A Black journalist who was on the call in which Wendy Mesley, host of the CBC News program The Weekly, used the N-word when preparing a program on anti-Black racism took to Twitter to speak out following an internal CBC investigation into the matter. The public broadcaster did not specify what disciplinary action Mesley would face. She said in the thread that it was not the first time that a white journalist at CBC had used the N-word. A space that evidently upholds whiteness:
I was on the call when Wendy Mesley said "n*gger". She said she used the N-word not as a slur but to "share and expose an outrage amid this much-needed reckoning with anti-Black racism."
