Excerpts: "Vester Flanagan, who has reported for WTWC-TV since last March, said he and another black employee were referred to as "monkeys""
"Flanagan said a white supervisor, working on a story about a black homicide suspect who had "gold and green teeth," referred to the suspect as "just another thug.""
They fired him after he filed a formal complaint to HR.

Uh oh

This is why people need to stop crying racism for every little thing. It leads to stuff like this.

Or maybe people should stop making racist comments.

R.I.P to the victims

Ya'll, take your racial arguments elsewhere.

This thread should be about the victim, the killer and the crime that happened. Take everything else to a new thread.

Wait his tweets are here:

I was pretty wrong with my memory of what he tweeted, but I only glanced at it and was too in shock and swiftly exited after I saw a video thumbnail.

And so it begins.

[Chiidish]

I'll wait for more details about the reasons or events leading to the shooting. RIP to the victims, there's no justification for murder.

[Caprice]

The killer was caucasian tho.

[alexanderao]

Williams had sued a DIFFERENT station for racial discrimination, but was also complaining about discrimination at his current station.

[Scene.]

CNN is showing live footage from WDBJ7's noon broadcast where they're addressing what's going on.

I don't know how they're keeping it together right now.

[Marvin]

Learning more about this and... just wow. The video is traumatizing. Incredibly sad story.

[Espresso]

There's so much contradictory info right now. I thought the shooter was Caucasian?

He was never caucasian, the picture made him like white but that's because they had to remove darkness to get a clear pic of his face. He's clearly african american.

[PhreshDiamond]

Hes killed him self according to BBC news

Girl bye, I am some tumblr 13 year old ok and I didn't say he was well adjusted. But yes there are many rational, logical people on this planet who plot and commit murder everyday so idk what world you're living in. But I'm sure it's easier for you to believe you have to be out of your mind to do evil **** like this.

OK, well, I have my degree in Psychology if you want to make it about that. And thanks for agreeing with me, sis. Glad you get where I'm coming from. What a sad, senseless tragedy, enabled by our flawed system.
