Georgia Governor Refers To ‘Colored People’ In Speech

“A racially charged phrase used by Governor Nathan Deal during a speech to educators has the governor saying he made a mistake in what he said, but not in what he meant,” Fox 5 Atlanta reports.

Said Deal: “The irony of some of the groups who are opposing doing something to help these minority children is beyond my logic. If you want to advance the state of colored people, start with their children.”

He later clarified: “I did not mean to insult anyone, but I was upset.”
