Jesse Jackson - 2 sides

Me mum wrote this to me this morning…I found it funny and true.

“I found this really funny. Jackson and many like him, symbolize our inability to laugh at ourselves, at our heroes, who, after all, weren’t perfect. There’s also this double standard - criticize others while doing some of the same things ourselves. The public persona versus the private persona. We’re going nuts today over what’s correct and not correct, what will disturb others and especially, what “image” is being protrayed. xoxo ”

I guess I’m supposed to be one of the “THEY” Mr. Jackson recently preached about, the ones who took everything from him and “his” people. This was a truly evil “sermon.” He’s one of the most racist, divisive people on the earth. His only interest is in promoting himself by using the most blatant racisim in his listeners. He is a very bad man for doing this, and is not a “man of God.”
He is promoting hatred and keeping the hate alive through his “preaching.” He has the media eye, is on TV all the time, and after just watching one of his church “preachings” I am apalled he has any status whatsoever.

Jesse Jackson is among the worst individuals in this country as far as trying to heal old wounds. All he does is preach about how minorities should receive everything free. Why don’t we ever hear him talk about getting minorities educated and urging them to get an education and work hard in order to obtain all the things he wants them to receive for free. He makes me sick.
