Jesse Jackson: Jackie Robinson West’s Punishment Is Inappropriate And Racist

After investigating allegations that several players on JRW do not reside within the team’s district borders, LLB stripped the team of both it’s Great Lakes Regional and U.S. national titles.

From what I’ve heard, this isn’t the first time a team has been disqualified for this.

Rules do not apply to black people, accordimg to Je$$ie. Whenever he plays the race card, he avoids the essential quession: Did they break the rules?

There was a term used in Si Fi in the Fifties that describes Jackson to a tee...

“Bug Eyed Monster”.

Obeying rules and the law is totally racist. Whites must comply. Blacks no way. Elections have consequences.

From what I can gather, it was a case of “they all do it”, and I don’t know that these violations were particularly egregious. I haven’t seen them spelled out in any detail. I’m supposing they all lived in the area, just not within the boundaries spelled out ... but maybe they did stretch things too far.

I did read that the complaint was made by a local rival, who they are saying has committed the same kind of violations in the past, and this seems to be where the B vs. W angle originates.

It looks like they routinely move boundaries around as a means of making trades which is within the rules but in this case not everybody was getting the same map.

But Jesse cradled a dying MLK, Jr. in his arms.
Or maybe it was Ralph Abernathy. Or Brian Williams.
Who cares?
All these spoil sports demanding truthfulness from public figures are ruining a lot of good stories.

You know how nobody had standing to question the Won’s background and eligibility in court? Well, Jesse has no standing here either.
