He is the Uncle Ben on steroids embraced reluctantly by Ron Burkle and Geo. Soros types who have exposed his brood to financial security. His media investments alone place him in the millionaire category several times over. Any attack against his character or his mission is deemed jealousy or hatred or envy, but never perceived as justified by the facts of the disingenuous "do as I say do" mania he calls leadership.<br>The reverend has established a dynastic venue on the American left from which the mainstream media launches his epistles of grievance-reparations and socialist MUSH for public consumption by blacks and liberals looking for alternatives to Sharpton and Hilary. He is more interested in rubbing shoulders with captains of industry for the short-term shakedown than creating pools of capital to redevelop the wastelands of the 3rd and 4th Wards for wealth creation for "one party state" blacks in Chicago and around the country. Whites promote him more than blacks because he does a racist disservice: he keeps blacks ever-mired in grievance and self-pity and defiance against uncaring whitey, who unfortunately has joined Oprah and quietly turned the page. Certainly the relevance of his generic preachments is just as minute as his actual plans for black empowerment through self-reliance, capitalism, and global markets in Africa in lieu of idle chatter about reparations. Is this hatred?<br><br>Ralph W. ConnerRalph W.
