Making things worse suits him just fine. Spend some time in his home town if you want real insight into his antics. Often those claiming to be the uniters and healers are at the top of the racist heap. All of this may be true. If space aliens invaded the planet, CNN could count on Jesse Jackson to issue a statement blaming it all on racism. Nevertheless, just because Jesse Jackson says that racism has played a part in the suffering in New Orleans does not mean he is wrong. I think racism has a great deal to do with poverty, ignorance, and the breakdown of social and family structures in the city. I would even go so far as to claim that many of these problems stem from people who, with perfectly good intentions, have been attempting to help people they genuinely believed incapable of helping themselves. Racism was at the heart of creating a dependency culture in New Orleans, and this is the result. Come to think of it, even Jesse Jackson has said something like that from time to time. Maybe he is a closet conservative. :-) |
