I don’t remember slaves being paid 20+ million a year to dunk a basketball.....

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.

“And it's obviously tearing this country apart.”

You're so right. So much for the progress in race relations that the election of Obama was touted to signify. Ironically, the Obama administration has torn the scab off of race relations, and people like Jesse Jackson are eagerly pouring salt on the open wound.

No, it's not that deep. Jesse has just carved a financially lucrative niche in being a race hustling poverty pimp.
