The senate recently announced that it is going to investigate some of the megachurches and wealthy ministries, including those of Eddie Long, TD Jakes, Creflo Dollary, Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyers and others. Dr. Watkins, as a Finance Professor, weighs in with his perspective on the issue. He simply asks the question "What would Jesus do?" Dr. Watkins has appeared on ESPN, CNN, BET, Fox News, CBS and other networks fighting for racial equality. He and Al Sharpton appeared on The Wendy Williams Experience in New York, and Watkins has also gotten into powerful feuds with Bill O'Reilly of Fox News (The O'Reilly Factor) and Sean Hannity of Hannity & Colmes. He has appeared with Michael Eric Dyson many times, The Rev. Jesse Jackson and other African-Americans fighting for equal rights for black people. Watkins was one of the first to bring the Jena 6 case to light in national media, and he also was the one who gave Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson the idea to attack Don Imus' corporate sponsors. It was ultimately Watkins' idea that took Imus off the air.
