Really Jesse Jackson plays the race card and says stuff just for attention. Groundbreaking article.

It doesn't take much for Jesse Jackson to perceive something as "racist".

So many blacks try to provoke racism out of whites so they point to that as their personal reason for lack of success.

Wow, you just opened up another can of worms with this insane generalization. This article talks about how Jesse Jackson hasn't moved with the times, and it is clear you belong in the same boat as him.

It's a good article. But in the end, coverage like this and from other writers only encourages Jackson to make similar addle-brained (that's the real problem) comments like this in the future.

Its the only way Jackson can stay relevant.

He has already been caught on tape saying that Obama's election would be the worst thing that could happen to his message/image/business.

just like sharpton, you have to make racism exist to make money..... both of them including malcolm x do the same thing.... i'm pretty sure i've heard walton and johnson say the malcolm x lives in an exclusive gated community in houston "basically all white".......
i'm not saying this is whats wrong with the world, but these guys are trying to keep us back, so they can benefit with monetary gains..

Malcolm X lives? Does Elvis live next door to him?

I'm sure, that's who he's talking about.....and Quanell lives in one of Houston's many Master Plan Communities......not some exclusive gated neighborhood....I live in the same community and I can tell you we are not the only two black or brown people around...far from it....I can't lie, it's funny to see him around amongst the whitest of white folks though....Just for the record, he has toned done his rhetoric in the recent years, not nearly the shite starter he was in the past....actually has done some good things....
