White Mississippi Meteorologist Off Air After Saying ‘Fo Shizzle, My Nizzle’

Barbie Bassett, a news anchor for WLBT in Mississippi, is facing trouble after quoting a famous Snoop Dogg phrase on live TV. The controversial moment occurred earlier in March when Bassett was discussing Snoop’s latest business venture with her co-anchors, the Clarion Ledger reported.

Booted for quoting the one and only Snoop.

Yep. That's life in the modern age.

White folks, particularly white female meteorologists, can't jump.

The debate?

Saying , "Fo Shizzle my Nizzle".

Should it be forbidden or allowed by white female meteorologists?

They overreacted, but they probably feared backlash from rabid 'white savior' SJWs who feast on nothingburgers.

Rabid "savior SJWs" are only white?

There are, but it's often whites getting offended on other races' behalf, which is presumptuous and patronizing.

It shouldn’t be forbidden, but a private business can decide not to employ someone who says it.

I hope people do understand that n-word in that phrase is the n-word.

Not until you said so.

BTW, people have been fired for saying "niggardly",
which just mean stingy.
Would this be mistaken "snowflake by proxy"?

Read about that last week. Thought it was stupid then and still think its stupid now.

Yep. Its...
"for sure my n-word" or "for sure my friend"
Or something like that. Depends on where you look.

We have laws in Australia about wrongful dismissal.
Is it offensive to even say "negro" in the US?
How do you know it means "negro"?
Do you know what Snoop Dogg's phrase actually means?

Pretty terrible, for those of us who love language. Niggard (and the adjective niggardly) are perfectly good English words. But how would the ignorant actually know that?

We do in Canada, too. Companies have paid lots and lots of investors' money to those they've dismissed unjustly.

That's mostly because one side of the political spectrum is arming itself with hate for those who don't conform -- i.e. being white, Christian, heterosexual and fat.

Yes, we've imbeciles who get upset over it, even though it means the color black in Spanish. People looking to be offended won't consider context.

It's a tough one. The company should be able to hire and fire whomever they choose but the employer also does things (borrows money etc) on account of having paid employment and should expect to be sacked only for just reasons.

I do remember a city councilman getting into all sorts of trouble for using the word "niggardly" when discussing the city budget. Google search to the rescue.. And he "resigned". In other words he was told to resign or they would have to fire him. Wisely the city changed their mind and rehired him. That could have been a heck of a lawsuit.

People can't hire and fire whomever the choose though (at least, not once they are a decent sized concern).
Later today I have to attend a meeting as we may be forced to put one of my team on a performance plan, which would be the first step in a dismissal.
(That's performance related, not misconduct which I'm assuming is the claim here)

Short of making a position redundant, you can't just boot people. Last time I went through this process we offered an employee several months pay to go quickly rather than through an extended period of performance management.

Australia Post used to test the performance of people to bring them up to a required minimum standard, a speed test. That was part of the process of getting rid of people, but also was carried out on everyone when time allowed, and also helped to access a postman's round size, so that time benchmarks could be set for each person.
At least there was a process to get rid of people and it was not just something done on the whim of a boss who may not like a person, even if that could happen also.

Yup, that makes sense!
