The Reverend Jesse Jackson was holding a press conference in the
appliance department of a Sears Store in Chicago. He was there to
protest the fact that all the washing machines were white.
So the clerk called the store manager, who asked, "What's the problem
here, Reverend?" Jesse pointed at all the machines and loudly
bemoaned the fact that all of them were white.
The manager replied, "Well, Reverend, it's true that all the washing
machines are white, but if you'll open the lids, you'll see that all the
agitators are black."
