Liberals accuse alex trebek of racism

“Kenesha, you’d better get it,” he joked as she began to answer.

Upon first glance, one might assume Trebek said she’d “better get” it simply because she’s a black student. Some might brand that “racist,” right? A quick perusal of Twitter shows many social media users did exactly that (post continues below):

Except one thing: Oakwood University is a member institution of the UNCF and, thus, one of the 37 schools to which the organization provides scholarship funds and financial support.

It’s likely Trebek assumed Bennett should know the answer, not specifically because of her skin color, but because she goes to a school that has such a close relationship with UNCF.
