but I'm also not saying that he didn't say college. If he did say college, he must have also bumped his mic or something because it sounds like he said something like "collid- sorority" which very much sounds like somebody who doesn't enunciate the R in "colored" or somebody who started but didn't finish the G sounds in college.
As for why he would need to clarify college sorority, the right has been demonizing college students since at least the Vietnam war protests. Educated people question authority, so they want fewer educated people to question them. That's why tuition has gone through the roof, it's why bankruptcy doesn't forgive student loans, it's why certain people have become proud of their ignorance, and it's why there's this opposition to student loan forgiveness with the framing of "taking your money to pay off their poor financial decisions". Specifying "college" while talking about sororities tickles the buzzword receptors in their viewers' zombie brains so that they can connect the dots to "thing bad because man said 'college'" because it's possible that they don't know that "sorority" already implies "college". Implicit subtleties are not their forte.
So now they're in a weird position which is admittedly pretty unimportant culture war stuff: did he say "colored" which is racist of him, or did he say "college" because he assumes that the viewers are so intellectually stunted that he has to spell out that they should be angry because buzzword. Because they don't give a shit about this, they'll handwave and say "so what" because they've already decided to support and defend who they support and defend. Fox News is their gospel, and they can only be shaken from supporting that gospel if their other gospels (trump, reagan, NRA, televangelism, etc) conflict or outright condemn it.
This won't move the needle, and some independents might think it's petty to put a lot of attention on this. It's probably best to move quickly, point to it and say "hmm, okay he either thinks you're racist or he thinks you're dumb. Both are bad. If you join us, people won't assume that you're racist or dumb. Prove it by voting for our smart, more equitable policies."
Yes. That's why he's being glared at.
Americans desperate to make it about race again.
'college."
Fraternities and Sororities are called frats and sorority only, as they are typically found only in higher education like college. Calling it a "college sorority" is dumb and not normal. That host isn't dumb. He clearly said colored.
Dunno what to tell ya... College is the word that came out of his mouth in that clip.
What do you mean again? These hateful mother fuckers never stopped making it about race.
