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.
The clerk was upset because Jesse was whining, loud, abrasive, and : (obnoxious, as is usual for him, and was driving customers away. So
the clerk called the store manager, who arrived and asked,
"What's the problem here, Reverend?"
Jesse pointed at 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."
