“It is time for us to turn to each other, not on each other.”

- Reverend Jesse Jackson -

Black folks are still not free in America.

Despite a four year civil war  in which more than 600,000 Americans sacrificed their lives, despite an Emancipation Proclamation that cost our greatest President his life, despite Brown v. Board of Education which, with all deliberate speed, resulted in Supreme Court justices being hung and burnt in effigy and despite the landslide victory of our first black President, African Americans still have to think the way their masters tell them to think.

But their masters aren’t white people anymore.

Courtesy of the Wall Street Journal, listen to self-anointed black leader, the very Reverend Jesse Jackson (video of Jackson saying Obama “should have his nuts cut off” for disagreeing with him), talk about a member of his own race who merely happens to hold an opinion he dislikes:

When Alabama Congressman Arthur Davis voted against the health-care bill that passed the House earlier this month, he probably expected some grief from fellow Democrats. But he couldn’t have anticipated being accused of selling out his race.

Mr. Davis was the only black Member to oppose the legislation, and his vote earned him a rebuke from Jesse Jackson at a Congressional Black Caucus Foundation reception Wednesday night. “We even have blacks voting against the health-care bill,” said Mr. Jackson. “You can’t vote against health care and call yourself a black man.”

Who’s the real race traitor here, Mr. Jackson? Arthur Davis, the man who voted his conscience without regard to his skin color, or you, the man who attempts to extort other black men to get them to support your own political agenda?

Jackson (and his ilk, Harry Belafonte and, to a lesser extent, Al Sharpton) has been doing this kind of crap for four decades. Who the hell anointed him arbiter of all things African American, anyway?

And make no mistake about it, it is extortion. Your Dictionary.com defines the term this way (emphasis added):

The wrongful taking of something of value from another by the threat of force or other coercive measure.

The thing of value the extremely Reverend Jesse Jackson wants to take from the Arthur Davis’s of the world is their independent judgment. Sadly, the only way race hustlers like Jackson can retain and consolidate their power is by threatening to slander anyone who strays from the plantation of their ideas.

You don’t see Caucasian, Asian and Hispanic people doing this to one another. Sure there are heated disagreements among the members of those groups, but you’ll never hear a Latino leader say to a hispanic man, “”no puedes votar contra healthcare y llamarte Latino.”

So how does the slimeball Jackson continue to get away with this vile nonsense?

Easy! He blackmails the media, too.

The main stream media won’t criticize Jackson for his loathsome antics because they fear he will call them racist and arrange a boycott of their advertisers. The fear is understandable because Jackson has a history of making good on his threats and has made millions from these race-hustling shakedowns.

The Reverend is an outrage. Has anyone in history made more money, garnered more fame or wielded more influence as a result of racial discord than him?

Jesse Jackson isn’t racism’s enemy, he’s its benefactor.

Let’s take a moment to compare the accomplishments of Mr. Jackson with those of Congressman Davis. You know, to see who’s “blacker.”

We’ll start with the non-black man, Arthur Davis (emphasis added):

• Davis was born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama, and was raised by his mother and grandmother. He graduated from Jefferson Davis High School and then magna cum laude from Harvard University in 1990 and received his J.D. cum laude from Harvard Law School before returning to Alabama.
• He was the recipient of the Best Oralist Award in the esteemed Ames Moot Court Competition at Harvard Law School.
• After working as an intern at the Southern Poverty Law Center and then as a civil rights lawyer, he served as an assistant United States Attorney.
• Congressman Davis has emerged as a leader on issues related to housing, education, and health care. As a freshman, he led the successful fight to reverse funding cuts for minority land grant colleges including Tuskegee University.
• As a second term member, Congressman Davis won a floor fight to restore funding to the HOPE VI program for renovating public housing; he persuaded over sixty Republicans to vote with Democrats to save HOPE VI.
• In 2005, the congressman was the lead Democratic sponsor of a bill establishing a national cord blood bank, which will widen the availability of blood transfusions for thousands of patients who suffer from diseases such as sickle cell anemia and diabetes.
• He received an “A” grade on his voting record relating to veteran issues from Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

Next is the paragon of blackness, the supremely Reverend Jesse Jackson:

• Was on the balcony when Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot.
• Shook down Budweiser Beer.
• Fathered a child out of wedlock (as an example to black youth everywhere).
• Rhymed often
