Fox News host Brian Kilmeade referred to Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, a historic African American sorority, as a 'colored' sorority during a segment on 'Fox & Friends.' The comment sparked outrage, with many criticizing the use of the outdated and offensive term. Kilmeade's remarks were made in the context of criticizing an unnamed individual's decision to address the sorority rather than attending a joint session of Congress. The incident has been widely condemned, with some noting the presence of a Black co-host who did not respond to the comment.
