Race Grifter Jesse Jackson Has Died

[Ambrose]

It has been announced that Jesse Jackson has died. No sources or links to cite as none are needed. If you asked a thousand Black men old enough to remember Jackson (if a thousand could be found willing to talk frankly) what specifically did Jesse Jackson do of benefit to Black people the answers would be vague and without fact. If you asked the same question of White men the answers would likely be similar.
I remember Jackson well enough to recall he put much of his life's time into complaining to White people and demanding White people do things for Black people and change American society for the benefit of Black people to the detriment of White people. Jackson was a professional complainer. Jackson made a paying career out of complaining and demanding. I do not recall Jackson every admitting or attempting to convince Black people that the main problem with the majority of Blacks is they need to change their attitudes and beliefs about not needing to acquire knowledge and skill in order to succeed and progress. Whites understand this - even poor Whites know that the reason they are poor is they lack knowledge and skill. Jackson wanted Whites to give give give to Blacks. That's what a grifter asks for. Jackson saw this world in black and white; he was truly color blind.

Jesse Jackson was a ubiquitous presence in the corporate media for many years, the anointed spokesman for all things Black and always from an anti-White, pro-grifting perspective.

He faded in recent years, even before he got really old, seemingly replaced by Al Sharpton, who has had a near ubiquitous presence going back even before the Tawana Brawley hoax. But Jackson in his prime was long the pre-eminent spokesman for the "civil rights movement" after MLK's murder.

Here's how the current President reacted to the news of Jackson's passing. No commentary needed:

“Despite the fact that I am falsely and consistently called a Racist by the Scoundrels and Lunatics on the Radical Left, Democrats ALL, it was always my pleasure to help Jesse along the way.

“I provided office space for him and his Rainbow Coalition, for years, in the Trump Building at 40 Wall Street; Responded to his request for help in getting CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM passed and signed, when no other President would even try; Single handedly pushed and passed long term funding for Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs), which Jesse loved, but also, which other Presidents would not do; Responded to Jesse’s support for Opportunity Zones, the single most successful economic development package yet approved for Black business men/women, and much more."

Yes, no commentary needed indeed!

I remember Jackson always wanted to embrace a wanted despot or terrorist that was on the FBI"s Most Wanted List. If he had any relevancy in recent years he would have visited and embraced recently nabbed despot Maduro.

His presidential primary run in 88' actually had traction and he started winning rust belt states by talking about getting well paid factory jobs back to these states. I think he spooked the Democratic power brokers so badly that the vote splitting that was causing Jackson to win these states abruptly ended with marginal candidates ending their presidential run and the party machine united behind wishy washy Dukkakis.

In the end the Democrats were whipped badly by Republicans portraying Dukkakis as weak and spineless with the Willie Horton ads and their highlighting of his legislative history as governor of Massachusetts.

PS I remember playing a political game where the players had to be either a Republican candidate in various modern elections or Democrat and I remember choosing Jackson and he was destroyed in every simulation of the 88 election no matter what policies you chose for simulation the Democratic brass must have run the same simulator.

 

[white is right]

Yes that was beyond funny.

Also I remember he stated Jackson's salary for his PUSH non profit and it was well into 6 figures and I remember Limbaugh said something to the affect why would Jackson want to be an alderman in Chicago when he was making multiples of that in his position.

I think the last time I remember Jackson was in the news was when a desperate Don Imus kissed the rings of Jackson and Sharpton to save his job with WFAN after his controversy with his locker room humor about Rutgers women's basketball players.

Not to mention the Justice Brothers parody bits of Revs Jackson and Sharpton.
