"The latest development is all the more controversial given Jackson's history, not just as a civil rights leader but as a minister and crusader against use of that word in particular. Devoted to the idea that language can transform the way people think, Jackson has repeatedly urged the entertainment industry to stop using the word. He even urged a boycott of sales of "Seinfeld" DVDs after actor Michael Richards used the word in a stand-up routine."


I wonder if he is going to boycott himself?

I am a pretty liberal person, but I cant stand Jackson. IMHO, he is a disgrace. I put him in the same catgory as Don King

I think he has a hard time with seeing a new generation of people who take a different approach to race relations. The guy was marching with Dr. Martin Luther King back in the day, and it's a different world now. I feel bad, but his words are inexcusable.
