Jesse Jackson Speaks Out Condemns African Americans Who Beat White Boy on Bus

I am pleasantly surprised to hear that Jesse Jackson has spoken out against the three teenage African Americans who beat a white boy on a bus.

Jackson said, “We are trying to make contact with the family of the kid because we should discourage people attacking people, whether it’s black, white, white, black, black, that people should stop attacking people. We must learn to live together respectfully in a civilized way. And it becomes white, black, black white, it just makes matters worse, it does not make matters better.”

I am fully agree with Jesse Jackson. Everyone should respect one another regardless of skin color.  More black civil rights leaders need to come forward to denounce this type of behavior when it is committed by blacks. In my opinion it is wrong for them to ONLY speak up when something tragic happens to a black person at the hands of a white individual. If everyone speaks up more often when beatings occur whether it’s white on white, black on black, white on black, black on white maybe they would stop or at least decrease substantially.
