Cleaner hyperlink if the above fails

edit: guy obviously says “colored”, not “college”, and the context is damning

I literally sat there while the video loaded going “college college college” because I know how some things can actually be ambiguous (I’m thinking of noise, not speech though) and you might hear the last word that was “close enough”, and I figured if I hear “colored” even after that, it’s bad.

And it’s bad

I genuinely can’t see how someone hears “college” from that.

To me it sounds like he tries to change it to college at the very end but he was definitely saying colored.

It sounded like “co-ed” to me.

Well the context was him talking about a sorority so it’s not really at all damning. I hate fox news as much as the next guy but it could easily be one or the other. If you listen to it while saying either word in your mind, they both slip right in.

I’m more frustrated by the fact he mentioned healthcare as if to imply she didn’t do enough? When have Republicans ever been pro-healthcare? It seems like blatant manipulation.

He was comparing events someone could have attended. He was minimizing the importance of the event that was attended.

He was further minimizing the importance of the event because it was a colored event. Then, he stated she should’ve distanced herself from the organization.

If you choose to be blind then you’ll do it alone. It’s not like MAGA or neolibs. There’s no bandwagon to provide psychological safety for failures most overcome in high school.

I’m saying that in this context, both college and colored both make sense. The context isn’t damning at all.

The whole argument is monumentally stupid for sure but nonetheless, this is one of those situations where you will hear what you want to hear. I heard colored the first time and college the second time.

It might very well be this effect at play and nothing else.

It seems like a lot of people are responding very emotionally to what could very well be nothing but an auditory trick.

You can click on my history. I’m left enough that I’m essentially a commie.

I’m voting for whoever the Dems want at this point, hell I’d vote for bush if he switched sides and the Dems decided on him.

I don’t participate in circle jerks however, no matter who it benefits.
