A white TV news anchor, Alex Housden cries as she apologized live on air to her black co-author for saying he looked like looked like a gorilla in a zoo.

The TV anchor had on Monday compared her black co-author on KOCO 5 TV, Jason Hackett, to a gorilla in Oklahoma zoo and has now apologized to him live on television.

Alex Housden, who hosts the morning show at KOCO 5 TV, sparked outrage during a segment about a baby western lowland gorilla named Fin recording selfie videos. The initially lighthearted segment quickly turned viral after Housden said to her co-host, Jason Hackett, who is black, that Fin "kind of looks like you when you take a picture"

The next morning, however, Housden and Hackett sat beside each other on a couch as she tearfully apologized to her colleague

Black is not inferior to white, they should stop this racism. That statement is very derogatory
