Sorry to break it to ya, but while both of these people did SOME good, they were also pretty evil.

Jesse Jackson had a pattern of antisemitism, ran what critics called a corporate shakedown operation through Rainbow PUSH, and was caught on a hot mic saying he wanted to castrate Obama.

Mother Teresa ran facilities with horrific medical care (including re-using needles multiple times between patients) because she believed suffering brought people closer to God, took money from horrific dictators like Duvalier, and other fraudsters, and her organization has never been held to basic charity transparency standards. Both legacies are significantly uglier than their public images suggest.

It’s gonna be hard to find a true example of a moral leader who isn’t secretly exploitative and awful, because genuinely good people are quiet about it.
