July 28, 2009 BY JESSE JACKSON President Obama has stated that the arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis "Skip" Gates in his home provides a "teachable moment" about racial profiling, and the "relations between police officers and minority communities." The president's remarks -- that the police "acted stupidly" -- sparked a backlash that the White House has tried to defuse by inviting arresting officer Sgt. James Crowley and Gates to sit down over a beer at the White House. The meeting, slated to take place in the next few days, will no doubt result in consensus that we should all...

It seems that Senator Obama's Old party was called the New Party. The party was a Marxist Political coalition. This was not a guilt by association thing. Senator Obama sought out their nomination. He was successful in obtaining that endorsement, and he used a number of New Party volunteers as campaign workers. Read more on the Marxist endorsement that Barack Obama sought out: Co-founded in 1992 by Daniel Cantor (a former staffer for Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential campaign) and Joel Rogers (a sociology and law professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison), the New Party was a Marxist political coalition whose...

Return to the Article July 17, 2008Jesse, Barack, and African-American SupportBy J.R. Dunn Jesse Jackson's infamous "hot mic" remarks have raised to the surface tensions seen earlier within the black community. Only days have passed, and already the uproar over Brother Jesse's remarks have been superseded by yet another crisis, courtesy of Eustace Tilley. It can't be said that this is a dull campaign. But it'll pay us to linger awhile over the Reverend's street insult thrown the Senator's way for the offense of talking down to blacks. Most of the incident's context has been elided by the mass...

LEIMERT PARK — A coalition of community activists from diverse backgrounds came together in Leimert Park Wednesday to denounce homeless activist Ted Hayes’ recent alliance with the ultra-conservative Minutemen Project as a means of battling illegal immigration. During an afternoon news conference at the Lucy Florence Coffeehouse, activist Najee Ali said he believed Hayes is being used as a pawn by what he called a racist faction that never has affiliated itself with the black community until now. “Ted Hayes and his involvement in the Minuteman group is certainly an issue that we should be concerned about,” Ali said. “We...

I have finally figured out how the Democrat Party has been so successful in co-opting Black political leadership. Booker Rising has a link to a site that was explains it all…. Rent-A-Negro.com. I always thought that these so-called “Black Leaders” were bought and paid for. Well it turns out they are actually on long-term leases. You might recognize their two most popular models.

"A decree of death has been passed on America. The judgment of God has been rendered and she must be destroyed..."Louis Farrakhan - 1997 Louis Farrakhan is at it again. With the “Millions More Movement” he has catapulted himself back into the media spotlight in a manner that must make Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton green with envy. One thing that doesn’t get a lot of mention, although most Americans are certainly aware of it, is the fact that Farrakhan isn’t just another “Liberal Black Leader Wannabe.” Farrakhan is the leader of the American Islamic movement, The Nation of Islam....

With so much attention focused on New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, a significant fact has been largely overlooked. As a proud citizen of the Magnolia State I believe it’s high time to make a comparison of just how folks from Mississippi dealt with the storm’s aftermath compared to those in and around New Orleans. One of my brothers was involved in the relief effort. A cross-country trucker like me, he spent 30 days hauling FEMA trailers loaded with ice and food into Southern Mississippi. We spoke on the phone at length just last night, and I discovered how deeply moved...

Jesse Jackson's New Staff Member Mel Reynolds Jessie Jackson has added former Chicago Democrat Congressman Mel Reynolds to Rainbow/PUSH Coalition's payroll. Reynolds was among the 176 criminals excused in President Clinton's last-minute forgiveness spree. Reynolds received a commutation of his six-and-a-half-year federal sentence for 15 convictions of wire fraud, bank fraud and lies to the Federal Election Commission. He is more notorious, however, for concurrently serving five years for sleeping with an underage campaign volunteer. This is a first in American politics: An ex-congressman who had sex with a subordinate... won clemency from a president who had sex with a...

CHICAGO -- Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr., today said, "It's a good thing that Saddam Hussein has been captured, and captured alive. I hope his capture and trial will be used, not only to achieve justice with respect to Mr. Hussein, but to close the many gaps in information of what actually happened leading up to the U. S. pre-emptive war against Iraq. "I also hope it means a reduction in Iraqi resistance, the loss of American, Iraqi and other lives, and success in the effort to reconstruct Iraq. I believe it gives the U.S. a new chance to internationalize both...

Will the Bombs in Baghdad Explode in Havana? By Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. 10/14/2003 ?? Tribune Media Service A car bomb kills six and wounds 35 in Baghdad. Al-Qaeda is reportedly planning new assaults on the United States. Clearly Fidel Castro is in trouble. Fidel Castro? What does he have to do with Iraq and Osama bin Laden? Nothing, of course, but that may just be the point. Bush's preemptive war on Iraq has led to an occupation that isn't going well. American casualties and suicides are up. The Army brass is in virtual public revolt, with half of...
