Local news anchor complains about "jigaboo music" during the Oscars

With an uncomfortable black co-anchor right next to her

WJW News in the Morning anchor Wayne Dawson reported on Monday that singer Lady Gaga had performed a tribute for the 50th anniversary of the Sound of Music at Sunday night’s Oscars.



“Lady Gaga, surprising a lot of people last night with this tribute to Sound of Music,” Dawson said, adding that actress Julie Andrews called it “wonderful.”



Capel remarked that she had also been surprised by Lady Gaga’s performance.



“It’s hard to really hear her voice with all the jigaboo music — whatever you want to call it — jigaboo!” Capel opined.



“She has a nice voice,” Dawson, who is black, said after a nervous laugh.



“She has a gorgeous voice,” Capel agreed. “I never knew. Very nice.”



When called out for it by complaints on social media, she non-apologized, saying she wasn't aware the word had racist connotations.



Who in the world does not know that word has racist connotations?
