Jesse Jackson

I loved the chapter in this excerpt about how Jesse Jackson is one of the people screwing up America. I completely agree that minorities should be treated fairly and everything but when you run down other groups of people doesn't that make you kind of hypocritical? If I was searching for equality I would use the old saying "treat others as you want to be treated", in myopinion you have to give respect to gain repsect. I know that the civil rights movement was a igger deal than this but still at least some of the same concepts should have been involved. Martin Luther King Jr. was a respectable man and he made positive impact on America without singling out certain groups and comparing them to the Nazi' Party. All in all Jesse Jackson went just a little overboard in his search for equality.
