    Jackson is an ordained minister.
    As for why the media keeps flocking to both, call it laziness. The media wants reaction, they go to them. Many outlets are afraid to go to other sources. One NY minister who should be quoted more is Rev. Calvin Butts.

    Actually, Jesse is not an ordained minister.
    I don't have time right now to look, I'll check later for the link.

    By himself.
    Not by a church.

    "Our position has nothing to do with whether the person using the language is black or white, rich or poor, friend or foe," Sharpton said on Saturday, reiterating what he has been saying since the trial ended. "We cannot have different standards for sexism or racism."

    You have a problem with that statement, markvid? What more do you want him to say? Show me where he condones ANY man calling ANY woman a derogatory name.

    That's different from the earlier stuff.
    I'd hope he saw how dumb his original thought was.

    You make a very strong accusation. I've given you the date he was ordained. I know he went to Chicago Theological Seminary and I know he didn't finish. But that doesn't mean he is not an ordained minister.
    What proof do you have?
