Would it be tactless to say that the wheels have fallen off Jesse’s chariot?
Well, at least in his past life he saw himself working.
If he actually has BiPolar (or worse, Schizoaffective disorder like my son), then well, maybe it would be just a bit.
If the WaPo article is correct it sounds like he has had some sort of psychotic break. When my son had his first such break a few years ago, he had burst into the house one night in a panic, convinced absolutely that every car that was around him on the hiway was a terrorist trying to kill him. At the time, we didn't understand what we were witnessing, but now, thanks to our association with NAMI, we do understand it.
In the interest of full disclosure, I am now the coordinator for my state for the NAMI Family-to-Family education program - a 12 week course for families who have loved ones diagnosed with serious brain disorders.
I am no fan of Jessie Jackson Jr., but I would not wish a serious brain disorder like BiPolar on anyone - not even him.
Not that I am defending Jesse Jr., BUT
What is happening now, is due to his raising, his father's fault.
Imagine living in that weird world, hearing all the lies and trying as a child to wrap your head around those lies, when you know your white friends in school don't treat you like that. When you see your daddy tell lie after lie, then at the dinner table laugh at how he played it for big $$$. It's how you have this BIG HOUSE, SON. Learn the game.
Jesse Jr., had to play the Race Card game, even though he knew it to be a lie and that is most likely what drove him insane. Just a theory.
