Jesse Jackson: Obama 'is the result of our struggles'

Wait a minute. Didn't Jackson have some violently unkind things to say about Brutha O during the campaign?

In a vulgar tirade caught on tape by Fox News, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said he wanted to "cut his [Barack Obama's] nuts out" and he accused the fellow Chicagoan of "talking down to black folks" by giving moral lectures to African-Americans, source said Jackson's shocking quotes were picked up by a hot mic before an interview on health care in Fox's Chicago studio last Sunday

Get out the violin.

Yes, there were Africans who came here as free men and women and remained so. Jackson is full of it, and knows darn well Obama didn’t come out of the U.S. civil rights movement, no way no how.

I send my thanks to the United Negro College Fund for three things.

First, for the millions of black Americans whose educational records aren't a top secret, national security mystery.

Second, for continuing to use the old 'N' word instead of the "new" 'N' word in their organization name.

And finally, for not paying Pimp Jesse be in any TV commercials for them.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Funny you mention it, I’m old enough to recall when the word Negro was absoultely not derogatory. A gentle Old Negro man taught me how to win at checkers, and I never could beat him even after I became a member of my university’s Chess Team.

As concise and thorough a smack down as I’ve seen in awhile.

Obama ‘is the result of our struggles’

Jesse:

With a good laxative, you wouldn’t have to struggle so hard to get that kind of “product.”

[Senator Goldwater]

"We remain number one in poverty, infant mortality, home foreclosures. We lack access to quality education, health care, technology, capital and credit. The national unemployment rate for white males is 9.5 percent, for black males, 19 percent. Of the 2.3 million Americans in prison, about 1.1 million are black, 500,000 are Latinos. So one sees evidence that patterns of institutional discrimination persist"

What evidence, Jess?

Pay off your loans, commit to pre-natal care, obtain a skill set, maintain a career, obtain insurance and don't commit any crimes.

Works every time its tried, Jess.

Our struggles are the result of Obama.
