Farewell Jesse Jr., We Hardly Knew Ye: A Lesson on the Limits of our Black Political Class

Sad.  Sad. Sad.  I walked with Mr Jackson, Sr. from Marietta, Ga to Atlanta one time in the 80's, I think it was? I have never been more impressed with an individual but I'm not sure he ever did much, really?  When Jesse, Jr. entered the picture, I thought that maybe with his father's experience and contacts that he would make a difference.  Then, nothing.

Same old black mis-leadership class!

“As far back as the 1960s, the biochemist W. Farnsworth Loomis had suggested that skin color is determined by the body's need for vitamin D. The vitamin helps the body absorb calcium and deposit it in bones, an essential function, particularly in fast-growing embryos. (The need for vitamin D during pregnancy may explain why women around the globe tend to have lighter skin than men.) Unlike folate, vitamin D depends on ultraviolet light for its production in the body. Loomis believed that people who live in the north, where daylight is weakest, evolved fair skin to help absorb more ultraviolet light and that people in the tropics evolved dark skin to block the light, keeping the body from overdosing on vitamin D, which can be toxic at high concentrations.”

Don’t expect too much from African or black American “leadership”.  Whites are no more than albino Africans.  There’s no reason why Presidents, Prime Ministers, or Kings of Kenya, Mali, Libya, or Ethiopia should be any better than Bush, Putkin, Sarkozy, or Berlusconi.

Jesse Sr. was once upon a time a giant because he appeared to stand and act on principle.  Not so much the case these past couple of decades.  Actually a huge disappointment at best and a standard bearer for the status quo at worst.

The Black Misleadership Class (as is the nature of politics in general) is all about "self-service."  The days of statesmenship and being civic-minded have give themselves over to the cesspool, banality, and nit-wittedness that we call "politics."

Look at the babel of fools in Congress and along Penn. Ave., look at the media that supports it.  Can you imagine Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, or Kennedy on SNL or Leno "campaining?"

The blame just doesn't rest with the Jesse Jrs. of this world, it rests squarely with US.  "We the People" have bought into the oakey-doak of name dropping and recognition-- something we inheritied from our white counterparts-- because we view it as a mechanism for moving on up a la George and Winnie Jefferson.

When I first came to the "D" I got tired of mofos talking about who they know and what their positions..... like I gave a good g**d***mn.  I'm looking at these so-called movers and shakers and the condition of the City and thinking what a bunch of clowns and dysfunctional twits they are.

Funny how we went from "Keep Hope Alive" to "Hope and Change" and both turned out to be pure B.S.   But with the melding of the infotainment/social media world with the world of politics and celebrity, don't expect this trend to abate. In fact, expect it to acclerate.

I can see it,  a few decades from now:  "Honey Boo Boo" for Governor, after all, I bet you Coach Nick Saban could become governor of Alabama anytime he wants.  Didn't "Joe the Plumber" run for Congress?

Objectively speaking, I think Jr. does suffer from some form of mental illness.  He did dumbsh**t that truly damaged him personally versus using his office for bribes and kickbacks.

Tragic yes, but arguably forseeable.  Absolute power will corrupt anyone.

I met Jackson while he was a law student at University of Illinois, Law School.  He made a case against our being in a predominantly white college.  He had some good things to say but nothing of originality.  For that speech, the school was paying him $6, 000.00.  In a way, he got embroiled in the corrupt politics of Chicago and the democratic party.  I think he just happens to be one of the victims of Rahm and his mafia's dragnet.  Every politician has some dirty laundry but it does not get exposed until you become a threat to or offend some more potent political forces.  To his credit, he voted against the Patriot Act, all the imperialist wars and even the bank bailout.  I just think they wanted to finish him politically so he never stood the chance of becoming Mayor of Chicago.  Those who are hurling stones at him should look in their closets. There are worse crimes overlooked. I am sad for him but politics is one bloody game.

Bi-polar condition used to be called Manic Depression.  My very close friend, was an art professor in his late 30s when he got sick with what finally got diagnosed as manic depression.  I knew him after his diagnosis was made, until his death many years later.  I have a woman artist friend who also has bi-polar.  Hers is controlled by medication, without any of the "ups" and "down".  My male artist friend was more severely disabled by his manic depression.  (Same illness, but I use the name each self friend called their illness.)

  The guy had manic episodes that made him act totally different than his usual.  He'd fall in love with a check out young woman in a supermarket, or think he was Christ.  Then he'd get his meds fixed.

  It is possible that J. Jackson Jr. acted like someone with bi-polar in manic mode, when he did those "odd" things.

Thanks for every other informative site. The place else may just I get that kind of information written in such an ideal means? I have a venture that I’m just now operating on, and I have been on the look out for such information. www.replicaorologi4it.com replique montres
