Dallas weatherman says 'slain thugs' comment that led him to resign had no racist intent

Weatherman Bob Goosmann denied there were any racial undertones to the incendiary Facebook comment that led him to resign as chief meteorologist at KRLD (1080 AM).

The Facebook message, posted Wednesday, said, "As many of you have probably noticed, I've stayed away from politics on FB. The DNC parading the mothers of slain thugs around on their stage has me furious."

The comment came after black women whose children have died while in custody, in police shootings or other gun violence took the stage at the Democratic National Convention.

Here is the Tweet in question.



Last time I checked, thug is not a racial slur.
