    I had some really good Chinese take out last night,

    no one was picketing the restaurant,

        I think it's partly because Asians tend to work hard, practice thrift and get ahead. And that ain't fair!

            It bit Jesse Jackson Sr. more than once. Just a couple:

            He called a Jewish neighborhood By Hymie town. Called on it but no riots or media backlash. Only an apology.
            Demanded Kraft Foods hire blacks according to the percentages he drafted and submitted. So Kraft laid off black workers with a letter of explanation and his figures.
            Needless to say Rainbow Push was inundated with screamers waving paper.

            Kraft made good once Jesse swallowed his hurt pride and promised not to bother Kraft or its affiliates anymore. They hired back good workers and paid them for their time off.

            Then there's a list of boycotts which backfired

              I remember when he took a bus to New Orleans, intending to triumphantly return Blacks who had left during Hurricane Katrina. The bus had I think one or two people on it when it reached New Orleans.

                If I were on that bus and he were to start preaching his rhetoric, yelling, spitting, coughing up fur balls....
                I'd get off and thumb it back to NOLA too!
