Reverend Jesse Jackson asserted that the devastation inflicted on poor blacks by Hurricane Katrina proves America is a racist society.
We dont see this kind of destruction in white or Jewish communities, said Jackson. Why is it always poor blacks whore hurt? Its because our racist society wants it that way.
Jackson said 120,000 people in New Orleans make less than $8,000 a year. This is less than I charge for a single speech, Jackson pointed out.
Jackson also criticized the role given to former presidents George Bush senior and Bill Clinton as coordinators for a fund raising effort following the Katrina tragedy. Why wasnt I asked to lead this relief effort? Jackson demanded to know. As a Black man, I can feel their pain just as well, if not better than Bill Clinton. And my fees are quite reasonable.
Jackson spoke after leading a bus convoy into New Orleans to give a speech to 450 students trapped at Xavier University. If youre Black and you live in a shack, your race will trap you in this place, said Jackson.

Right on point!I used to know quite a few civil rights activists forty years ago.NONE were in it for the money.Jackson and his lecture fee mentality shows how far down the movement has sunk.
jesse should have parted the water and lead all of them out of harms way that would have shown the evil tax payers. that his way is the right way. and no more voting for the wrong people.
Fake news....but so real people believed it...It's a spoof.
That explains it! I knew there was a reason.
