Recently in a CNN interview with journalist Audie Cornish, Jonathan Jackson, son of recently deceased civil rights icon Reverend Jesse L. Jackson and current candidate seeking re-election to congress representing Illinois 1st Congressional District boldly, and with no hesitation said,

“Republican blacks are like out of their minds, they’re insane on so many levels, and I would say that absolutely.”

Really??? Really, Jonathan???

Well, if I could respond directly to Congressman Jackson, I would say to him,

“It is interesting to me that the overwhelming majority of black people have been voting Democratic for over 60 years now and if challenged to honestly declare what this unfounded loyalty to Democrats has done for us, that answer would be a big, fat NOTHING!”
