Steve Chapman has a solcumn from a couple days ago in the Chicago Tribune which recounts an incident of phony racism at Trinity International University. It involved an African-American student who hoped to persuade her parents to let her transfer by creating a phony racial incident wherein she mailed three letters to minority students. Mr. Chapman appropriately quotes Jesse Jackson as reacting to the incident by saying, "Racism, whether it is actual or manipulated, is morally wrong. We must work to clean up the environment that makes such a hoax believable."

What Jackson is suggesting is that we go after him and anyone like him who make their fame and even their living from stoking the fires of racism. Doesn't that make sense? Thanks for pointing this out, Jesse.
