Une journaliste choquée par le discours de Larry Wilmore

La controverse refuse de mourir. La journaliste April Ryan explique dans les pages du Washington Post pourquoi le recours à l'expression "nigga" n'est pas acceptable.

 "I took that particular n-word as a very personal insult. Not because I’m overly sensitive, too “politically correct” or have never heard the word used as a term of endearment. Hardly. I took exception to it as the lead Washington reporter for American Urban Radio Networks, an African American outlet that has fought hard for its place in the White House briefing room and, frankly, at the annual correspondents’ dinner. I compete daily with colleagues, for whom I have tremendous respect, who in many cases have more resources and reporting advantages than I do, in order to ensure that black issues and concerns are raised in White House briefings. In the White House Correspondents’ Association’s 102-year history, I am one of only three African Americans ever to serve on its board. And knowing how hard black journalists have worked for inclusion in that room, Wilmore’s line offended me to the core."
