Raw announcer Booker T revealed on his latest podcast;Ā āHeated Conversationsā that he was not pleased withĀ The New Day, making fun of his promo from 1997 whereĀ he slipped up and said the n-word. Booker T also spoke on the recent incident duringĀ Monday Night RAWwith the Ball family:
āI just want to make it publicly known that I donāt condone that at all, especially coming off of Monday Night. We as a people, we gotta know when itās time to speak up and when itās time to shut up. My mother taught me that a long time ago; if you donāt know, itāll come back and haunt you. [The WCW promo blooper] has haunted me for this many years. You put yourself in a situation for something to happen, just like Mike Tyson did, something can happen. For these young kids to understand and realize and be able to speak up for themselvesā¦you knowā¦then again, I spoke up because I was talent, I spoke up because I knew that I could speak up. I implore these young people out there to know exactly what theyāre doing and how they are affecting our young people that are coming up. Thatās the most important thing as far as Iām concerned. Me personally, I know Iāve made mistakes, that word that I said on national television in front of the world; I wish I could go back and erase it. I wish that I could take it back. I wish that WWE would never do something like that ever again.ā
