    So this is not a good look. The governor of New York is catching heat for saying black kids don't know what a computer is. This is a classic example of racism of low expectations. Because the kids are black, she doesn't believe they can tell you what a "computer" is. She puts down black kids and then says she wants to be the one to save them from their stupidity and ignorance.

    so what? Democrats have a long storied history of being the racist party. That does not stop the media from putting out a false narrative about the Democrat party and sadly, minority races vote for Democrats despite it being in their worst interest to do so.

    Don't know what computers are, don't know how to get state ID's...I swear the Dems really think blacks are pretty helpless.

    Democrats believe blacks are inferior.

    This funny because it’s based on too much truth.

    The digital divide in New York City is still a perisist issue. She obviously had a Miss America moment when misspoke about the problem at an AI forum.



    Households in the Bronx were most likely to report difficulties with internet access at home compared to other boroughs. Nearly a quarter of Bronx respondents reported that their household lacked home internet access in the past year, double the share of Brooklyn and Queens respondents. One out of every four Bronx residents said that they had an inadequate number of digital devices at home.

    The digital divide is preventing New Yorkers from climbing up the economic ladder. Residents in public housing have experienced even greater setbacks than the rest of New York City. Four out of every ten low-income New Yorkers reported that lack of internet access and working devices kept them from completing online schooling, and nearly a third said that this was a barrier to completing online job-related training. Nearly half of public housing residents reported that these challenges kept them from completing online education, job training, or telehealth visits.
