That show was ridiculous.  My name is Chad, I called in to voice an opinion and was cut off because I didn't fall in line with your guests and your liberal audience. 
The first point that I didn't get a chance to voice (by the way maybe you forgot about freedom of speech) your definition of racism is very broad.  Just because a coworker transfer a call to an African-American when the caller aske for the "Niger" is in no way racist.  It may be ignorant but not racist.  Secondly, you need to define racism, because the true definition of racism would in no way fall under that scenario.  Look it up and get educated yourselves.
Your entire program is a pharse and all you have done is look for problem that don't exist.  Instead of walking out on co-workers or abandoning your relationships because the guest's brother set up the office for failure is more of an issue of educating and coaching to remove the ignorance but is in no way racist.
KBOO ought to be called K-Get a Clue.
No will probably ever read this so you can continue spewing your ridiculous agenda.
Sincerely,
Chad.

<p>First of all Chad, you seem to be posting about a completely different show.&nbsp; However, since you mentioned it, this show does deal with racism as well as sexism, homophobia, and all sorts of oppression that it seems like you need to get a clue about.</p>
<p>This show also deals with empowerment.&nbsp; The power of the people to take back their rights.</p>
<p>If you don't like KBOO.&nbsp; Don't listen.&nbsp; If you don't want an abortion.&nbsp; Don't get one.&nbsp; If you wanna be a racist, be my guest because you are a dying breed.</p>
<p>End of rant.</p>
