Jesse Jackson held an extremely disastrous interview on Reddit, which hosts events in which its users ask celebrities questions. These are called "AMAs," or "Ask Me Anything."
Jackson no doubts regrets the entire AMA, which was met with derision from Reddit's users. However, he might regret the answer to one of the questions the most.
At one point in the AMA, Jackson was asked (emphasis mine):
Mr. Jackson,His inexplicable response? "I do." It is unclear what Jackson was thinking, but the rest of his answer shows that he utterly did not understand the question or, more likely, he responded to the wrong one:You are an immoral, hate-filled race baiter that has figured out how to manipulate the political system for your own gain. You've personally set back race relations year after year and continue to do more harm than good. Extorting money from companies to line your pockets and threatening to bus in protestors and create a fake racial controversy if they don’t agree to pay you off is NOT civil rights activism. My question is simple; how is your relationship with the illegitimate child you fathered in 1998 while cheating on your wife? Bonus question: How much money have you extorted from various people and companies over the years of practicing your shakedown scheme? Do you think Al Capone would be jealous of your business model if he were still alive?
I do. But I was jailed in 1960. For trying to use a public library. And that caused more good than harm. I marched to end segregation. The day Dr. King spoke on Washington, in 1963, I was there for that speech. That day, from Texas to Florida, you couldn't use a single public toilet. We could not buy ice cream at Howard Johnson's, or stay in Holiday Inns. We fought to bring those barriers down. And because those walls are down, all the new interstate construction across the South - the new bridges and ports, and seaports - that's progress. You couldn't have teams behind the Cotton Curtain. You couldn't have had Olympics in Atlanta behind the Cotton Curtain. You couldn't have Toyota, and Michelin, behind the Cotton Curtain, so we pulled those walls down.So our work has been beneficial. And it seems to me that people who benefit from that work ascribe it to the wrong reasons.
When the laws change to make the South more civil, that brought in more investment. So we've made America better.Among Jackson's other stunningly terrible answers:All these changes have come from our work. Our work has bene good for the South, and good for America.
My goal is to expand our consciousness, to create as big a tent as possible, as we fight for justice and world peace. I was able to bring Americans home from jail, from prison, and gaining those freedom of those Americans was the highest and best use of my talents and time.
Howz all ya babies doing Je$$e?
Every dog has his day. Obama will be gone and the professional racists will have to maybe even get a real job.
I hope you’re right, but Obozo will not be gone. He’ll take over the job of #1 professional racist whether Jesse and Al stick around or not. Watch the little commie-RAT-bastard stick his face into every potential racial melee that arises...and there will be plenty since Blacks & leftists now run what used to be America.
Jesse “Who’s your Daddy? Hijack-son.
“Obama will be gone and the professional racists will have to maybe even get a real job.”
It is going to be a problem for the race baiters...McDonald’s is automating their ordering systems.
Baltimore, Chicago, Ferguson -- yup, continuous chasm of violence.
- He claimed "America's history has been a continuous chasm of violence."
- He said that the decriminalization of "crack" might be a good thing...
- When asked if he felt bad for rushing to judgement after condemning the "perpetrators" of the Duke lacrosse rape scandal, Jackson said bluntly, "No."
+1
Don’t get your hopes up. The United States made the mistake of petting a stray with Obama, and now he’ll never leave.
He will continue his reign as race baiter in charge after he leaves office, that is if he leaves.
