Racist Message Sent To Charter Cable Subscribers’ TVs Even when we’re just minding our own damn business trying to enjoy an “Martin” re-run, we’re STILL inundated with racism. Via Fox4News Some Charter Cable customers in North Texas are furious about a profane message that appeared on their televisions through the company’s network. Charter has apologized for what happened, but some who are upset over the racially offensive message say an apology is not enough. Keisha Smith said her 14-year-old daughter was first to see the offensive message at her home. When she called Charter to complain, a company rep offered her a cash credit. “He was like, ‘For your personal account, I can give you a credit of $50,’” Smith recalled. “I was like, ‘That’s it? That’s all you are going to do to resolve this issue? A $50 credit?’” Charter has no explanation, but issued the following statement: “We are aware that an abhorrent message briefly appeared on some set top boxes. We apologize profusely to any of our customers who were subjected to it, and we are working to understand the cause.” You hear that? Our sense of dignity and safety is only worth a $50 credit.
