I know why these companies give in to the Jackson shakedown (cheaper than fighting a propaganda battle), but I sure wish they wouldn't. Each time they do, it just emboldens him to keep doing it.

BP needs to take a lesson from Nike.
Nike told Jesse Jackson to F off when he tried to shake them down.

I love this quote:
"Jesse Jackson is bluffing a foreign company. He has virtually no ability to affect the consumer habits of Americans, or even African Americans. The reason he is going after BP is the same reason he threatened a boycott of Toyota in 2001. Executives of foreign companies are often under the misimpression that Jesse Jackson still commands wide respect in this country."

If that jackass ever tried to pull that stunt in my corporate offices, I'd have my own film crew there to verify that I told him to go straight to hell.
We have a program to manage any of his alleged "concerns" and no aspect of that program involves paying him blackmail!
