Run Jesse Run

As reported earlier today in The State, Jesse Jackson launched another racially motivated criticism against presidential hopeful Barack Obama for “acting like he’s white.” According to this article:

Jackson sharply criticized presidential hopeful and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for “acting like he’s white” in what Jackson said has been a tepid response to six black juveniles’ arrest on attempted-murder charges in Jena, La. Jackson, who also lives in Illinois, endorsed Obama in March, according to The Associated Press.

Jesse - perhaps it is the case that there is more to this election than race. In fact, Obama just may be doing the right thing by avoiding the exploitation of black people. Jesse continues:

“If I were a candidate, I’d be all over Jena,” Jackson said after an hour-long speech at Columbia’s historically black Benedict College.

Perhaps this is why Jesse Jackson will never be perceived as more than an incredible hypocrite spin-doctor for self serving causes.

“Jena is a defining moment, just like Selma was a defining moment.”

Talk about defining moments. Do you remember Knoxville, TN? This is the scene of a grizzly murder where couple Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian were murdered by a gang of 5 black perpetrators.  This crime wasn’t “useful” to the mainstream media; it’s not useful to you either?

Jesse - go home.
