A rally in downtown Chicago led by Rev. Jesse Jackson turned into a protest against the black leader himself.

Jackson's Rainbow Push Coalition is trying to rally the thousands of disenfranchised young Chicagoans unemployed or not in school. But a group of people unhappy with Jackson's leadership organized a protest of their own yesterday that sometimes drowned out the more-jobs message, reported WLS-TV in Chicago.

With boos, bullhorns and verbal jabs, a group called VOTE said they had had enough of what they call the rhetoric in the African-American community.

"We are tired of coming here to voice our opinion when we got African-American people sitting at the table and saying they represent our interests and playing this puppet game," said one protester, according to WLS.

VOTE says it is comprised of ex-offenders, community activists, church leaders and Muslims.

Leaders aligned with Jackson were demanding unions set up a trade school in Chicago to train workers.

After the rally, Jackson told WLS why he had come under fire from protesters.

"They lashed out at Dr. King, they lashed out at Nelson Mandela, they lashed out at Jesus, so all of those who fight for change become the object of frustration," Jackson said.

VOTE member John Johnson said of Jackson: "What has he sacrificed for his beliefs? Us. We've been sacrificed. On the altar of his political ambition our people have been destroyed."

WLS asked Jackson if the counter-protest distracted from his message.

"It distracts from the message but it shows the pain," he said.

Many blacks, however, are distancing themselves from establishment leaders such as Jackson. Among them are "the other Jesse," Jesse Lee Peterson, the author of "Scam: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America," published by WND Books,

"I don't recall the entire black race in this country taking a national vote to elect Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, the NAACP, California Congresswoman Maxine Waters, the Congressional Black Caucus or liberal black preachers as our leaders," Peterson writes, "yet they've seized the mantle of leadership and claim to speak for all blacks in this nation."

Happy Thanksgiving, John!

WHAT a wonderful post!! HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA Mo...HERE! NOW!

[HamiltonJay]

Are the lies perpetuated by Jackson and his Ilk finally going to be challenged by an organized group of blacks in America? Could it truly be, that there truly is hope for their community to finally wrest free of the shackles that jackson and others forge in the minds of young black americans with their rhetoric?

I for one certainly hope so.

Counterprotester: 'What has he sacrificed for his beliefs? Us'

LOL .. Seems Jesse may be losing his job soon

One can only hope

[Lurker]

The NEA is being audited as we speak, so I don't think it's too much to hope that the 'Reverend Jackson' and his organizations won't be too far behind.

The wheels of Justice grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine.

Another good one, John.

Regards,

Happy Thanksgiving backatya, my friend :-)

[bonfire]

Tonight I am going to sleep better. Thanks.

[Yaelle]

I had to read it twice to make sure it wasn't a joke! It's about TIME!!!

[MistyCA]

Whew! What a refreshing post! I would love to see more from the African American Community realize that Jesse Jackson does not operate in their best interests. Thank God more of them are getting it right and realize that they are worth a whole lot more than the Jackson ilk gives them credit for or allows them to attain. It literally makes me sick to hear blacks explain everything by claiming discrimination. If I were black, I am sure I would be resenting people like Jackson who get rich by riding on my back.

Thanks for the post John. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving! :)

Seems young blacks are fed up with the eternal democrat plantation.

Questioning and reaching logical conclusions.

Dems have put blacks within gun-banned plantations where they cannot protect their families, businesses, or themselves.

They promised for over forty years and delivered welfare and drugs and poverty and a lousy education.

While young blacks watched others from abroad come to America, learn, work, prosper, and raise healthy families.

I wonder how many blacks Jesee Jackson and his bunch have been responsible for getting killed, getting on drugs, going to prison.

My basic Sgt. at Fort Jackson was a black Silver Star soldier in WWII.

My Captain in the next outfit was a sharp middle-aged black from GA.

They pre-dated Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and the democrat whites that tell blacks they cannot live without them.

They were real men.

Great Americans.

Not pimps and money-grubbing "leaders".

Good night Sgt. Love wherever you are........

"They lashed out at Dr. King, they lashed out at Nelson Mandela, they lashed out at Jesus, so all of those who fight for change become the object of frustration," Jackson said.

Say what?

"They lashed out at Dr. King, they lashed out at Nelson Mandela, they lashed out at Jesus, so all of those who fight for change become the object of frustration," Jackson said.

He actually thinks he belongs on this list? What an ego! Come to think of it, King and Mandela don't belong on that particular list either.

[JohnHuang2]

Welcome and a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, my friend :-)

Yes but...

VOTE says it is comprised of ex-offenders, community activists, church leaders and Muslims.

Not exactly the cream of the crop.

[Bonaparte]

Hahahaha! When attacked by his "own people" on his own turf, all this tax-cheating, race-baiting, adultrous shakedown artist can think to do is compare himself to Jesus Christ.

[sarasmom]

Why, in the year 2003, do native born, black skinned Americans call themselves "African-Americans"?

[FlyVet]

They were real men. Great Americans. Not pimps and money-grubbing "leaders".

A deserved bump to real men, not Armani-suit-and-Rolex-watch-wearing chicken $hi+ phonies like Je$$e Jack@$$ and Al $harpnot.

These old dinosaurs are in big trouble, once the new guard realizes they are nothing but pimp-boy stereotypes who really haven't done anything but enrich themselves on MLK's dead body. Scum buckets.

That was back when today's libs said blacks could not achieve in the military.

Guess somebody forgot to tell them!

While young blacks watched others from abroad come to America, learn, work, prosper, and raise healthy families.

When you meet blacks from South Africa and other parts of the world that have immigrated and made it in this country, there is an odd observation that can be made. You get to talking to them and sooner or later it always comes up, they want you to know they are not an Africian American. Like you can't already tell that from their accent. I have gotten this drift from a South Africian female college professor from and a Nigerian working at a copy house for minimum wage.

They remind me of the latino cowboy I met with a Texas drawl. He changed the subject twice to tell me that he was not a wet back. I never asked about it and could care less but is was important to him that I did not make the mistake of assuming he fit the sterotype.

IMO it is the stigma of living on the democrap plantation. Socialism is slavery by another name and proud sucessful people want no part of it.

Hispanics open bodegas, Indians, Caribeans open shops, Mexicans start landscaping businesses.

American blacks complain about convenience store prices and the fact that others (working 70-110 hrs a week) own them.

Taught they can work 35-40 hours a week for others or sit back and collect welfare by the democrats.

Those from abroad had it so bad back home they go full tilt; I know several from India and Pakistan with shops here and they say back home many have the same entitled "no work" attitude; will not even work 30 hours a week; I was surprised; looks like America gets many of the hungry ambitious people, much as the Germans, Italians, Scots, Irish who came here years ago.

Here in CT many hispanics are going thru business and field instruction in nursey and landscaping; no "leaf blower" ambitions there!

It is truly criminal how democrats have seduced and reduced the american blacks; in the 1940s and 1940s many blacks voted Republican and most were ware of how vitally important an education was.

As the "New Deal" and "Great Society" programs grew, they lost ambition and self respect and drive.

Massa will provide.

DC, Detroit, Chicago, Houston, LA, Gary, St. Louis.

Democrat Plantations.

No wonder so many black families are moving back to the south to escape crime and find a safe prosperous area to raise their families and get good educations for their kids before they die in a drug gang fight or end up in prison.

FBI-DOJ Uniform Crime Reports show black crime drops close to white crime in rural areas.

DC is really a blight on our nation and I would not raise dogs there.

301 handgun murders under Clinton/Reno in 1999 with only 340,000 population in a 100% gun-banned plantation DC!

300 handgun murders in 1999 in 17 legal concealed carry handgun states combined with over 23 million population.

Hopefully the rebelling blacks and those that listen to Jesse Peterson will realize they need to be their own examples and leaders, not Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton types.

Research the Tennessee "Army-Navy" gun control laws the democrats passed after the Civil War to disarm freed blacks and poor whites.

This started long ago.

Surburbs have a growing educated black middle and upper class growing financially and well educated, but large urban cities in America are a danger to all races.

Top that off with 8-13 million illegal aliens here in the USA with about 2 million unemployment.

If we kicked out illegal aliens it would be hard to say that blacks would still be as unemployed as they are; especiaaly competing with "off the books" paid illegals who pay no income taxes and have no payroll deductions.

Both parties are guilty of this, but GW is starting to crack down on employers who recruit illegal aliens and John Ashcroft and the IRS are hot on the case too.

Quick profits hiring 4-5 illegal aliens for the true cost of 2 honest tax-paying American citizens.

When some tell you Americans will not do the work, point them at some states that are 96% white populations and ask them who does the work there.
