Excellent article, by the way. Did you know Jackson got his start by promising dramatic improvements in education ... and then used most of the grant money to line his pockets? Embarassing. It's even more embarassing when you see that people listened to him for so long, and some do to this day.

Thanks!

Jesse's "Operation Breadbasket" was supposed to help with education and feeding people in the inner cities of America. Well, Breadbasket ultimately became Operation PUSH, and finally the PUSH/Rainbow Coalition. The sad thing was that there were many things that he put forth early on that were ultimately good, and extensions of Dr. King's overall work. But Jesse's true colors gradually came out, and we were left with the creature that we have to play with today. Too many people are following him and his ilk like lemmings, and they refuse to stop and think for a moment just how inane and stupid he (and they when parrotting him) sound!

I'm curious - what did Breadbasket actually advocate, and what did it accomplish?

I occasionally see Jackson turn to conservative themes of self-reliance, education and independence, which makes his hard left "blacks are owed a living" theme all the more disquieting.
