"First of all, Jessica Lynch deserves all the treatment that she is getting," Jackson said. "She was a victim of Iraq, and the Army built around her this caricature of American bravado. They said she was shot and stabbed and shot to the last bullet, and she did not say that, and that did not happen. But they sought to use her as a propaganda tool for American bravado."

How nice of Mr. Jackson to concede this. It's a good thing he's around or our people would forget all about racism because they would see there is no real difference between black and white when it comes to things that count. But with Jackson always sniffing out insults and slights, even or maybe especially, where none is intended, how can we ever forget these supposed "differences"? Any time a white makes more than a black, it's considered a racial slur. It apparently never occured to him that quite possibly the white might
deserve to get paid higher based on the job they were doing, or in this case, the nature of their injury.
Jackson and his ilk should give it up. There's only way to combat racism and that is teaching the people that they were all created, red and yellow, black and white, in the image of God and that there is only one race to which we all belong. "From one man, He has made all men," said the Apostle (Acts 17:26) and modern science confirms it. But don't hold your breath for Jesse Jackson and his "equal (superior in the common tongue) rights" brigade to be using this approach. After all, if they acknowledge God as the creator of a single race of which we are all a part, it's not very special to be a "minority" and their constituency might begin to think of themselves as...horrors! brothers with the other people of the world. Then it will be too hard to feel sorry for themselves, and that's really all Jackson wants. Because then he can manipulate them easier.
