Maybe not Jesse......maybe not

As of this moment all we know for sure is that a state grand jury has issued sealed indictments against two Duke University lacrosse players in a case of ALLEGED rape. Are these two really guilty? That remains to be seen. But Jesse Jackson, appearing with Paula Zahn on CNN, has already set the racial fires burning with hot-button talk of “plantation” and “slavery” and “fantasies” of white men having their way with black women.
Jesse obviously waits by the phone for the next CAUSE to divide America. This time, the call came from Duke University and here he is, front page again.
It’s too bad that Paula failed to remind Jesse that “fantasies” work both ways. Plenty of prime time African American athletes somehow walk off with the sharpest blonde on campus. Is that a problem? No, as long as we remember that we’re all in this together and that race is a problem only when we (or some people) make it a problem.
For Jesse, the verdict is already in, and not only for these two players, but for all America.

Jesse Jackson is the most successful idiot I know.
What a slug. Damn him and his ilk for the damage they have done to America. It will take decades to repair, if it can ever be done. We won't ever see full racial harmony in my lifetime, thanks to these people on the left.
RUSH TO JUDGEMENT ...
Last night I was watching Tucker Carlson (I know, I know, MSNBC is a waste of air time), but Tucker really did take on Jesse and his racism. Jesse was (and is) a real clymer.
Jesse Jackson lives in another world, IMO.
For example, he's had voter registration drives in recent years, where he says that "the hands that pick cotton are going to pick the next President". The days of cotton plantations are so far gone........what century does this guy live in, I think to myself...............
Here's the link to the transcript:

The Jesse Hijackson segment is a little less than halfway down the page. I haven't laughed this hard in a while after reading the following quote:
"And the idea of white males fantasizing about black women is -- is quite old, quite -- and quite ugly, and now quite illegal."
I think he has it backwards. ;-D I had no idea that fantasies of black women are illegal. Well there goes my weekend fantasies of Shirley Hemphill!
You're right. Turker Carlson shredded Jesse Jackson last night. Jackson, he said to the astonished Reverend, sees everything from the perspective of race and "profits from it."

You can't fool us. What you really fantasize about is a threezies with Aunt Esther and "Weezy" Jefferson.
Agreed about Jesse; he has turned from a once leading civil rights leader into a pathetic comic figure, basically now a joke, and is part of the "old and obsolete" civil rights leadership for sure. And about Paula; she's merely gone from hot to sad in just a few years. Too bad, she was good "eye candy without a brain" back in the day. Both are now yesterday's news...
Laws against interracial marriage are a thing of the past. A white man may legally marry a black woman...but then it would be illegal for him to fantasize about his own wife?
And how is the state to get evidence? By compelling someone to admit to fantasies...despite the protections of the Fifth Amendment?
Jesse is treading water by the statements he is making. After all he has had a few romps in his life.
That's the one! Thanks
...sorry for the double-post, but I think he said "not quite illegal"
/splitting hairs, I know
ZAHN: Reverend Jackson joins me now.
Always good to see you. You see the issue of race involved in this case. The -- the idea that white men hire black women to strip for them is -- quote -- "That fantasy is as old as slave masters impregnating young slave girls."
Are you saying this alleged victim was raped because she was black?
REVEREND JESSE JACKSON, FOUNDER, RAINBOW/PUSH COALITION: There's a race/sex/class intrigue in the situation.
And the idea of white males fantasizing about black women is -- is quite old, quite -- and quite ugly, and now quite illegal. And that's why we really want the truth to be told. We want justice served. And we want the law to serve as a -- as a deterrent.
ZAHN: But, Reverend Jackson, one of the attorneys representing the captain of the lacrosse team says that, in saying what you're saying tonight, you're pandering to race. You're race-baiting, because there's no evidence that any of these players specifically asked for a black stripper.
JACKSON: Well, that's what they got and that's what they paid for.
You know, it's -- it's -- it's alarming to me, astonishing, really, after 254 years of legal slavery, 100 years of legal Jim Crow. I grew up in that system. I knew what that system -- what it means. They -- they knew what they got.
And we know that they were watching this naked woman, who is a -- an exotic cancer, a former person in the Navy, a mother of two, who exposed her body to make money, to take care of her children and go to college. So, she's not just a stripper, but, really, a person, who they are now about to diminish into a non-person. That's why she's afraid. She's in hiding now.
And these guys were out of control. Of the 47, 15 in this past year have been arrested for everything from disorderly conduct to public urination.
ZAHN: But the alleged victim has a criminal history as well. Do you believe everything this alleged victim has said.
JACKSON: No, I do -- I -- I...
ZAHN: Do you think she's telling the truth?
JACKSON: I do not know her.
But what I -- at these parties, you -- there are these sexual arousal dimensions there, the drinking dimensions. And, so, I don't know what all happened.
Suffice it to say, she left there with injury and went to the hospital. And the nurses and doctors said, at the hospital, that they suspected she had been assaulted in some way. And that has been the strongest evidence so far, were the marks on -- on her body.
ZAHN: No one doubts your generosity in wanting to send this young woman through schools. But didn't she have options? Couldn't she have been a bus driver? Couldn't she have been a waitress? Weren't there other ways to make a living?
JACKSON: I don't know.
I know there are -- today, too many young women are -- are engaging now in stripping, in exotic dancing, to pay their way through college. I'm inclined to put the weight on the -- for the able young men, and not the woman, who is maybe the victim of a poverty of her mind, of her emotions.
She needs help. And people of -- of character ought to try to help this woman and -- and see that there is -- the truth is known. We don't want to indict any -- any person who is innocent. We need to know the truth, and we need to use the law as a deterrent from this happening again anywhere.
ZAHN: Reverend Jesse Jackson, always good to see you. Thanks for dropping by tonight.
JACKSON: Thank you.
ZAHN: Appreciate it.

Hey Liz, SHHH! Jesse might be lurking!
Jesse is upset that a black woman had to bare her body for money at a honkie university named after David Duke, how humiliating is that?
