Did WIS, GM Donita Todd use a racial slur?

“We will not tolerate this Boss Hogg mentality. Because we deserve better,” WIS GM Donita Todd screamed in an editorial two weeks ago.

Todd is on the hot-seat for firing a popular white newsman at a TV station that lacks a true representation of South Carolinians. Only one of ten on the WIS news staff is a white male.
Thousands are calling for Todd to be fired because of her personnel strategy, after Hoover was let go.  

The term “Boss Hogg” that Todd so recklessly used, conjures up an image of a fat, corrupt, Southern white man.

The character, portrayed by Sorrell Brooke 1980s Dukes of Hazzard TV show. is the epitome of a negative stereotype. It is meant to portray white Southern males as stupid, backward and corrupt.

How responsible is it for a woman, who is the General Manager of the largest TV Station in a Southern state to use such a term to describe the people she is attacking.
Is it OK for a powerful TV GM to attack based on race, if the object of hate is white and Southern?
Ironically, Todd writes in her June 27, editorial “Whether it's the arrogance of believing you'll never get caught, the conspiracy of power or the utter disregard for the law, one has to wonder what drives this behavior. Also makes you wonder what else is going on and when that shoe will drop. It's an assault to our daily senses.”
Could that not be said about Todd, today?
Todd ends her tirade: “Perhaps these headlines will urge South Carolinians to send a strong message to their public officials  that we will not tolerate this Boss Hogg mentality. Because we deserve better.”
Yes, Ms Todd. Maybe we do deserve better.
