Rev. Jesse Jackson attempts to jump into the mix, cracker barrel , ducks, and raceism .

Subject...Rev. Jesse Jackson attempt to jump into the mix, cracker barrel , ducks, and racism.
Jesse Jackson, always being an opportunist, has decided that he had spotted an opportunity to wedge himself into the "Duck Dynasty’ controversy," and, as was to be expected, he had to throw race into the picture even though the trouble over Phil Robertson’s comments about homosexuality had absolutely nothing to make anyone but Jessy Jackson see racism in Phil Robertson's comments.
The comment that Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty made was about  homosexuality, not anything to do with racism but that fact didn't stop Jessy Jackson from interjecting himself between the Cracker barrel in response to their thoughts of what the  public reaction might be and the problems Phil Robertson had with his TV program employers, over his comments about homosexuality.
Jesse Jackson,not to let the facts get in his way made a giant stretch and made a comparison between two totally different situations, one involving Rosa Parks refusing to move from where she was seated on a bus and then the comments Phil Robertson made when asked about what his thoughts were about homosexuality as his Bible and his Religion had taught him to believe.
Jesse Jackson jumped in to what he believed was just another game that he had  played many times before of projecting race into any problem and everyone involved would cave and he would get a little something out of it for himself for interjecting himself into the problem but this time, its different, this time, there is massive public support for Phil Robertson's right to freedom of speech, and the right to express his thoughts when asked. This is one battle Jesse Jackson may wish he hadn't involved himself in, Cracker barrel had a change of heart and put Duck Dynasty’s merchandise back in there restaurants, its not too late Jesse...
