Welcome to the Nouveau Racism, now called “gaffes” and “I miss-spoke.”

 Riighhhttt. As my Grandma Blanche used to say “Everybody believe that, stand on your head.”

 So how long did it take Heather Childers, a FOX news host, to try to cover up the alleged gaffe on Tuesday about the University of Connecticut Huskies (UConn), the new NCAA basketball champions who have nothing to do with the NAACP, otherwise known as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People? [Note: UConn won the NCAA championship over the University of Kentucky by a score of 60-54.]

TonyTerzi totally on me. I’m a huge sports fan. Was excited about #UCONN‘s win, misspoke but immediately corrected it. Great tourney!

 Not very long.

Let’s talk about those “Oopsies, I just said something really racist-sounding. My bad,” misspeaks. They happen way too often for anyone to believe for a second that they are unintentional.

I wouldn’t be the one to imply that I know what was going on in her head, but if she’s a “huge sports fan,” as she says she is, then she knows danged well the difference between the NCAA and NAACP. I don’t care for sports in any way, shape, form or fashion, and I can tell you the difference between the NCAA and the NAACP.

So if it was intentional, what would possess her, beside the obvious? They may be in the minority, but the Huskies team does have more than one white guy on it. If it wasn’t intentional, like, a Freudian slip or something like that, then what’s this follow-up April 8 Tweet all about?

Wolf Blitzer Goof: Says Obama to Pick “NAACP” Championship Winner

If you screw up and apologize, you don’t go backing it up with some more racist isht like you are trying to make light of what you already did. This is not a joke, feather-head Heather. Ooops, I misspoke.

There seems to be an extraordinary amount of this mis-speaking since November of 2008.

Hillary Clinton first popularized the word ‘misspoke’ when she said “I remember landing under sniper fire [in Bosnia on March 25, 1996]. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”

Later on, caught in a cold lie after photos surfaced showing her in no such jeopardy in Bosnia on that date, she said, “I say a lot of things — millions of words a day — so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement.”

Meteorologist Mike Hernandez, of KABB FOX-29, this past January 2014, referred to the upcoming holiday meant to celebrate the life of the civil rights leader as “Martin Luther ‘coon’ Day.” Between that and the “blah” people that Rick Santorum was talking about in January of 2012, it appears that certain people’s heads are twisted on so backward that they don’t know if they are coming or going any more.

We’ll have a selection from the “Black President Blues” collection.

Brian Kilmeade, co-host of Fox & Friends, said in October of 2010, “There was a certain group of people that attacked us on 9/11. It wasn’t just one person, it was one religion. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.”

He tried to backtrack by trying to explain what he was trying to say, but once it’s out there, it’s out. Period. Saying things of this nature, and not retracting and correcting immediately, then trying to turn it around after the public reaction is on the table is too little, too late.

Bay Area Fox Affiliate KTVU, during a July 2013 noon broadcast, claimed that the pilots in charge of the Boeing 777 were Captain Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fuk, and Bang Ding Ow. Anchor Tori Campbell read these names out loud, apparently not aware that it was a racist joke that somehow made it on air. They lost all credibility when the “breaking news” was published on YouTube with the supposed names of the four pilots behind Asiana flight 214, the plane that crashed at San Francisco International Airport on July 6.

Anchor Anna Kooiman, on an October 7 episode of “Fox & Friends” said that ‘it didn’t seem fair’ that a World War II monument in Washington was closed, especially in the context of ‘other things’ funded. Kooiman, who didn’t name her source, said that President Barack Obama said that he would use his own money out of his personal pocket to keep a Muslim culture center open. All it did was prove, once again, that the Fox network has no ability whatsoever to discern between real news and a satire blog site. She did apologize, but ‘stupid is as stupid does’ because she never bothered to double- or triple-check that source before opening her piehole and reporting it. Fox & Friends apparently don’t have an issue with leveraging their dumb blonde species for kicks. Ooops, I misspoke. Again.

In August of 2012, Vice President Joe Biden, during a campaign event for re-election in Danville, Virginia, hit at Mitt Romney during his bid for the office of President. These were his words: “(Romney) is going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, unchain Wall Street … He is going to put y’all back in chains.” Y’all who? What chains?

Granted, by then Biden had already gotten about as much of a “black pass” from the African-American community as former President Bill Clinton had gotten from years 1990-2000, but what is said cannot be unsaid. But VEEP Joe “B/F/D” Biden is known for not exercising especially good judgment when it comes to his own colorful choices of words.

In November of 2013, former presidential candidate John McCain’s campaign gaffe, Sarah Palin said “There is another definition of slavery and that is being beholden to some kind of master that is not of your choosing. And, yes, the national debt will be like slavery when the note comes due.” Palin’s words were in response to her being asked why she was comparing the national debt to slavery. She then ‘lectured’ African-Americans, who were appalled by her attempt to change the definition of the word, by saying they misinterpreted her. There was nothing to misinterpret about the word S-L-A-V-E-R-Y. She said exactly what she meant.

Fox News host Martha MacCallum suggested in April of this year that the high incarceration rate among African-Americans and other minorities could be solved if those groups used less drugs. Speaking to President Obama’s voiced concern that Blacks are incarcerated at much higher rates than whites for the same pot laws, she said “The reason he believes that it should be legal, and that the experiment in Washington in Colorado is a good one is that he says that minorities are incarcerated at an unfair rate compared with non-minorities who are smoking pot,” she noted. “And that may be true in the numbers.”

In other words, MacCallum is suggesting in no uncertain terms that African-Americans and other minorities would be a lot better off if they simply stopped complaining about the institutionalized racism and accept it.

I mean, they shouldn’t be arrested for using marijuana since they are, after all, white.

She doesn’t need to bother with the apologies, though; because just like her constituents, Heather Mac Donald and Angela Corey, Ann Coulter and Michelle Bachmann, and all the other white males just like them, they mean exactly what they say, consequences be damned. OOopss, did I mis-speak again? Sorry…(not).

Even NFL Hall-of-Famer Terry Bradshaw “got in on the action,” and then denied it, as usual.

Bradshaw, describing Reggie Bush‘s play during a halftime highlights show on FOX NFL Sunday, said “Look at this Jimmy, like he was chasing that bucket of chicken that the wind was blowing the other day.”

Sources inside Fox flagged it as an “insider” joke, saying he was taking a shot at FOX analyst Jimmy Johnson, who is known for his love of fried chicken. Okaaayyyy, Terry. Tell yourself whatever you need to to absolve yourself of it, because yesterday, and as always, you have ZERO credibility with that cover-up.

Freudian slips, or “mis-speaks” are usually something that was already inside (or ‘insider’), and they are typically repeated so much or at least mulled over so much that they fall off some people’s lips even if they don’t intend it. “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the many intentional gaffes of FOX network’s resident racist, Bill O’Reilly, who did the usual and expected when he said these words on “The O’Reilly Factor”: “The reason Trayvon Martin died is because he looked a certain way, and it wasn’t based on skin color. If Trayvon Martin had been wearing a jacket like you are and a tie, Mr. West, this evening, I don’t think George Zimmerman would’ve had any problem. But he was wearing a hoodie, and he looked a certain way, and that way is how gangstas look. And therefore he got attention.”

There is no “misspoke” or mis-speaking with these folks; only the showing of their true colors.
