What Jesse and his son have done is maybe the thing most at the center of the poor's problem. How can Jesse possibly have the insight to help them?

The article doesn't mention this, but the candid photos show that Yusef believes in diversity when he picks whom to bed.

Two of Jesse Jackson's sons run a beer company?Yup...from Newsmax...
In conversation, the man I'll call him Joe quickly informed me he was an executive close to the Budweiser corporation. He said he could vouch for the accuracy of the account of Jackson's "shakedown" of Budweiser. As Timmerman writes, Jackson discovered that Budweiser had a poor record of having minorities head its distributorships.
Jackson used his standard tactics to get the beer company to give his son a lucrative beer distributorship on the outskirts of Chicago.
(At one point, to hurt Budweiser, Jackson had encouraged African-Americans to quit drinking alcohol because of the harm it had done to the black community. But that stopped once his family got the distributorship.)
Joe told me there was a lot more to the story. Jackson had actually been angling for a much bigger, more profitable distributorship in the New Jersey suburbs just outside New York City.
Budweiser cleverly maneuvered another minority into that position. Jackson was left with the Chicago outlet.
Joe, a Hispanic, noted that Jackson had a legitimate grievance about Budweiser. He added that Jackson, however, had little interest in making Budweiser actually reach out to minorities or create a real plan to fix its problems.
Instead, Jackson used his position and title to have Budweiser pay off his family to keep him quiet.
And that's the real story of Jesse Jackson.

Also, he did the same thing to Coca Cola and Kentucky Fried Chicken as well...
In the 1980s, Jackson geared up to attack Coca-Cola for doing business in South Africa. Coke responded quickly by awarding distributorships to blacks. The first to receive a Coke franchise was Jesse's half brother, Noah Robinson. Also in line: Cecil Troy, an Operation PUSH funder. Robinson got on the Jackson family gravy train a year later when Jesse negotiated a similar deal with Kentucky Fried Chicken. As Kenneth Timmerman reported in his 2001 book Shakedown, Robinson once said, "I told Jesse, 'If you just do the talking for us and I handle the financial operations we can rival the Rockefellers in riches.'"National Review

Black women are indeed discriminated against ... by black men.
