(...Of course I can, since until I leave this editor I'm just talking to myself.) Does anyone one think that the Rev. Jackson might be a bit Racist? (Please don't flame at me! I'm not saying he is, I'm just asking.) When I came to Chicago 14 months ago, I was surprised to find that Rev. Jackson was not as big as a hero here as I thought he would be. Not that he isn't popular, but he doesn't seem to have the undivided support (even with Blacks) that I expected he would. And now with his previous statements that he wished the Jews would quite talking about the Holocaust and recent "candid" statements (which it appears he made to a Black reporter, assuming that the reporter agreed with his "sentiments" and would not quote him.) it might appear that Rev. Jackson is not as open minded as a "candidate for all the people" and a "man of the cloth" should be. Not that any of us are perfect, mind you, but what I think bothers me the most, is that he assumed that he could make gross generalizations putting down a race other than his to a member of his race, and that that person would, of course, agree. (Makes me wonder, anyway.) ...we13!ll1!cej Chuck Jones AT&T Communications
