Right now we have, you know, young Black kids growing up in the Bronx who don't even know what the word computer is. They don't know, they don't know these things.
Amanda Septimo called Hochul's remarks harmful, deeply misinformed, and genuinely appalling, perpetuating harmful stereotypes about underserved communities.
Assembly member Reyes expressed deep disturbance at Hochul's remarks, emphasizing that Bronx children are bright, brilliant, and deserving of opportunities.
Governor Hochul apologized, acknowledging her mistake and clarifying that Black children in the Bronx do know what computers are but lack access to them.
