Black Anchor Reportedly Axed After Saying The N-word

May 29th, 2008

Insiders say the anchor got into an argument with a producer during a commercial break
michael-sctt-waay-tv.jpgVeteran anchor Michael Scott got the boot from WAAY-TV in Huntsville, Ala. Scott reportedly got into an argument with one of his co-workers and called him a n**ger. Details of the exchange can be found on NewsBlues.com, a Web site for TV news professionals. Tipsters at Calkins-owned Huntsville station say primary news anchor Michael Scott was suspended after openly berating news producer Jabaree Pruitt. According to those who witnessed the incident, Scott, during a commercial break in the 10 p.m. newscast, referred to Pruitt as a Negro. When Pruitt ask him not to use that word, Scott called him a ‘nigger.’ Both men are Black. While a station official confirmed to The Huntsville Times that Scott was no longer with the station, he did not elaborate on the circumstances surrounding his departure. Instead, he would only say that a nationwide search would be conducted to find his replacement.

Good. His a** should have been fired. I am a 34 year old black woman. I don’t allow my children to say it. If blacks are going to get all bent out of shape when someone other than a blacks says it then there is no way we should be saying it to each other.

If I was that producer, I would’ve waited until we came back from the commercial break, then commence to whooping this dudes behind, right there LIVE!

I live in Huntsville, and this is what we don’t need right now. Everytime Huntsville, or the entire state of Alabama, is in the national spotlight it is always either a bad thing or a tragic thing like the two state senators who got into a fight, or the bus accident that killed four Lee students.

To All Who Have Posted,

There were not many who were in the room, and the offender and offended are speaking, as friends, and getting past the misunderstanding. What is sad is an inaccurate posting (details in the first posting), inaccurate descriptions of Mr. Scott’s position at the station, and the inaccurate ‘feel’ of the so-called altercation. Both parties are good men, and are both moving forward together.

Geez Michael Scott cannot keep a job. He was terminated from his anchor gig with KCTV 5 News in Kansas City because he was making lude and sexually suggestive remarks to his coworkers. He also was abusing his authority as a journalist with local women. He’d tell them that he could make them a star and what not. Knowing his character, I’m not surprised about this at all.
