Whatever the case, the reasons for his resignation are racist.

You'd think that Jermaine would make an announcement of this importance.

And remember, his father STILL hasn’t apologized for spitting in white people’s food when he was a waiter.

I hope he gets the help he needs. It is not fun being ill. Prayers to him and his family at this difficult time. Thanksgiving and he has to go through this. Just awful.

How will Chicago ever find another Black manic depressant felon to fill his seat?

If Rep. Jackson quits, I hope that John Arrington will run, in the speical election. He’s a black conservative Republican, who was in the Harvey city council. He ran for the U.S. Senate, in 2010. About a week ago, I emailed John and asked him to run. I haven’t received a response.

I thought “Reverend” Jr. was a “rising star” in the commie ‘RAT party.
