His mother cringed at passing Black men on the street?

If I'm not mistaken, Jesse Jackson once said that he felt relieved when a group of guys he encountered at night turned out to be white and not black. I'll try to find a link to that story.

Does Clinton’s race panel listen to facts?

As Jesse Jackson said,

“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footstepsand start thinking about robbery — then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”
