Black People : "Stupid, Dirty, Girl!"

Hi Sister Happy ... i saw this briefly on the news, but they never showed the little girl, and they didn't say if she was Black or White.

I just did a search and found this article ... Call for Riordan resignation rescinded


SACRAMENTO - A lawmaker who had called for Education Secretary Richard Riordan to resign for joking with a 6-year-old that her name meant ``stupid, dirty girl'' abruptly backed off Thursday after mistakenly suggesting that race was a factor in the quip.

Assemblyman Mervyn Dymally, D-Los Angeles, canceled a news conference today with civil rights groups after learning that the girl subjected to Riordan's joke was white, not African-American.

Tonight, on FOX they reported that the child was an African-American, then I watched BET for some mention of this and got none; and I have been searching for info.
 
Here's Another Link to Story

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - State Education Secretary Richard Riordan has apologized for joking that a child's name meant "stupid dirty girl."

In a videotaped exchange at the city's central library on Thursday, a girl asked Riordan if he knew that her name meant "Egyptian goddess."

Riordan, who apparently believed he'd been asked what her name meant, replied, "It means stupid dirty girl."

Some in the room laughed nervously, and the girl again told Riordan the meaning of her name.

"Hey, that's nifty," he said.
