Telephone Conversation Summary

An African man is looking for a rental room. He finds an advertisement in a newspaper. In the ad, it is written that there is no problem with race.
Man previously had bitter experiences with such ads, so he decides to make a telephone call to the landlady from a public telephone booth.
He tells the lady that he is a black man and asks her if it is acceptable. The lady hesitates in asking if he is completely black or half black.
When the man responded to her by saying that he is not completely black because his palms and soles are white, the lady goes silent.
She hangs the phone even though the man pleads for her to at least meet him once in person and check if he is totally black.
