You've made a very valid point that many cannot say.

Meet the guy in person and your feelings about him will change.


What I don't understand is why some of the posters act like they REALLY hate the guys guts.

There is not one person I dislike that much. Heck, I'm neutral when it comes to most people.

Default What a stupid thread

Jesse Jackson is a man who has always fought against an element that has plagued this society for centuries: white racism and bigotry against black people. He represents the moral high ground and his kind will always have a place in this society far more superior than those who criticize him. Exposing and fighting bigotry is not "race-baiting." What a load of collosal crap.

Shame that this happened to him, but what he stands for is absolutely just and right.

So buzz off, feeble haters.

Jesse Jackson and moral high ground used in the same sentence. Now that's humor!!! I guess you can still have moral high ground while having an affair then fathering a "love child", pays off the mother then is no father figure to the child. All this while he was supposed to be Clinton's "Spiritual Advisor". This is just one example. Whatever. This thread is going to go down the crapper fast and I'm not gonna stick around for the implosion.

The incident took place in Detroit. All of his "operations" are political in nature. This should be moved to the detroit or politics forum.
