The U.S. south is “the land of the free, the home of genocide,” civil rights icon Rev. Jesse Jackson repeatedly said Wednesday in a speech that also implied former President Ronald Reagan was a racist.
College news outlet Campus Reform provided TheBlaze an audio recording of Jackson telling students at Furman University that Reagan and former presidential candidate Barry Goldwater both sought to sustain segregation.
“Goldwater and Reagan – had they been successful, it would have been illegal for blacks and whites to play together on a Saturday afternoon,” he said. “You couldn’t have had the Carolina Panthers behind the cotton curtain playing the Atlanta Falcons … it would have been illegal.”
Jackson doubled down on his claim, saying basketball legend Michael Jordan could have never played basketball at the University of North Carolina had Reagan and Goldwater had their way.
“Michael Jordan couldn’t have gone to UNC … it would have been ineligible for him to play at UNC,” he said. “You couldn’t have had the Olympics in Atlanta Georgia. You couldn’t have had the Dallas Cowboys in Houston, Texas, you couldn’t have had the Super Bowl in New Orleans or in Atlanta or in Jacksonville or Miami.”
The civil rights icon also touched on the controversy over the Washington Redskin’s name in his speech commenting on race.....

Rev. Jesse Jackson should be committed to the insane asylum by divine presidential executive order.
If only the South were half as nasty as the urban Yanks and liberal, snot, forkwads thought—they would be gone, gone, gone. Talk about folk living in yesteryear. Poor sods. *sigh*
Jesse’s “inner racist” has been coming out and showing itself quite a bit lately.
The fact that this clown is even invited to speak anywhere amazes me. What exactly does this idiot, other than try to shake down businesses?
Well, he does like to doodle the Liberal White Woman that shows up on Fox, so that must count for something.
I guess it proves he isn’t a Bigot. /s
It’s another tequila sunrise for the right reverend.
For Jesse, his mind can no longer remember the past accurately. His only recourse is to invent it. I wonder how many on the Left think Jesse is a joke and a has-been.
"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"
Leftwing preacher activists have a serious problem ignoring that verse as they continue to preach hate towards anyone who disagrees with them.
Ludicrous. The genocide of which he speaks is by Planned Parenthood and the feral blacks who kill other blacks - and whites. The way he speaks, it's as if we whites organize weekend safaris to go out and thin the herd every weekend. Ridiculous.
Every day and in increasing examples, the Left demonstrates that multiculturalism and diversity does not work. Diversity is not a strength.
Why in the world would Furman invite him to speak in the first place ?
Is the carny’s bank account dwindling? Has the depression taken a bite out of snake oil sales?
I suspect he is trashing the south because his son, JJJ is in prison at Butner NC.
A what?
sought to sustain segregation.
And what exactly has been so positive about desegregation?
Integration has done so much for Grade Point Averages.
And hybrids abound.
And we have a black President.
When you really look at Jesse’s point, you see it is his head that goes to it.
The case could be made that group harm was intended, but as been noted allowing blacks to sit next to whites has not done a whole lot for the average black person. Its basically allowed America to create the Mugabe class of blacks like Jackson who basically preach harm to whites and if this was done to some group somewhere besides a Western country and some group besides whites they would all be charged with basically genocide and crimes against humanity.
Another Rev Wright. Yet he will still have his seat at the table at CNN and MSNBC.
