Sagemindsays...As someone with a deaf person in the family, I've watched a lot of Closed caption TV. I also have someone in my family who types translation for Medical Transcription who types reports in real time. An amazing feat, typing 120 words per minute.
Some text is Pre-typed like in TV shows and Movies.
Some text is Auto typed by a computer
And some text is physically being typed by someone live in real time.
You can usually tell if it's typed in real time, because they can be running one or two sentences behind as they try to keep up. It's a very unforgiving medium. Once typed it's broadcasted. You can't just go back in time and remove it. A lot of this typing uses Auto-complete on typing words to speed up the typist to keep the typing in line with the audio.
This is most likely what happened in this case, as the Auto completion incorrectly chose the wrong word.
Don't read into things more than what's there. If you've watched as much closed caption as I have, you'd know that mistakes happen constantly, especially on live broadcast news stories. This is one example out of maybe 20-30 mistakes that will come up in an hour of time.
C-notesays...So this is what you are offering blacks as an explanation.

newtboysays...Please don't get behind stupidity like this.
When you do, you give permission for rational people to ignore you when there's a real slight or serious issue.
His explanation was rational, clear, educated, and undoubtedly correct. Get over it and back off calling auto correct racist. It makes you appear unhinged.
Side note, my brother calls his kids monkeys.....they're white.
Btw, I'm almost always on your side in these debates, but absolutely not this one.
So this is what you are offering blacks as an explanation.
CrushBugsays...And the auto caption has problems with technical and medical terms. I remember seeing a screenshot from some live criminal trial where a medic was testifying and regardless of what he said the caption was:
"And the cat pornography levels were low, only 16."
C-notesays...So who programmed the system.

eric3579says...Spend 30 seconds on google and you'll figure it out.
So who programmed the system.
newtboysays...Ahhh, snidely doubling down on the dumb. That's certainly a tactic.
So physics is racist too....light skin being more reflective than dark skin is a function of bigotry.
I guess I should just ignore or contradict your cries of racism now rather than back you up, and assume you're always just crying wolf.....again.
You've just erased all credibility you had with me with that tactic. Bravo!
antsays...*laws *wtf
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Law, Wtf) - requested by ant.
siftbotsays...Moving this video to C-note's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
