Spence said, quote: "Like Him or hate Him Jackson is one of the few who has stood up for minorities..."

Yes, he has stood up for minorities ONLY when it has suited his purpose - and has offered the chance for the limelight. The man excels in self-promotion and making money by means of his Rainbow Coalition. (Now the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition.)

quote: "His work has gained Him numerous awards including the Presidential Medal of Freedom."

One word: "Tokenism."

quote: "He may sound like a nutcase to you at times, but remember...A) you're not His audience..."

But we ARE his target audience. You don't get offerings by addressing poor folks. They're usually tapped out. Quite naturally, he goes after the money.

quote: "...and B) the squeaky wheel gets the grease"

A somewhat dangerous analogy, sir.

PS: 'Can't help but noticing your use of the capital "H" when typing "Him." It suggests that he is a some sort of deity. I assure you, sir, he is not.
