Atlanta anchor responds to email calling her a racial slur

ATLANTA (AP) — An Atlanta news anchor wasn't shocked to be called a racial slur in an email from a viewer but she decided, on air, to have the last word.

"Just another day at the office. Not the first time I've been called that word," CBS46 anchor Sharon Reed wrote on her Facebook page as she posted the email that included two misspellings of the N-word.

The unsigned email from the handle "kathyrae1962" says Reed should be fired for a "race baiting comment" she made during a newscast Tuesday night.

"it's o.k. for blacks to discuss certain subjects but not whites, really???" the email says before going on to say Reed is racist and call her the N-word.

It was not immediately clear what exactly Reed said that prompted the email.
