"Rev. Jackson, the Fat Lady is Singing"
Hitting the nail on the head!...
Larry Elder does just that at TownHall.com:
"Jackson, and his race-card-waving cohorts, derive stature, power, significance and self-enrichment by claiming that racism remains a serious problem in America. After complaining about the lack of minority beer distributorships, for example, Jackson's sons ended up with a lucrative Anheuser-Busch distributorship in Chicago. Author Kenneth Timmerman, in his book 'Shakedown,' describes the Jackson modus operandi -- playing the race card for self-enrichment, as well as that of friends and family.
Rather than display pleasure at America's obvious progress, or pride in his role in getting us there, the anachronistic Jackson now morphs into a shrinking, petulant, self-pitying 'leader' -- with little left to lead.
Good news for America; bad news for Jackson."
