"MSNBC Alison Morris Los Angeles N Word Kobe Bryant Tragedy - January 26 2020"

MSNBC news anchorwoman, Alison Morris, made a massive on-air slip this past Sunday. She was reporting on the passing of former Los Angeles Lakers basketball player, Kobe Bryant, 41, and his daughter, Gianna, 13, who died in a helicopter crash, along with 7 of their friends.

While speaking about the sad tragedy on the air, Morris referred to the Lakers basketball team as the Los Angeles "nig*ers" in an astonishing slip. Morris' excuse is she was thinking of the New York Knicks basketball team and accidentally merged the two words to say "Nakers."

There's only one problem for Morris. Most people on social networking don't believe her explanation, because if you listen to the audio, she clearly said the word "nig*ers" in what was a Freudian slip. Many on social networking are slamming Morris' conduct. She has since apologized on Twitter.

To make matters worse, the BBC network aired a news segment on Bryant's passing, but used the wrong footage. Instead of using footage of Bryant playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, they used a clip of NBA star and current Los Angeles Laker, Lebron James. It played into the racial stereotype that all black people look alike. The BBC has become very racist in recent years.
