Why wouldn’t Duncan receive the best medical care?
To ensure best medical care? Because otherwise he wouldn't receive it? What exactly can YOU DO??? @RevJJackson @rolandsmartin

What the fuck?! Is playing "healer" now? Not enough relevant racism to instigate today? @dickstrash @revjjackson @rolandsmartin

But remember: This is about Duncan. For realsies. Jackson’s just the facilitator. Or something.

@RevJJackson What's your fundraising goal for this trip, "Reverend"?

Well, it gives him something to do in his twilight years.
.@RevJJackson Exactly how are you qualified to do that? Or are you just trying to stay relevant by capitalizing on the fear of the family?
— John Murphy (@johnmurphy) October 7, 2014
That sounds about right.
Thoughts and prayers out to the citizens of Dallas who have had to endure storms, Ebola, and now @RevJJackson who is visiting today.
