Lagana's apologised.The comments will now be edited out.
"On tonight's episode of NWA Powerr airing on November 19th 2019, one of our talents made comments which some viewers found offensive. We deeply regret the error and apologize.
We have temporarily taken the program down while we correct this error."

Jim Cornette saw everyone defending him and immediately went nice job kid but check this shit The only thing missing now is for him to cut a promo on someone black and call them boy to complete the whole thing Like damn, I still can’t believe that shit left his mouth and no one went wait a min what the f*** he said and edited that out I've only just realized that there are two different types of "hating everybody". The first is being a complete social wreck who can't get along with anybody they meet (that's me). The second is Cornette, who hates everybody because none of them match up with all of his identity characteristics. |

Yes Dave, an error you've known about for months and could've corrected at any time, but didn't. An error? That’s not going to fly |

In the last 3 weeks
Cornette has told someone they should kill themselves for not wearing a suit when ring announcing
Said someone looked like a pedophile for wearing a suit and smiling
Made nasty racist remarks about some of the Japanese women wrestlers in AEW
And now made this offensive racist remark on NWA.
What a horrible, horrible man. Surely NWA have to shitcan him now?

Like, AEW edited out something from Dark with MJF(badly but they still did it) and that show goes up just under a week after Dynamite airs. |

I bet Cornette is the type to go "Everything is so PC now, nobody has a sense of humour anymore!" when his overtly racist jokes don't land.

Did no one actually listen to the show before they put it up? Or did they just not care and only acted like it was an error because someone caught it and unsurprisingly, called it out for the vile racism it was.

While Corny deserves to be dragged for this, everyone else involved needs to be dragged further. There is zero excuse for this. Corny should have been fired on the spot and this should have been edited out. Zero. Excuse.

I know I am going to regret asking this, but why is this racist? If he said another food aside from fried chicken, would it be racist? Because I honestly don’t think he was trying to insinuate all black people like fried chicken. I think that is just a good everyone knows. You question how is this racist then immediately mention the fact fried chicken came into play. You clearly get it. I mean it is probably not a good idea for a white person to say anything about someone of African descent and fried chicken, but I thought that was more a racist stereotype specifically towards African Americans. I thought he was more saying fried chicken because it is delicious and, like, more than one piece of it. I honestly asked because I thought just the whole starving Ethiopian aspect of it was more so why people were upset. I just didn’t make the fried chicken/anyone with dark skin connection. Don’t think Cornette did either, he is probably on too thin of ice to get a pass for it. |

At the very least, this statement is something you wouldn’t repeat in public because your ass would be lambasted and if you said it at work you’re fired Fried Chicken/Black People is one of the oldest racist things out there to discredit us and make us look like savages. |

Corny should have been fired on the spot and this should have been edited out. Zero. Excuse. Hugely agreed. Like, just as someone that knows how the process of editing shit goes, there's absolutely no way that they could have missed that line. |

And yet this is the second time they have knowledge Cornette's "attitude". Maybe this time it will have consequences but given the official statement,I doubt. |
