TL;DR Summary

Mississippi news anchor Barbie Bassett has been taken off air and is no longer listed as a member of the news team after using a racial slur during a broadcast. Bassett, who is white, used the phrase "Fo shizzle, my nizzle" while discussing Snoop Dogg's latest addition to his Cali wine line. This is not the first time Bassett has landed in hot water for her comments, having previously apologized for referencing a black reporter's "grandmammy" on air. Some social media users have come to Bassett's defense, while others say it's not appropriate for a white woman to use that phrase.
