Dear Rev Jackson,

Good to see you back in the news, bro. I caught your new gig at the rally in Jena last night. Got to admit, I've been so busy studying (college is way hard) that I haven't had time to pay attention to the news.

I turned up the volume once I saw you on TV, but I only caught the tail end of the segment. Question: What's the deal? The biased [white] media made it sound like six black guys piled onto one white guy and kicked the s*** out of him. Was he the guy that tried to lynch our brothers? Could you please let me know exactly what you're protesting against?

My black studies professor gives class credit for 'protesting' so I figure, why not get involved in the fight against racism. I feel kinda bad cause I, personally, haven't experienced any, but I hear there's a new kind of racism called institutional racism. Can you let me know what this is?

Since I owe you (and Reverend Sharpton) a big debt for the way you guys have been championing blacks, I figured it's time I got involved. Besides, it looked like everyone was having fun, meeting up and hookin up. And to be truthful dude, I can use the extra credit. Like I said, college is way hard.

You can contact me on my cell 555-3387, or my Blackberry 555-3856 or text message me on my new iPhone or check me out on MySpace. Oops, almost forgot, you can also e-mail me at badblackdude@yaho,com. Can't wait to hear from you, man. I'm ready to do my part.

Hey, Jesse,

Way cool to hear from you, man. I sure appreciate you writing me back so quickly. Your reply blew me away. Boy, I had no idea America was still such a racist society! Go figure. Pretty clever how whitey has been fooling me all this time. I figured since I never saw or experienced any racism, that it wasn't there. Glad you set me straight. That 'institutional racism' is bad stuff. All the harder to fight cause it's invisible. Pretty sneaky of whitey, I must say.

I agree with you 100% that the only guy convicted in the assault of that racist white devil was discriminated against. Trying him as an adult at age 16...how low can you go? I also agree that it was way sneaky of whitey to dismiss the ...

No matter how thin the pancake, there are always two sides.

My personal thoughts on Jackson are as follows:

!. He is not a representative of Christ. His liberal views are completely against that which Christ teaches.

2. He is a hate monger. He continues to preach the past to the African American community and continues to re-open old scars and wounds, not allowing healing to begin.

3. He does not preach forgiveness, as Jesus taught us to forgive. It is obvious that he wants the African American community to continue to be segregated from the Anglo American community.

4. He is arrogant and selfih. He continues to preach his messege of hatred and un-forgiveness to the African American community in order for him to be able to be in the spot-light. He is an egocentrical, arrogant, selfish, selfserving, hypocrit who cares little for the African American people he says he serves. The truth is, he wants to keep the african American community down so that he can lift himself up.

5. He preaches cowardess instead of bravery to African Americans. He teaches them to blame others for their problems instead of telling them to own up to their mistakes and learn from them, as Jesus teaches us to do.

Do all Anglo pastors teach their congregations love and frogiveness? No, they don't and those are the very one's whos Christianity we should question and hold them accountable for.

Love in Christ,

Phil C.
