Governor Nathan Deal is taking the heat for a poor choice of words while speaking on racism and prejudice in the State. The NY Daily News reported:
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal is under fire for using the term “colored people” when speaking publicly about the racial politics involved in a piece of proposed legislation in the state.
Speaking in front of a crowd of educators from the Technical College System of Georgia in Savannah, Ga., on Oct. 3, the Republican governor went off script and began discussing Amendment 1, a controversial referendum that would allow the state to take over “chronically failing public schools.”
Deal strongly supports the bill and went off script during his speech to lash out at its opponents, among whom includes the local NAACP chapter.
“The irony of some of the groups who are opposing doing something to help these minority children is beyond my logic. If you want to advance the state of colored people, start with their children,” Deal said, according to video recently obtained by Fox 5.
