I have been getting telegrams by the score urging me to comment on the latest Jesse Jackson 'N' word flap. Why should I? No one else in this country has the nerve to stand up and call Jesse Jackson what he really is - a charlatan bottom-feeder who leeches off the worst society has to offer in order to pay his rent - so we'll all just act indignant for a day or two because we think it's the right thing to do.
The most consistent person in the arena of fools currently charged with telling us what to think about race in this country is Al Sharpton. In spite of his stupid past he actually makes sense most of the time.
If Obama was truly a leader, he'd step up and tell everyone to simmer down a bit so we could have an intelligent dialogue on race, but he can't or won't do that so why bother paying attention to any of it.
Here's the deal - racism exists in this country. So does stupidity, ignorance, avarice, and arrogance. I have been witness to racism and affected directly by it, both white on black and black on white. We all have. The people currently in charge of race relations in this country have had forty years to fix it and all they've done is perpetuate it in the name of job security. When we all stop being so mentally lazy and we begin to ignore the fools, things will change.
