Actually, that's a relief!
I thought for a moment there that he wanted to ban the word "grifter" from our lexicon as in, "Jesse Jackson is a master grifter." ;)

I think Jerry Seinfeld might have an actionable case against Jackson.

C'mon Jesse, we'll have to get niggardly with our entertainment dollars if you do that.

I just remembered that I have a relative who likes the show, so there's one Christmas present I know to get.

In a 1969 Life Magazine interview, Jackson said that when he worked as a waiter in a Greenville, South Carolina restaurant, he would spit into the soups and salads of white customers. Spitting into the food gave me a psychological gratification," Jackson said.

Isn't this what Bill Cosby has been trying to say for several years now? I also wish they would stop with the use of the euphemism "n-word", and just state that the word "nigger" is an ugly word that should not be used by anyone for any reason. Why do they feel the need to sugarcoat the issue when plain language is better?

Jesse Jackson has a massive problem with free speech like most totalitatians, oops I meant liberals.
The biggest users of "the n word" are black entertainers, such as comedians and rap vermin. They account for 99.99% of the use of this word.

Anyone who wants to know about the real Jesse Jackson ought to read Kenneth R. Timmerman's book "Shakedown". It would open even an intellectually honest liberal's eyes.

You just said one one the most profound and honest things I ever read! Thank you
To: Sub-Driver
Je$$e, will you call on the entertainment industry to also drop the word "cracker" from its vocabulary? How about you dropping it as well?

The biggest, by far, users of that word are blacks. If Jesse is asking for a ban on the word in the entertainment industry he's talking to the black comedians.
