I'm going to say what Jackson would say

From MSNBC.com
MONROE, Ga. - Civil rights activists marked the 59th anniversary of an unsolved lynching Monday by re-enacting the brutal slayings of two black couples who were forced out of their car by a mob of white men and killed.

The scene was recreated with black volunteers acting as Ku Klux Klansmen, fireworks for gunshots and fake blood poured on for effect.

It is disrespectful to use blacks in place of whites. (Jackson would have a fit of any whites replacing blacks in any reenactment, I'm certain).

Reenacting something this horrific is simply showing support of it. (Jackson would have a fit if whites reenacted something like this to show protest.)

I guess my point is that there is a terrible double standard in all things race related. That double standard is making race relations more difficult. Hold one standard. Jesse, ask yourself if you would rather whites doing whatever you are doing. If you would not mind then go ahead...otherwise stop what you are doing.

The double standard is killing any racial harmony. Understand that.
