unfortunately jesse's "reputation" as a black leader still gets him the air time - friday morning on one of the network morning shows they had an interview with him. he was, of course, saying the election was stolen, and that he's going to have a march in protest of bush, etc, same riot inciting stuff he's been doing, and the person interviewing him didn't say a thing in rebuttal....
after this interview, it's obvious that, instead of trying to do things to fix the situation, certain people are just trying to buildup more fuel for the fire. people like jesse jackson, al sharpton, diane watson (of la riot fame who said something along the lines of "the people are angry, so they have the right to express themselves" as night fell the first day of the riots and flames engulfed the city) do more to harm race relations than improve them. whenever a nonblack race does something to a black person, they are immediately there screaming oppression, discrimination, and racism, but when there is an incident where the situation is reversed, where are they? why aren't they there to stand for the rights of the nonblack person? so much for bringing people together and equality for all...
reminds me of something -
