Context;
Local radio talk show discussing the anniversary of the April 27th tornadoes. Subject was how people reached out and helped out one another, even if they didn't' know one another.

The conversation went something like this, or as best as I remember;

Host: Hi, welcome to XXXX your on the air.
Caller: I just wanted to tell of something that happen after that horrible day.
Host: Go ahead.
Caller: Well, there was this black lady wh (sudden cut off)
Host: There is no reason for that, lets go to our next caller. Hey, Welcome to XXXX your on the air.

I have no clue who the caller was so of course I have no way of knowing what she was going to say. I will speculate, and it is just speculation based on the previous callers I would have expected a story of how someone of one race who helped someone of the other, but I will say once again that is just speculation on my part. Also, if this was a story of bettering race relations we will never know because the host assumed it was going to be a bigoted comment and stopped it.
