[nfb-talk] Stupidity running amuck on the Colbert Report!

[Joshua Lester]

Two nights ago, my friends, the Blind Boys of Alabama were guests on Stephen Colbert's show on Commedy Central.
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.
