On Sunday, an ordinary C-SPAN segment quickly transformed into a rare and moving conversation about racial attitudes in America, when a white man called in to admit he is prejudiced and wanted to change to "be a better American." Gary, an independent voter from North Carolina, told Heather McGhee, the segment's African American guest and president of Demos, an organization working to promote equal opportunities, that his views were the result of certain fears about drugs and the country's crime rate. "I understand that they live in an environment with a lot of drugs, you have to get money for drugs," he told McGhee.
