Correct!
I'm proud of Mr. Carter's responses about it, but I want to know, as I posted before, why doesn't he use a cane or a dog?
All of the blind boys are putting their hands on the shoulders of the sighted guys in the band, so they can be led on stage!
#1, that's empropper sighted guide, and #2, they need to use a cane, or a dog, but preferably a cane, to get around!
Blessings, Joshua

All I will say is that racism should be considered ridiculous and stupid
regardless of whether one is blind or dighted.

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.
