Sigh. That was Rev. Jesse Jackson's response regarding whether his much-publicized Obama criticism is rooted in jealousy.
Jesse, seriously, just stop saying things! No disrespect, but we all know that anytime a man threatens another man's baby-sacks there is some hate in the game and it's not a good look. Sadly, we also realize that there is absolutely no way you are going to let go of the limelight you covet now that somebody is finally paying attention to you again.
No one denies that we stand on the backs of you and all those who served on the frontlines of the struggle. Just because there have been no cameras in your face of late, doesn't mean we have forgotten about you. That said, however, you have had more than anyone's share of shine and your contributions have been acknowledged - over and over again.
I implore you to let us all get back to the business of electing our first black president and leave this foolishness behind - for the sake of the legacy of your past accomplishments and for all of our futures.
