Let My People Go

Rev. Jesse Jackson compared professional NFL players to slaves Monday, saying that athletes have gone, “from picking cotton balls to picking footballs and basketballs without freedom.” [More]
The best way to deal with slavers is to destroy them. And tear down their monuments to oppression.

And is he sure he didn't mean bolls?

One would think a race hustling weevil would know a cotton boll when he sees one.

Well, it's a great bargaining chip. Maybe get an extra million or two.

Football (and basketball, baseball, etc.) players have contracts which pay the equivalent of winning the lottery every single year, but they're the ones being "oppressed"?
