Beyond his attacks on Apple, Reverend Jackson almost had something right. The world of capital must be informed by values of democracy. These unlikely locales will become the battlegrounds of the future. I agree that racism can not be stopped through politics. Though many on the religious right may disagree, we have been busy proving to ourselves over the last few thousand years that morality can not be legislated.
True change comes out of society.
Reverend Jackson can effect far more change by working within the confines of society and business. This sounds like a great idea to me. Reverend Jackson has proven to be a fantastic fundraiser throughout his political career. He should start a Venture Capital firm that provides investment money for minority owned businesses. Time and success will do more to place minorities on corporate boards than whining about Apple Computer.
