In an exclusive statement to RadarOnline.com, Reverend Jesse Jackson slammed Mel Gibson’s racist rant.

"Mel Gibson's outburst demonstrates once again that we are far from a society that is ‘beyond race and racism.’ His penchants for anti-Semitic and racist diatribes reveal the actor's fundamental character flaw. He needs help.  But as a society we must redouble our efforts to combat racism and eradicate racial inequalities wherever they may exist," said Reverend Jackson.
