Afterward, when the producer showed the message on the screen, Sharon stated that she would let the viewer’s words “speak for themselves”.

“I didn’t say that white people couldn’t talk about race. Quite the contrary, we think that race is an authentic discussion to have. It’s one we’re having tonight because it’s one that you are talking about at home and it’s one that has clearly entered the Atlanta mayor’s race. That’s why, behind the scenes, my colleagues and I – white and black – we decided, hey let’s go for it.”

Moreover, she also added:

“When arguing with somebody you have to be careful not to mischaracterise their viewpoint, so I won’t mischaracterise your view either, Kathy Rae. I get it. On 5 December, 2017, you think it’s OK to call this journalist a ‘n****r’. I don’t”.
“But I could clap back and say a few things to you. But instead I’ll let your words, Kathy Rae, speak for themselves. And that will be the last word.”
