Reverend Jesse Jackson does represent the needs of most African-Americans. As no one can quite represent the needs of an entire Universe because of varied ideas and thoughts, it is not surprising that some feel he does not and they are right to think that way.
The Reverend's belief about society and the culture does not necessarily have to suit everyone because we cannot all have the same attitude and thoughts to reality.
For example, no one wants to be a part of the slave trading, but then, one might find the bizarre personality who has a thing about the slave trading. Although no one has ever spoken it loudly that 'I will sell you into slave trade again'.
That would of course be outrageous.
Reverend Jesse Jackson tries to soothe the pain of African-Americans, tries to promote togetherness but strangely enough not everyone is interested for varied reasons.
The Reverend encourages people to live together rather than hold resentment, hate and malice. He cannot possibly believe that an African could have sold his own flesh and blood at the time to slavery, no one can believe it but sadly, it did happen many years back.
Reverend Jackson feels that by bringing the African-American together, there will be peace, there will be harmony and slave trade will never happen again. Sadly, no one can be responsible for anyone who decides to become a slave anyway , for any reason at all. It's like trying to stop pornography in any way at all, whereas, pornography can only disappear naturally because there is no one interested in patronizing it. And really, where there is no more moist, no one wants to get involved nor share their own moistened life.
So, for slave trade thoughts and violence to stop on the streets, something natural can be the only way out. We can all try to stop the killings, theft and deceit on the streets, but might find that people turn a deaf ear to it. However, something out there always put the stop to it and that is where Reverend Jackson has been lecturing and advising his fellow African-American's.
Really, it is a thing of shame for another black person to have sold another human to be milked aggressively and tortured into horrible slavery. It is a shock to everyone and that is why the Reverend encourages people all over the world to live in harmony and treat each other as brothers and sisters.
But then, who is your brother or sister because really, someone once sold his mother, brother and sister for a few cash although some of these people later were forced
