Kudos to Mr. Jackson for being honest enough to admit what most of President Obama's black supporters won't.
In an interview with Ebony magazine, Jackson explained, "I voted for Barack because he was black. 'Cuz that's why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them ... That's American politics, pure and simple. [Obama's] message didn't mean [bleep] to me."
As I've said before, racism comes in all colors. Dr. Martin Luther King's dream is still a ways off, and in my opinion black Americans with the mentality of Mr. Jackson are a large part of the obstacle to it being realized.
