The Rev. Jesse Jackson and LeBron James — what’s the difference?
James, even though a bit egotistical, does work hard for his millions.
Jackson, on the other hand, just works his foolish mouth. Has he ever done an honest day’s work in his life?
Is there anyone who wants to listen to his foolish chatter? Not I.

Jesse Jackson gets a bad rap. I recall a fund raiser I attended on Martha's Vineyard a few years ago. On the ferry crossing, a splendid Southern Belle lost her Sunday hat and it blew into the Vineyard Sound. Not missing a step, Jackson jumped overboard, walked across the water, snatched the hat and returned to a very gracious audience. Expecting the press to laud such a show of chivalry, I was a bit miffed when the next day's headlines read:
JESSE JACKSON CAN'T SWIM!

"[LeBron} James, even though a bit egotistical ... "
He qualifies as "a bit" egotistical? And what about The Pope? Fairly religious? And Yao Ming is kinda tall?

Joyce get over it; I would have been willing to go with you until you said has ever done an honest days work. We can talk about his failures all we want but the fact is Jessie has done a great deal for many of all races. its just unfortunate that hes over the years has become part of the political money machine with Alzheimer's mouth.
