Early on Sunday morning, Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr. released a statement on Facebook regarding the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin. He quickly blamed the absence of black members of the jury for the acquittal. “We are saddened and disappointed by this decision. It is a pattern involving young black men that is too often repeating itself. In my view the American legal system has once again failed justice. The jury, no black and no men, was always suspect.”
Jackson then called for peaceful protest rather than violent protest: “The whole world observed this painful conclusion. Every avenue in the law was watching. I hope that no one will compound our pain with street justice. It will do damage to the innocent blood and legacy of Trayvon Martin.”(continued)

Jesse Jackson is nothing more than a modern day house negro; ensuring that the slaves on the democratic vote plantaion don't get uppity, or try to run away to freedom.
Jessie thinks because there no Blacks on the jury it was suspect?
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
At least ‘we’ can rest knowing that if 6 or 8 or 12 or 100 BLACK MEN would have reached the same conclusion, JJ and AS would be claiming that the 6, 8, 12 or 100 were hand picked ‘Toms’ so why bother?
IMNSHO the 12 women picked were ‘bad’ for GZ as I was afraid the prosecution was going for the ‘sympathy’, ‘white guilt’ vote and if it could have went in their favor ‘we’ would not have been ‘allowed’ a backlash.
The prosecutor was doing his/her job (although a tad over bearing), it is the JUDGE who need be censured, perhaps or even jailed for contempt.
Z should SUE all those that seemingly went ‘out of their way’ to see that he be ‘lynched’.
I go ‘out of my way’ to avoid the likes of Geraldo, Greta etal and got them FULL BRUNT as FOX deemed it proper and necessary to interrupt their ‘games’ with the BS from their ‘contributors’.
Fine, cut to the verdict BUT have the 5 minute ‘pre verdict’ hype THEN a 30 minute tirade - ‘telling’ us in ‘supposed’ detail of what we had just heard.
So “Fox Sports” gets to have its own ‘HEIDI MOMENT’.
What better way to get a ‘read’ of how many viewers you have than to ‘interrupt’ something that many are ‘watching’.
I realize it is ‘only a ball game’ BUT why should those of us who have managed to elude the ‘MEDIA RAISED AWARENESS’ of a phony case, be subjected to one half hour or so of apoplectic whining and theory?
Jesse, you are still stupid and getting worse.
Men on the jury would have come back with the same verdict in way less time.
A black guy on the jury would probably have caused a hung jury.
Same for a black woman.
Your comments are totally useless, Jesse.
Jesse Jackson is always suspect. Why don’t these whiners just shut up?
Also I hope George sues CNN out of business.

What’s that ya said there “hymie town”? STFU. GET LOST.
“Jessie thinks because there no Blacks on the jury it was suspect?”
Yeah - how racist is THAT?
I wonder... if there were strong race-baiters among the Hispanic, and Hispanics were prone to rioting... would Jackson and his ilk still be trying to incite black riots?
Thank goodness, though, that once you discount the drug lords and gang violence, most Hispanics are pretty decent people. Had Zimmerman been found guilty as the press wanted, would we see rioting among Hispanics?
I get so seriously tired of race-baiters. If they were serious about eradicating racism, they would encourage issues to be decided on their merits, not on the races of those involved.
MSNBS was lamenting the all white prosecution team last night.
And an adulterer with a bastard kid.
Jesse Jackass. The race pimp who as a youth worked in an Atlanta restaurant and spit in the salads of white people.
You’re a leach who lived off racial discord your entire life. You’re a registered Democrat and supposed to be a reverend, yet you belong to the party of homosexuals, baby killers and atheists.
Your worthless son is in prison and is a crook. He’s a Democrat too.
You and your fellow jackass, Sharpie are a disgrace to your race and due to your tireless pimping have set back the negro race by decades. If one were to give you a nickname it would be Sideshow Jesse.
Three cheers for George Zimmerman!
OJ killed his white wife and walked and Jessie didn’t march.
“Jesse Jackson: ‘The Jury, No Black and No Men, Was Always Suspect’”
Heard some white girl on MSNBC lamenting the lack of blacks on this jury and many others due to felon disqualification since up to 1/3 of black men in certain areas are felons and therefore ineligible to serve. Yup thats what we need, convicted criminals as jurors.
So;
GFY.
“He quickly blamed the absence of black members of the jury for the acquittal.”
I’ve been called for jury duty several times and have been selected for two of which one was a criminal trial. It’s my observation that during the voir-dire process each side, attorneys for the prosecution and for the defense are allowed an equal number of scratches and picks. So, the prosecution could have seated at least three blacks had they chosen to do so.
"There is nothing more painful to me than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then to look around and see someone white and feel relieved." ~ Jesse Jackson, 1993
.
What about Juror B29? I thought she was described as “Black or Hispanic”?
The American Justice system was partially correct when they locked up Jesse Jackass Jr. and his wife, they could complete that coup if they locked up Jesse Jackass Sr. in the same cell, for instigating racial disharmony.
How long will we have to put up with this mush-mouthed racist, no working meathead.
He has spent a lifetime doing nothing but stirring trouble.
