Disclaimer: I grew up in the same town as he did, and I <i>really</i> don't like him very much.<p>I think he's taking the easy way out. It's easy to shame people because it's negative.<p>What I'd like to see him do is approach someone like Khan Academy and work with them to get more women & minorities learning the skills needed to work in high-tech. He should work on reforming the education system and get younger kids (of any race) knowing that it's OK to be smart and build stuff.
More accurate headline: "Jesse Jackson to take on tech industry's lack of contributions to Jesse Jackson".<p>A lack of minorities in tech is secondary to this clown. He's a divisive self-promoter, and has been for decades.
