Brown was obviously stunned
in his reference to Booker T.
Washington as, “the great black
nigger—uh, uh — educator,” in
a speech before agriculture ex
perts this week. A tape of the
slur was included in WFAA-
TV’s profile of Brown Wednes
day in part of a series on candi
dates for state office.
Brown struggled to regain
composure.
“Excuse me for that," Brown
said with a pained expression

Brown later said the slip was
the result of food poisoning.
Brown, a conservative Demo
crat, faces opposition from liber
al Jim Hightower in Saturday’s
state primaries. The derogatory
remark comes at a critical time
for him, but does not mark
Brown’s first public slur toward
blacks.
A few months ago Brown dis
tributed a publicity photo to re
porters showing him with a
Nigerian tribal leader, who was
wearing long robes. T he man
held a certificate presented him
by Brown. T he certificate proc
laimed the Nigerian an “honor
ary sharecropper.”
In 1979, Brown got in politic
al trouble when a group of far
mers claimed they had tape re
corded a meeting with Brown in
which he used a racial slur.
