Florida man apologizes after racial slurs streamed on Facebook

[marmar]

A Naval Academy Alumni Association Board of Trustees member has resigned from his position after an accidental Facebook Live video broadcast him and his wife making racist comments and using racial slurs while talking about the Black Lives Matter movement.

The Jacksonville Times-Union reported that 63-year-old Scott Bethmann and his wife, Nancy, were watching the news and discussing the Black Lives Matter movement.

According to the paper and the video shared on social media, they made racist comments and used slurs in a video that was accidentally streamed on Facebook Live.

Bethmann is heard using the N-word and complaining about not being able to speak his mind, saying, "The white m*****f*****s can't say anything. That's the point we're making here, Nancy." His wife is heard in the recording talking about "F****** Asians from China who love to steal all of our intellectual property." Bethmann's Facebook page has since been removed. .............(more)

Why even apologize when you go on a rant like this?

There is no way anyone talks like this and doesn’t mean it. Just own the fact that you are racist and move on.

3. White Privilege Backlash!

There’s been a lot of it lately. “I’m sorry I: spit on you, lied on you, framed you, denied you civil rights, killed you.” If only any of it was true. You’re sorry you got caught.

6. mmmm

I really hope POC don't think that all white folk talk like this in private; I certainly don't and neither do my family or friends.

4. Bull

This is how he talks in his own house with his own wife. The fact the accidentally recorded himself is amusing. But, Scott and Nancy, this is how you talk in your own house when you have no reason to believe anyone is listening.

Your apology is garbage. The pair of you are racists. Admit it or just STFU and accept the consequences.
