My son wants to know:
"What happens if Al Sharpton won't forgive you, but Jesse Jackson will?"
Whose sin-forgiving superpowers are stronger?

Second: You can make a tax deductible contribution via VDARE by clicking here. (Paypal and credit cards accepted, including recurring "subscription" donations.) UPDATE: Don't try this at the moment.
Third: send money via the Paypal-like Google Wallet to my Gmail address (that's isteveslrATgmail.com -- replace the AT with a @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Here's the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: "You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps." You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.
You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.
Or you can send money via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover) with the industry-standard 2.9% fee. (You don't need to put money into your Google Wallet Balance to do this.)
Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone app (Android and iPhone -- the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).
Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google's free Gmail email service. Here's how to do it.
(Non-tax deductible.)
Fourth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Fifth: if you have a Chase bank account (or, theoretically,other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it's Steven Sailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.)

Jesse Jackson's powers are definitely stronger; after all, he is the emperor of all black people.
I agree with rast. Sharpton's powers cannot possibly compare to those of the Supreme Ultimate Rainbow Warrior.
I was leaning toward Jackson, but although he has a lot more credibility among white people, I'm not sure who black people respect more. I wouldn't be surprised if Sharpton's confrontationality(?) doesn't carry more weight than Jackson's occasional appeals for forgiveness.
Neither is a priest, so they don't have the power to forgive!
Now, if I had to choose which would bless or pray for me?
Jackson, easily.
I don't think he got the credit he deserved from the Conservative/Pro-life community when he went down to be with the Schindler family during the Terri Schiavo starving. He did this despite it being vastly unpopular with Liberals and all the media coverage was intensely unfavorable to any on her family's side. Yet, he did it anyway. The hugs he shared with them and the emotion on his face when he was with them were as real and genuine as anything I've ever seen and I'll never forget it.
Forget absolution, your son should be asking for an Anheuser Busch distribution deal! You gotta go to Jackson for that one.
What if Michael Jackson is willing to forgive you?
Don't blaspheme: only the MLK above can forgive sins.
Jackson rushing to get in front of a bunch of cameras, yeah he must have really felt the goodness stir inside him, Luke.
Jesus, you are gullible.
Walter Williams' forgiveness is all I need.
The Messiah of the Windy City may be the only true source of absolution in this crazy, mixed-up world of ours.
I think that if a white person wants to participate in the race debate, he should have interacted socially (not by playing sports, however) with a regular (i.e. non-law grad or similar) black person, 1 on 1, for at least 1 hour...at some point in his life. I doubt if Imus has done this.
Hell, anonymous, I screwed several black women. One was a secretary, another a lawyer, ande another... hell I don't even know.
Does that qualify me, dimwit?
A reader wrote about Mr. Walter E. Williams forgiveness.
Here it is:

It's instructive to compare the Imus story, getting so much attention in the media, with another story, that doesn't appear to be as popular as it was a year ago when it was getting Imus levels of attention for some mysterious reason.

I've heard several people close to the situations say Jackson is superior / inspired in a pastoral role. Maybe he sold out his true calling for the pottage of money and race power.
How sad, if so.
My recollection is that the Rev. Jesse was a pretty positive force in the 1970s, when he concentrated on preaching black self-improvement: stay in school, don't do drugs, that kind of thing.
My favorite Rev. Al story is that civil rights leaders sent the very young Rev. to meet with James Brown, Soul Brother Number One, to persuade the singer to give up his straightened hair-do and switch to an Afro. Instead, the Hardest Working Man in Showbiz wowed the young Al, who ever since has had a processed conk in tribute.
