The Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease eight years ago, is stepping down from the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, the influential Chicago-based civil rights organization he founded through its predecessor, Operation PUSH, more than 50 years ago.
After ceding day-to-day operations last year, Jackson, 81, is formally handing the reins to his successor, the Rev. Frederick Douglass Haynes III, a senior pastor of friendship at West Baptist Church in Dallas. Haynes’ appointment is expected to be announced this weekend at the annual Rainbow/PUSH convention, sources said Friday.
Haynes said it’s an honor to be chosen for this role. “I confess that when he first approached me about doing this, I was blown away,” he said.
Haynes said he has long been a student and follower of Jackson’s. “One of the things that I am quick to say is that of all of the degrees I may have, I must also confess that I’ve studied at the University of Jesse Jackson,” he said. “I first heard him as a college student at Bishop College in Dallas, Texas, and I was just blown away because I was trying to find my way in ministry. ... Through the years, my formation in justice work had everything to do with Rev. Jackson.”
With the new leadership in place, Jackson is quick to admit his future plans.
“I’m not retiring at all,” Jackson said Friday. “I want to focus a lot more on economic justice, peace in the world. I’m just pivoting to a different platform.”
According to Jackson, pivoting means he will spend the majority of this time teaching about “how to fight the nonviolent fight” when it comes to injustice.

This means the poverty pimp is going to croak soon.
The “Reverend” Jackson will have many opportunities to pimp out souls in his new destination of hell.
The Succubus are waiting, soon to follow “Reverend” Al Sharpton. /spit
Operation Shake Down Whitey
Whenever the “Reverend” is mentioned, I hear it as Rush would have enunciated it.
Blackmail Push
His outfit's main income was "contributions" from big companies threatened with accusations of racial discrimination. Unlike lesser race hustlers, he always really did have them dead to rights with something legally actionable. In effect he sold licenses to discriminate.
So Jesse Jackson made money as a race hustler while betraying his supposed cause.
I’m in D/FW and I can tell you that Frederick Douglass Haynes III is every bit as bad as Jackson, if not a LOT worse. He is the epitome of a race hustler of the worst sort, the type that preaches the message of government goodies for the permanently downtrodden in his black community while living high on the hog as a “prosperity” huckster.
LOL! Don't we all.
Must be some legal troubles coming down the pike. I’d turn this job down, if it were me.
Successful grifters never give up the grift, until the house of cards is weakening, and they need a patsy.
Jesse Hijackson.
Racist, Racer baiter, and race opportunist Jessie Jackson…
NOW it reads correctly.
My thought too...how soon till his grift operation collapses?
But maybe the Parkinson’s is progressing and now he just wants to retire?
Proverbs 12
12 ¶ The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
Reflect on the first part of this verse...
Jackson probably picked the most radical option I’m sure.
Lifetime Antisemite and racebater.
Sold out his Pro- Life position to.
Race hustler passes the baton.
Yeah, except he said he’s not retiring.
