New York Governor Kathy Hochul has faced widespread criticism for her remarks suggesting that Black children in the Bronx do not know what a computer is. These comments have sparked outrage across various platforms, with critics accusing the governor of perpetuating racial stereotypes. In response to the backlash, Governor Hochul stated that she 'chose the wrong words' during her initial statement. The controversy has also highlighted the case of Dexter Taylor, a Black software engineer currently imprisoned in New York for assembling legally-acquired gun parts, further intensifying the scrutiny on Hochul's administration. Critics have urged Black Americans to remember these remarks when voting on November 5th.
