- If I was offended I didn't imagine it. You may not have been.
- Which may be ok for you. I was offended and I didn't have to
- look very hard to be offended.
-
- Don't you ever wonder why you see certain things as you do on TV?
- Is there a perfectly good reason why we'd never see a black man would
- sell a white woman a car? There are black men salespeople, and white
- women customers who buy automobiles. Why can't a black male salesperson
- sell a car to white woman on national TV?
-
- Or is it that you think that not one part of the situation could take
- place? A woman couldn't buy a car on her own, let alone buy it from
- a black salesperson?
-
- Evidently someone was offended because Saturn doesn't run that commercial
- anymore...
