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.

Those are the themes that Operation Breadbasket emphasized! The idea was to help people help themselves up by their own bootstraps! The gist was to help teach people skills that would help them move forward.

Then (to parhaphrase an old Porsche ad), we woke up.

Well, this seems like a wise idea indeed, and one virtually any reasonable individual (of whatever race) could warmly support.

What did it amount to in concrete terms - that is, what did Jackson actually do?
