Civil Rights Leader Jesse Jackson Accused of Harassment by Gay Man

Does Jesse Jackson really care about civil rights, or does he just care about what he can do to promote Jesse Jackson? If you are a listener of Mancow, Erich Mancow Muller loves to tell the story of how the Reverend Jackson ran when shots were fired in Memphis and the great Martin Luther King died. Jackson was seen just prior to the cameras showing up staining his clothes with King's blood, obvious in hopes of becoming the next Martin Luther King.

Of course, the Reverend Jackson could never replace greatness because he is and always has been a selfish man there for self promotion rather than the good of the human race. Apparently, that's how the Jackson family received their Budweiser distributorship as well. Jackson complained about the marketing in the ghettos of Chicago by beer companies, but took a beer distributorship to remain silent about those marketing efforts.

So is it any wonder that Jackson, the self-proclaimed civil rights leader may be in hot water for harassing a gay man?

A former employee of the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. at the Rainbow Push Coalition has filed a bombshell wrongful termination and discrimination complaint against the civil rights leader with the City of Chicago's Commission on Human Rights.

The complaint, filed sometime last year by Tommy R. Bennett, a regular on the Tom Joyner Radio show and member of Barack Obama's LGBT Leadership Council, includes shocking details about Jackson's behavior toward the openly gay staffer including a suggestion that the civil rights leader may have propositioned him.

Jackson has denied the allegations in a legal response that was filed in July 2010 and resurfaced when the Windy City Times published a story Tuesday.

Bennett, 55, claims Jackson ridiculed him in front of other employees and required him to perform "humiliating tasks" like escorting women to Jackson's various hotel rooms, cleaning up after alleged trysts and packing his clothing. It also includes a suggestion that Jackson may have asked for oral sex.

Of course this will somehow go away, and blacks will continue to celebrate a man who has done little to improve the black condition in American while profiting in hopes blacks remain in the ghetto.
