You know what's the worst part about this is. I can see both sides, and that is what makes this difficult.
McDermott definitely should have used different words. There is no doubt about that, but I also agree with the comment "The pussification of America continues". The sensitivity is getting over the top. Bill Burr making jokes on SNL, to a slip of word on a news cast and now things like this.
To me this is not something to be fired over, especially now that he owned up to it. He realized he made the mistake and that is the important thing here. Learning from it!
Systemic Racism has got to stop. I also believe that this country needs to understand people make mistakes. Not only that this country needs to still be able to make fun of themselves. I know nothing McDermott said was funny, but anybody that cracks a joke get looked down upon.
So to the people that strongly believe he needs to fired... Where does the line end?
To the "Pussification of America" people... There has to be profession way to speak publically, and accountability to be had right?
