Sharon Reed Rightfully Puts Racist Viewer In Her Place: “You Think It’s Okay To Call This Journalist A Ni–er; I Don’t”

White people tend to be a little dense when it comes to Black people trying to expose their many microaggressions and outright racist actions which is why, I imagine, journalist Sharon Reed decided to call out a racist viewer by name on CBS46 last night and put the hate-filled email she was sent on screen.
