Can't really argue with that. However, I feel the need to point out he was a presidential candidate, so people did vote for him. Might have been before your time though.

Secondly he takes the leap and basically implies that Jesse Jackson is a determinate to the entire African American community. I mean WTF does that mean, we're being judged based on what Jesse Jackson does or says? How would you like for me to judge all Italians based on Antonin Scalia or Rudy Giuliani which are inividuals I and many like minded people don't think highly of? Are they leaders of the Italian American Community?

Judging by your comment here, this has apparently heated you up. All I was saying was clarification was needed on the comment. I was not agreeing or disagreeing.
I personally prefer to get riled up about more important things. Jesse Jackson shouldn't even be worth your time...everyone knows he's a joke.
