Mayor Adams gives NY Gov. Hochul pass on remarks about Bronx Black kids not knowing what 'computer is'
NEW YORK — A day after Gov. Kathy Hochul said Black kids in the Bronx don’t know the meaning of the word “computer,” Mayor Eric Adams gave her a pass on the gaffe, saying Tuesday he knows the governor’s “heart.”
“When you make thousands of speeches, when you’re in front of the cameras all the time, when you’re trying to be authentic and say the things that you’re really feeling, one can sit back and do a critical analysis of every sentence you say,” the mayor said during a Q&A with reporters at City Hall. “I know her heart. I know what she was intending to say, and she was not trying to be disrespectful to the people of the Bronx.”
A day earlier, Hochul said that “we have young Black kids growing up in the Bronx who don’t even know what the word ‘computer’ is.”
“They don’t know, they don’t know these things,” she said.

Rather tone-deaf statement on her part. Good on Adams for forgiving her. I don't know how others feel.
