8043: Culturally Clueless C-SPAN Caller.


A female caller engaged C-SPAN host Robb Harleston with the following commentary:

I’m 90 years old, and I just wanted to ask the colored man, why don’t colored people, instead of saying what we did to them, why don’t they say what we did for them? Uh, they talk about the slavery. But since then, they have [been] given welfare, free medicine, free everything.”

Gee, one might guessed the caller was from the advertising industry—except we all know there are few women and even fewer old folks working on Madison Avenue.
