or are they just race-baiting poverty pimps getting richer by bilking corporations for pseudo-discriminatory lawsuits?

Sounds like you already know the true answer. Where are these "reverend's" churches anyway?

Why do you say "pseudo-discriminatory"? If they won some cases, then in the eyes of the law, they were discriminatory.
But I see what you mean. You wonder why they play the race card so much, whine and ***** about the poor black man while themselves are richer than most white men they want to sue uh?
I think back in the 50s, 60s , they did help their people. Jackson did walk with MLK and was a pretty charismatic leader for the black community. I don't know how it all went downhill.
Maybe they're not as PC as people would want them to be, maybe they got old, maybe they couldn't make up excuses anymore for the black community and started sounding redundant.....
That person above that said Bill Cosby got the right idea, he was right.

I'm one of the older folks here, so I remember Jesse Jackson from way back when, when he actually seemed to do good. He's not that today. I've never cared for Al Sharpton. They both seem to stir the "racist pot" instead of being helpful to anyone but themselves. Bill Cosby's got it right for any person of any color! He speaks wisdom and look how he gets treated. But, that's usually how it goes.

No to the first one, yes to the second. Bill Cosby has it right though.

I think they're keeping "their people" down by encouaging the "Woe is me pity party." They should listen to Bill Cosby.

What do you mean by "their own people"? Who are the people?
I do not judge people I do not know nor the people I know. You should do the same.

their value and service to Afro-Americans and racial harmony speaks for itself. And unless you have some inner circle first hand knowledge that proves otherwise then you owe it to yourself to find another way to add value to our society without trying to bring others down.
