A top politician has issued a groveling apology after meeting with a group of black church leaders and telling them: ‘The problem I have with you people…’ Governor of Nebraska Pete Ricketts, who is white, said sorry for offending the group of pastors during a meeting in Omaha Monday, and insisted he’d also apologized as soon as the words left his mouth.

Pastor Jarrod Parker, of St Mark’s Baptist Church in Nebraska, shared his fury at the offensive turn of phrase in a Facebook video he shared Monday evening. Parker said: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I walked out on Governor Pete Ricketts as he said, he called us, “you people.”

‘Make this go viral. He called black pastors and black leaders “you people,” and I walked out on him. That’s why the city is going to go up in flames, Mrs Mayor and Mr Chief. You’re not listening. And you can’t listen, because at the top of the state is a racist governor.’

Governor Ricketts has since acknowledged his poor choice of words, telling the Lincoln Journal ‘That was the wrong way to say it. Again, I’m engaging with the African American community, and I’m learning and I apologize and I’ve got to work to do better. I made a mistake and I apologized for it.’

Ricketts used the phrase during a meeting aimed at fostering dialogue about ongoing Black lives matters protests sweeping his state. It is considered offensive if used by a member of one ethnicity towards another.

African-American community leaders in Nebraska had been left angered after prosecutors decided not to file charges over the death of James Scurlock, a 22 year-old black man shot dead Saturday night during protests over the death of George Floyd Saturday.

Douglas County Prosecutor Don Kleine called Scurlock’s shooting at the hands of bar owner Jake Gardner ‘senseless.’ But he said Gardner had opened fire in self-defense after being surrounded by a group of protesters after his business was attacked and his dad was shoved.

Surveillance camera footage shows Gardner fire two warning shots after his dad was assaulted, and he was surrounded by a group of people who’d gathered outside it. He shot Scurlock after being jumped by him.

Kleine said his team had ruled Gardner’s actions were self-defense, rather than ‘cold-blooded murder’ and added that no charges would be filed against him.
