It's happened again: Another white person said something racist and is out of a job because of it. After facing backlash for reportedly using an anti-black racist slur, Lauren Podell resigned from her position on Wednesday as a reporter at local NBC station WDIV-TV in Detroit.
"I'm tired of reporting on these niggers killing one another in Detroit," Podell, 31, said to a colleague, community activist Sam Riddle told Blac Detroit.
WDIV vice president and general manager Marla Drutz announced Podell's decision on Wednesday in an email she sent to employees.
"I wanted to let you know that Lauren Podell has resigned from WDIV effective immediately," the email read. "Lauren asked me to convey the following: 'During my time at WDIV I have created many friendships that I will continue to cherish.'"
