My position wasn't that "blacks should now cease demanding anything". My point was simply that Booker T. summed up my feelings of Jesse Jackson. I thought it was a good quote.

As for Booker T. saying it back then, was it a good or bad thing? I don't know, not knowing the full context in which it was made.
