Members of the Project 21 black leadership network have risen to condemn Jesse Jackson for saying of Rep. Artur Davis (D-AL), "You can't vote against health care and call yourself a black man," calling Jackson's statement divisive and likening it to the mental tactics of a antebellum slaveowner.
Declining to respond in kind, Rep. Davis told The Hill newspaper, "The best way to honor Reverend Jackson's legacy is to decline to engage in an argument with him that begins and ends with race."
Project 21 members were less retrained.
"Shame on Jesse Jackson for using the race card in an attempt to influence the views of another black politician," said Project 21 Fellow Deneen Borelli.

Traditions are at the heart of the African-American culture, proudly carried from generation to generation, especially during the holiday season. Whether hosting Kwanzaa celebrations, tree-trimming parties, or just gathering to share a meal, most holiday traditions provide the bond that keeps the family close and connected. During these challenging economic times, nearly half (43 percent) of African Americans think traditions have become more important, and a majority (92 percent) are even focused on creating new ones. This is according to a recent survey* commissioned by Sears.
According to the survey, a majority of African Americans (90 percent) said that this holiday season they plan to adopt new, money-saving tactics never used in the past. Nearly half (47 percent) will alter the way they shop this year, taking advantage of all the holiday perks stores have to offer, using:
Many African Americans are tweaking their old holiday traditions by using a grab bag or "Secret Santa" approach to giving gifts (21 percent), using an artificial tree instead of a real one (24 percent), having "potluck" style dinners (42 percent) or setting spending limits on gifts (61 percent). And while many will give fewer gifts to friends and family, and send e-cards instead of paper cards, a majority admits that at the end of the day, a holiday without traditions, no matter how different they may be from years' past, would be worse than a holiday without gifts (70 percent).
