so I got this email about Al Sharpton and the Sears store

[onethatcares]

something about Al complaining about the machines being white and the salesman saying the agitators were black. Well, I had to reply, with,
If you look inside most washing machines, you'll find the agitators to be white. Isn't about time we get over the black/white divide and start to work on America for all?

I may have lost someone that mistook me for what I'm not. No big deal.

1. That's an old chestnut of a story. Started out as Jesse Jackson.

And no, it's not true. It's just a painfully bad joke.
