Did this Jackson, Mississippi Anchor just drop a racial slur?

First, let’s give a little background. Slave children called their mother mammy and their grandmother was called grandmammy.

Now, watch as WLBT Anchor Barbie Bassett, while doing crosstalk with a Black Reporter (sorry, at this point I don’t know the Reporter’s name) and says “I know your mother or your GRANDMAMMY has got….”

It even appears that the Black Anchor sitting to her left is looking at her like “did you really just go there?”

It will be interesting if WLBT or parent company Gray Television addresses this.
