Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton
I came across a great commentary by Jason Whitlock (or Fatlock as my friend Eric calls him) of the Kansas City Star that is a remarkably good piece on the hypocrisy of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson in their dealings with the Don Imus mess.
Whitlock is normally a sports reporter, whom you may have seen on ESPN at one time but he now works for AOL Sports now in addition to the Star because he wouldn't act "Black Enough" (Stephen A. Smith, Scoop Jackson) in his words for the suits at ESPN.
This article is a follow up from this one the other day

The best point he makes in my opinion is:
Jesse and Al cause division for profit, and demand from others the very things they’re unwilling to do — judge people on the content of their character and follow the truth wherever it leads, regardless of color.
Here is the latest article and follow up to the one I posted above.
