Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee may have trouble keeping the promise she made at Michael Jackson’s public memorial for a House resolution that “forever” honors the late pop star.
Jackson Lee, a Texas Democrat, took the stage Tuesday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and hoisted a framed copy of the resolution, embossed with a gold seal. The measure will be debated on the House floor, she said.
For that framed, embossed resolution to be completely legit, it must first get past some opposition.
Rep. Peter King, a New York Republican who called Jackson a “pervert, child molester, pedophile” in a video he posted on YouTube this week, vowed Tuesday to do “whatever I have to do” to oppose honoring Jackson.

I think we should do whatever it takes to OPPOSE Peter King! His racism hides it's face under the guise of ethnic equality. I'm so tired of white's claiming to be tolerant or unbiased when in fact they speak with their lips what's not in their hearts. BTW, I know, I'm privy to remarks made by whites because I fit the mold of being white although I don't relate to the mentality. My parents were both from Lebanon and when people find out, they squirm because of their anti-Arab remarks they made thinking I was OK with racial remarks.
