Jackson came to College Station, TX, and gave a campaign speech at Texas A&M University, supposedly one of the most racist, hick-filled schools in America. He was received politely by a student-packed auditorium and gave a good stump speech, for a racist, liberal Democrat with zero chance to win office. No metal detectors, no ID checks, no screenings of attendees were used. Aggies are nice, even to folk we don't necessarily like much.<br /><br />IN the audience, men in dark suits kept a close eye on a student with a rolled-up towel in his hands, who had come to the speech from the gym, apparently. Nothing in the towel, as the kid showed by unrolling it casually, when he realized two men had moved directly behind him in case it held a firearm. <br /><br />The Rev. Jackson won great applause by stating that he knew he, or any other Black person, could be elected president because just recently, even A&M had gotten a Black quarterback. Of such local knowledge is a political success crafted.mikeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875483485290838207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-54471334405081171032016-05-12T09:18:42.044-05:002016-05-12T09:18:42.044-05:00I'm never surprised when Jesse Jackson doesn&#...I'm never surprised when Jesse Jackson doesn't know something so I guess I can't be surprised when he doesn't know someone.
