LETTERS, Page 7Jackson -- Not a Problem
As an African American, I found your article "The Jackson
Problem" (NATION, Dec. 12) very sobering. It dispelled any
illusions I had of black people finally being taken seriously by
the media and politicians. Why is Jesse Jackson viewed as a
difficulty? Why are strategies being formulated to make him go
away? Why did you not berate these tacticians for their
insensitivity? I realize the white majority is tired of hearing our
complaints of the existence of racism. But the '80s have taught us
that this group cannot be trusted to monitor itself.
