In 1943, when Benny brought his entire radio show cast to Canada at his own expense to perform for those in the various branches of the Canadian services, Anderson and his wife received a warm welcome.[31] Stateside, an incident was defused by Benny when, according to reporter Fredric W. Slater, Rochester was denied a room at the hotel where Benny and his staff were planning to stay in Saint Joseph, Missouri. When it was announced that Anderson could not stay there, Benny replied: "If he doesn't stay here, neither do I." The hotel allowed Anderson to remain as a guest.[32]
It was not the only time a hotel refused Anderson a room. Soon after he became part of the permanent show cast, the program went on location to New York. When a couple from the South complained about staying in the same hotel as Anderson, the hotel manager tried to get him to find a room somewhere else. Hilliard Marks, the show's producer and also Jack Benny's brother-in-law, told the manager that Anderson would leave the hotel the next day. When he did, Jack Benny and the entire radio show cast and crew totaling 44 people, joined Anderson in checking out of the hotel.[33]"

Jack Benny - Biography - IMDb
Jack Benny was a good person no doubt. But you see this is where the disconnection occurs. Benny should be credited, yet what so many whites miss is the fact that Benny was not in the majority. Also this story itself validates my comment. Now to some I am wrong for not overlooking the fact that Benny's manager should have taken a stronger stand, or that the hotel manager should have taken into consideration the 44 customers they lost because he didn't want to offend that white couple, or that I don't ignore the racism to focus on what Jack Benny did.

I feel sorry for you dude...
you're so filled with bigotry, so eaten up with hate, you refuse to acknowledge all people aren't as bad as you personally see them.
I'd hate to be you.
