Rob Lederman, radio host of The Morning Bull Show, has been swiftly fired after racist comments.
Lederman’s racist comments compared his preferred toaster settings to Black women’s skin tones. Lederman discussed tennis professional Serena Williams, actress Halle Berry and television personality Gayle King’s skin tones. “I may get into trouble for this,” said the radio host before making the racist comparison.
“We have our toaster setting at the attractiveness of women that I find to be attractive, so I will never go to a Serena Williams level,” Lederman said. “But I am very comfortable at a Halle Berry level. I need a little bit of mulatto still coming through… Gayle King is not even on my toaster level.”
“I made a mistake, and it’s hard to look myself in the mirror, but I want to acknowledge it,” Lederman continued. “I apologize from the deepest depths of who I am.”
