This is an insult to the memory of slaves, not to mention common human decency and is nothing but self-aggrandizing race baiting.

If we as Americans can’t publicly denounce disarm Jesse Jackson’s racism, how are we going to save this country?

Must be referring to his running away from higher tax rates.

And that's what makes the comment so ridiculous and racially biased.

Obviously, there's an all consuming racial animosity in Jackson that is gratified by capitulation and moral, social and economic self flagellation by whites.

And it's obviously tearing this country apart.

Not too many of them could just walk away either.

When Jessie Jackson dies, it will be a good thing.

Shit, for 20mil a year, I’d call the owner “massah” if he wanted.

Runaway slave, indeed. Remind me again... what is the state income tax rate in Florida?

Is anyone in the MSM (or elsewhere) pointing this out?

That may be true, but he sees white players as slaves, too.

Sharpton is probably pissed that Jesse beat him to the punch.

The master of hyperbole is at it again. Jackson also can not pass up a change to invoke slavery. But he has gone so far this time that it will probably backfire on him. Though it is fun to watch him come up with more entertaining assertions.

If journalists were honest, the headline would read:

Striving for relevance, Jesse Jackson says Cavs owner sees LeBron James as a runaway slave

I’ll do it for 1 million a year. I’ll even live in the shed behind his house.
