Jesse Jackson was seen as somewhat of a stereotype of a Black politician of the age: a former preacher and activist with obligatory facial hair, no matter what his actual message was. If MLK survived and got into elective politics, he'd likely get the very same treatment.

Biden's unfortunate commentas about "clean Obama" sadly summarized a perception Black politicians had and still have to struggle with.
