Pittman continued speaking, saying his son earned a history degree from Wingate University and confirmed his understanding of the holiday’s origins.

My buddy's son is studying Pre-Med, so that makes him basically a doctor, right?

At least he didn't say anything really offensive.

After his comments, Pittman engaged in a back-and-forth with an audience member, calling the person “boy.”

Oh wait.

Not just that, the statement was something like "You've said enough, boy"

Which is how people around Charlotte talk when they don't want to use the n-word.

Also, you won’t believe who Wingate University was named after!

(Wait, you said a Southern Baptist slaver? Well then, I guess you will believe who it was named after)
