During the weekly "Today's Professionals" panel discussion in the 9 a.m. ET hour of Thursday's NBC "Today," while on the subject of the execution of Troy Davis, attorney Star Jones used the opportunity to proclaim: "You're never going to see a rich, white man being put to death in the United States of America. That's not going to happen right now." [Audio available here]
The outburst was prompted when co-host and panel moderator Savannah Guthrie wondered: "Some people....think the system is rigged against the poor in our society, against African-Americans in particular, and I wonder what your view is of that?"
Well, Ms. Star is going to have to apologize mightily because Florida millionaire, Bob Ward, who lives in the same complex as Tiger Woods, was convicted of killing his wife. I just wanted to clear the record. I guess this makes me a racist.
