A television meteorologist is out of a job one day after Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren and City Council President Loretta Scott called for his firing for making a racial slur during a broadcast.
During a weather forecast on Friday which showed a live shot of the city's Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park, Jeremy Kappell appeared to refer to it as "Martin Luther Coon King Jr. Park."
"It is beyond unacceptable that this occurred. There must be real consequences for the news personality involved and also for the management team that failed to immediately apologize and address the slur," the statement from Warren and Scott said. "The individual responsible for the slur should no longer be employed at Channel 10."
Kappell, who had been WHEC's Chief Meteorologist since October 2017, said on Twitter Monday afternoon that he had been fired. -

coon
A "Coon" is an offensive word for a black person. Simaler to other words such as "nigger, spear-chucker, porch monkey, bubble-lip, blue gum, tar baby, moon cricket" and not to mention the other dozens of silly slurs.
As the old song goes....."If ya smell something funny when ya walk down the street your in 'coon' town, you look and see garbage all over the street your in 'coon' town...." and so on with it's repedative slurs. -

Where did moon cricket come from? Derived from early slave times when black people would come out at night and sing slave songs under the moonlight like crickets
