Please don't just gloss over and then discount what she's written.
If you do, you've joined the masses that trivialize and marginalize our Brothers and Sisters of Color, discounting their truths because you just don't want to see the pain that still exists in this country.
When you deny another person's truth, you deny their very being.
Think about it.

Jesse, Shut Up!!
Attn: Jesse Jackson
Dude, you must be getting old. To actually think that a mike is turned off? OMG, dude, what were you thinking? Haven't you walked this road before?
And to talk mess about Obama on top of it?
OK, Jesse, what is up?
I find it hard to believe that you did this "by accident". What was your goal? Why are you trying to undercut Obama? What are you trying to distract the American public from?
Jesse, since MLK's death, you've been working to stay in front of America's cameras. Yes, I do want to believe that your intentions were and are good. You have done many good things in the past. You've brought attention to many important issues that may well have been swept aside without your efforts to expose the truth.
But dude, a whole lot of people remember what happened that sad day when MLK was murdered. You were NOT with him, next to him, on that balcony. But you sure ran to get in front of the cameras. You tried to jump up into MLK's place with a story that was blatantly untrue. People still hold that against you.
Jesse, if you want Obama to win, you need to shut up!
Yes, you heard me. Shut up and sit down and let the man work the crowds. He doesn't need your help. Hard as it may be for you to accept, he knows EXACTLY what he's doing and he doesn't need you trying to pump up the volume.
Obama is the new wave, the wave of the future. Whether he wins or loses, America is talking. America is taking note of the new Black man.
Obama is the face of Black America right now.
Jesse, shut up and let the man work!!
