Re: "Jackson forfeits leadership." Yes, Bill Webster is correct. "Racism is alive and flourishing."

But what he left out goes something like this: If you are black (or Republican), you are despised by those who are black (or Democrat). If you are black (or Republican), some of your white Republican associates still wish you wouldn't show up at the tee or the high tea!

But like [the characters] Tripp (Denzel Washington) and Colonel Shaw (Matthew Broderick) said to each other in the movie "Glory," "Ain't nobody clean... so what do we do now?"
