> Two nights ago, my friends, the Blind Boys of Alabama were guests on

> Colbert had the nerve to ask Jimmy Carter, (the leader of the group,) a 
> stupid question.
> "As a blind person, does racism seem ridiculous to you, since you can't 
> tell what race somebody is?"
> What's next?
> Not only is the question offensive from a racial standpoint, but it's 
> offensive from the blindness perspective!
> I would have asked to have my group removed from the show, but Jimmy 
> educated Mr. Colbert, and handled it with grace!
> There's a link to this ignorance on the group's Twitter page.
