That was ridiculously careless, and frankly, racist — it’s blackface, it's violent, and it’s insulting. I apologize.

The author deserves better, the editor deserves better, our readers deserve better. My carelessness resulted in an act of racist aggression. I’ve taken down the audio, and will have the essay re-recorded by a Black woman, as I should have done from the start.

I’ve reached out to Dr. Bradley and to Maurice, to apologize and to make sure that they can be part fo the process of making this right if they want to be. But I can only imagine how angry they are. It’s up to them to decide whether/when to engage with me on this.

In the meantime, I’d also like to apologize to our readers, to the Black community, and especially to Black women, who often bear the brunt of racism in our society. There’s no excuse for what happened, and we’ll be taking steps to make amends beyond just re-recording the audio.

Just to be explicitly clear: I’m the only one who manages the audio production process—this was entirely my doing, and no one else who works on Fireside had a chance to hear the audio, much less rectify. This is all absolutely my fault, no one else’s. I’ll have more to say soon.

How did you read a piece that starts “I’m a southern Black woman...” and decide the perfect person to voice this was a white man? Then listen to his mammy-fication, this minstrelsy, and think it okay to release? Who gave
@KevinRineerVO the direction to sound like that? -
Right. I feel like this is one of those let me be real racist for exposure type shits. I don't have forgiveness for this shit in 2020 from a grown ass man
