New Jersey TV News 12 Reporter Sean Bergin Quits After Station Slashes Pay for Racist Comments … Actually It Was for Having the Courage to Call It Like He Sees It

 

ONCE AGAIN USING THE RACE CARD WHERE NO RACISM EXISTS …

The title of the video below is, ‘TV Reporter Sean Bergin Quits After Station Slashes Pay for Racist Comment’. Watch the video and determine if you can find the “racist” comments. Yup, neither could I. The fact of the matter is that Sean Bergin was suspended and his pay was cut causing him to quit after he dared take a stance against the growing crime and violence in inner cities. News 12 made him an offer he had to refuse. This is what is being called a racist comment,  “The underlying cause for all of this, of course, young black men growing up without fathers.” REALLY?

A New Jersey news reporter was reportedly suspended Monday after he blamed anti-police sentiments among inner-city residents on “young black men growing up without fathers.”

News 12 reporter Sean Bergin was giving a live report about rookie Jersey City Police Officer Melvin Santiago, who was killed Sunday by suspect Lawrence Campbell, 27, in a shootout at a local Walgreens.

The station interviewed angry residents who had gathered at a makeshift memorial for Mr. Campbell, who was also killed in the shootout.

“He should’ve taken more [officers] with him,” his widow, Angelique Campbell, told the station. “Sorry for the officer’s family. That’s, you know, whatever. But, at the end of the day, [Lawrence] got a family, too. All they care about is the officer.”

Mr. Bergin closed the report with a short monologue, that ultimately got him suspended,

Transcript:

“We were besieged, flooded with calls from police officers furious that we would give media coverage to the life of a cop killer,” he said. “It’s understandable. We decided to air it because it’s important to shine a light on this anti-cop mentality that has so contaminated America’s inner cities.

“This same sick, perverse line of thinking is evident from Jersey City to Newark and Patterson to Trenton,” he continued. “It has made the police officer’s job impossible, and it has got to stop. The underlying cause for all of this, of course, young black men growing up without fathers. Unfortunately, no one in the news media has the courage to touch that subject.”

      Barack Obama can say it but … TV Reporter Sean Bergin can’t. Why the double standard?

      Obama Sharply Assails Absent Black Fathers
      Published: June 16, 2008

      The speech was striking for its setting, and in how Mr. Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, directly addressed one of the most sensitive topics in the African-American community: whether absent fathers bore responsibility for some of the intractable problems afflicting black Americans.
