Gary, I don't have time to write an adequate reply to your post but I can't let it pass without a response. I'm not going to get into a debate about Jesse Jackson per se. About that I'll just say that he's far from a perfect individual, I disagree with a lot of things he does, but I don't think he's deserving of your diatribe. In fact, I could probably take that diatribe, edit it a little bit and make it apply to virtually any political activist, liberal or conservative.

To the basic point. Racism exists in this country. It is pervasive and it is very ugly. Black people in this country have to deal every day with indignities that white people cannot even begin to imagine. Ad hominum attacks on human beings who fall short of your standards of perfection do not change that fact.
