Are we about to see another version of MLK come on the scene? Remember that Jesse Jackson was a hanger-on with MLK during his days of marches and "We Shall Overcome." That is the same Jesse that 'criiiied' when Obama won the election; the same one who can't wait to go before the cameras to proclaim that he blazed the trail for Obama. I'm sure that he is secretly waiting for some type of presidential reward for all his efforts.Originally Posted by Chubminnow
Last night I heard Larry King tell Jesse Jackson and Ralph Abernathy III that Jesse was the first black politician to run for president and that it had a great influence on politics and Obama's election. Abernathy's father was a cohort of Jackson and MLK. It looks like we have come full circle and that's what worries me. I'm not playing the race card here, I'm just stating the facts.
