GERALD WALKER COMMENTARY: Jesse Jackson Vs. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The 17-year-old conservative Republican recounts a recent church discussion where he expressed disapproval of today's black 'leadership' — and was called a sellout — and vociferously took issue with another person's claim that Rev. Jackson was the greatest U.S. black leader since Dr. King: "No black leader has done more things for the African American community than Dr. King. Dr. King was a real activist, a national figure, and he sent civil rights in new directions. During a time of oppression to blacks, Dr. King let everyone know that they were 'Somebody' and gave blacks and poor people dignity, a sense of hope....Jesse Jackson is a profiteer who with the help of the liberal media has co-opted Dr. King's dream and turned it into a nightmare."
