Is Jesse Jackson relevant?

Color Blind
Jackson is not relevant and has not been for a long time.
HOWEVER, had this comment been made by a white person, you can rest assured that all hell would have broken loose.
Jackson's comment about Obama "talking down to black people" was clearly racist. The rest of the comment, "...I want to cut his nuts off" was incendiary, threatening and beneath contempt.
His "apology" that he didn't know the mic was on is not an apology at all.
Why are we not shouting from the rafters that this man needs to make amends and then shut his mouth? How dare he threaten a United States Senator and a candidate for President?
We all need to be color blind on this outrageous comment and Jesse Jackson needs to quickly fade into obscurity.
