As a kid I disliked Jesse Jackson because at a some social justice event where they served breakfast he cut the line and took the last of the sausage patties. I loudly called him out, embarrassed my parents and "ruined the event". Mr. Jackson talked to my parents and apologized. I got fussed at.

I once told Jesse Jackson I was a narrow band of his Rainbow Coalition; Jesse helped me win a congressional primary in 1984 & I was his VA state co-chair in 1988 when he ran for President; we won VA & went to the Democratic Convention; Jesse fought for liberty and equality.

Only in America, can you be a successful television star where others made millions off of you, and can't access healthcare without going bankrupt.
