Looks like they updated the article on the same day and he is better and breathing on his own. Kind of conflicting statements on the life support. Family says no and "another source" says medication as a "type of life support".

Not a hero, just a race hustler.

He grew up in South Carolina under Jim Crow laws! How could he be a race hustler?

"He grew up in South Carolina under Jim Crow laws! How could he be a race hustler?"

The term "race hustler" is defined as someone who exploits race issues for their own gain which fit Jackson to a "T". Ever wonder how a "reverend" like Jackson becomes a multi-millionaire (his net worth is around 9 million). Yes, he is not the only one to us religion to make big bucks, but he is one of them. His political career was based on him making race an issue even when there was no reason for it.

Hm, I’m not so sure. I think the current MAGA-fuelled climate is proof that the "race issue" never really went away. Arguably Trump is the biggest hustler of them all.

You may be right. You don't get rich and famous in NY being a nice guy.
