With VP Kamala Harris now officially running for president, the alleged racists on the Right are foaming at the mouth. Case in point, on Tuesday morning (July 24), during a segment on Fox and Frien…
Edit: Guys, watch the video. He clearly said “college.” I am sorry for posting misinformation; I didn’t watch the video first, and just assumed it was legit 😕.
Unless you hear him pronouncing it with a hard G, I don’t know how you can hear college. It ends with a hard sound (voiced plosvie).
To me it actually sounds like co-ed because there’s definitely a c/k at the start and d at the end, and a blustering moron’s mouth noises in the middle, but I don’t see how they get from that to college and I do see how you get from that to coloured. Why he wouldn’t own “co-ed” I don’t know because sounding like a behind the times old white dude is very much their brand
it sounds to me like he started to say one thing and then changed mid word. Perhaps he realized he was about to say something stupid, or perhaps he just bobbled it.

Well, for starters, “college” uses a soft g sound.
Uh, yeah. And there’s absolutely no soft g sound in what he says. The word clearly ends in a hard sound.
