Edit: Guys, watch the video. He clearly said “college.” I am sorry for posting misinformation; I didn’t watch the video first, and just assumed it was legit 😕.

    Testing out the waters. Seeing what they can get away with so they can get back to the n-word in the future.

      I think you are assigning far too much planning and intelligence to Brian Kilmeade. They haven’t got their talking points really together for her yet, but he is assigned to attack her in some way, and so this is the kind of stuff his brain comes up with when he doesn’t have content put together for him by professionals.

        No, he’s playing 4D chess.

        jk. In reality he probably was raised and exists in a world so far from black people that he thinks “colored” is an often used and acceptable term. Kind of like my grandmother did who was born in 1935 and died in 2007.

          I think it’s probably a combination of the two theories you and mozz have.

          He was assigned to attack her, didn’t have a weapons-grade talking point ready, and had to rely on his own brain for something. A “black” sorority isn’t going to do it . . hmmm . . hmmm . . AH. “Colored” isn’t the N word, and it hasn’t been used in a long time, so people will probably pick up on it - I’m a genius! Yes. Clearly. I have cracked the case on how to insult her race without using the n word! I love evil!
