I think we should take one brief moment to be thankful little outburst happened — it was a revelatory moment about Jackson, in a world where not everyone sees what we’ve long seen. Did you see the body language on that video? It was an all-around nasty moment, from a guy who isn’t the spokesman for black in America he purports to be. If he were, he’d be honest about what fatherlessness has done to blacks in America (along with everyone else, but in a special way black families).

There was a story, “End of the Tiger,” in Bill Bennett’s collection, The Moral Compass, that parallels this incident quite well — I write about it here. Through the sound of a no-good laugh, we see into a man’s core. And it’s the end of him in one family’s life. The Left should have moved on from him long ago and maybe this little incident, nastily knocking Barackstar will help move them along.
