KTVU anchor calls out racist who disapproves of his family

SAN FRANCISCO — It's bizarre when someone calls me out with a sickening comment. But that's what happened. So now I'm calling him out.

On the "visitor posts" section of (my Facebook) page, someone posted the picture of me taking out my daughter's braids several years ago.

The caption said:
"This was sent to me by a friend in another state! Love you Frank!!"

But right after that someone named Terrance J. posted this exact comment:

"F**king disgrace smh smh nasty ass crakka touching sister hair smh"
(smh means shake my head. SFGATE added the asterisks)

I'm not posting the guy's full name. I don't think there's any need for that.

What I can say is that I feel sad for him. Because of his life experiences, when he looks at this picture he doesn't see a dad who loves his daughter with all his heart.

All he sees is a "f**king disgrace" and a "crakka touching sister hair."

I actually wrote him back and asked him why he would say that.

More for you
He hasn't responded. I hope he does because I'm genuinely curious to hear his answer.

We always knew that when we adopted my daughter we might get comments like that. But I can't even remember the last time it happened.

In fact, I can probably count on one hand the number of negative things people have said.

READ: Was the racist comment actually from a white person, fomenting racial tension?

This one though is by far the nastiest comment we've gotten. Again, it doesn't make me angry. Just sad.

The only way it would make me upset is if someone said something like that to my daughter's face. Because that would hurt her. And no one is going to hurt my daughter.

I hope Terrance J. sees this. And I would love it if he responds.

But most of all I hope he realizes that maybe there's nothing wrong with a white dad loving his black daughter more than anything in this world.

Bay Area News Anchor Pulled Off Air Over Dispute About Gabby Petito Coverage (Report)

KTVU’s Frank Somerville wanted to add a note about the disproportionate coverage of missing white women

Frank Somerville, anchor for Fox Bay Area news affiliate KTVU, has been pulled off air by the network over a behind-the-scenes dispute concerning coverage of the Gabby Petito missing persons case.

According to The Mercury News,

Somerville wanted to add a tagline to a segment about the Petito case pointing out the disparity in coverage of missing persons cases of white women relative to women of color.

The disparity has become part of the national conversation surrounding the Petito case after MSNBC host Joy Reid brought it up on her show “The ReidOut” this past Monday.

“The Petito family certainly deserves answers and justice,” Reid said. “ But the way this story captivated the nation has many wondering why not the same media attention when people of color go missing? Well, the answer actually has a name: Missing White Woman Syndrome, the term coined by the late and great Gwen Ifill to describe the media and public fascination with missing white women like Laci Peterson or Natalee Holloway while ignoring cases involving of people of color.”

The Mercury News said that Somerville, who has an adopted Black daughter, pushed back after the tagline was refused, though there was no information on how heated the discussion got. His indefinite suspension comes just six weeks after ending a previous leave of absence for health issues when he struggled to read his teleprompter and slurred his words during a broadcast in May.

TheWrap has reached out to KTVU for additional comment.

Petito, 22, had been reported missing earlier this month while on a camping trip and was found dead in Wyoming last week. An arrest warrant has been issued by the FBI for Petito’s fiance, Brian Laundrie.
