Essay Forty-Two

Your MultiCultClassics Minutes mailbox has four new messages…

• Jesse Jackson called the shooting of an unarmed motorist by California cops a hate crime. Most Blacks called the incident a typical day in California.

• Mexican President Vicente Fox called Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to express regret for his remarks about Blacks in America. Fox and Jackson later held a meeting, agreeing to team up to unite Blacks and Hispanics. Maybe the political leaders can get P. Diddy and J. Lo back together.

• Former NBA player Rex Chapman says he was called out for dating Black women while attending the University of Kentucky in the 1980s. Jesse Jackson called to offer romance advice.

• Viewers nationwide made the call — and Vonzell Solomon is out of the American Idol competition. Simon Cowell can expect to receive a call from Jesse Jackson.
