... Holy shit. The guest just told you he wasn't allowed to use the toilet, drinking fountain & numerous other common items when performing, and that older stars told him that was a piece of cake compared to what they went through. You changed the topic. You are GROSS GROSS GROSS. All you would have had to do is acknowledge the comment, or ask what worse the elders endured. You could have...
You suck shit, Snorway. The guest told you about suffering, something about aging but you failed to at least say one word of acknowledgement before going back to some other topic. You could have said, "Yeah. (Pause). And the wineries?" which would have at least acknowledged his statement about physical suffering. IT IS NOT EVERY DAY A BLACK MAN TALKS ABOUT PAIN. HE PUSHED PAST GENDER AND RACIAL STEREOTYPES AND YOU TOTALLY MISSED IT...
Not to defend George, because you're right about the disgusting way he mishandled all this (I take your word for it since I don't listen), but he does the same thing to every guest regardless of topic.
He seems not to listen to the guests at all, and instead just waits for them to stop talking to read the next item from his stack of prepared questions. The guest could have been talking about Mickey Mouse, what he had for breakfast, or his experiences being discriminated against - George wouldn't know or care.
He cuts people off in the middle of sentences when they are just taking a breath, cuts them off after having spent a certain amount of time building up to the point they are about to make, cuts them off after they make an astonishing comment that cries out for a follow-up - so what the hell, why not cut them off when they are talking about segregation.
