Jesse Jackson in Dallas to address Ebola scare

While Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan remains in critical condition, Civil Rights Activist Rev. Jesse Jackson has arrived in Texas to address the virus scare and "seek the best humanitarian relief." Jackson, whose plane landed around 8:45 a.m., is expected to meet with pastors and community leaders in Oak Cliff at 11 a.m. In the afternoon he will meet with Duncan's doctors and then his family members.

I find it amazing that Duncan’s mother is an American having come here who-knows-how many years ago. And his fiance is American ... same thing.

Ping-a-Ling.

Maybe Jesse ... uh, ... self-deleted before mods read it.

Thanks, bgill.

“Humanitarian relief” must be the new buzz phrase for shakedown cash...

[Da Coyote]

And just exactly what could that idiot address?

That grifting cretin would have trouble spelling “science”.

When I want medical expertise, I’ll listen to Dr Ben Carson.

Now we will find out that Ebola is an invention of White Republican Jewish Bankers to depopulate Africa and colonize it for its natural resources and Oil and incidentally to kill off the Negro population of the United States.

Ping...

At this stage, i can’t believe anyone in Dallas or anywhere else, white or black, would think for a second that Jackson is really going there to help anyone.

Stay outta da bush meat!

Don’t forget that JJs biological daddy is Noah Robinson as in Michelle Robinson Obama. Both ancestors came from the Friends Plantation Area
MO spent enough time in the JJ home growing up to be called SIS by the siblings

We can all relax now; Jesse Jackson just rode in. The nation was heading for the brink. We are saved by this majestic being alone. You could set a camera up in the middle of the Sahara Desert and sooner or later it would conjure up Jesse Jackson.

Standing between Jackson and a TV camera is more dangerous than catching Ebola.

>>dangerous than catching Ebola.

If we are lucky, Ebola will be between Jesse Jackson and the aforementioned TV camera.

A lot of Black folk will find that a ‘teachable moment’ for their near future.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

LOL
bgill, I do recall your post last week, that Jackson would show up and turn it into a race thing. These guys are so predictable that they are boring.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[Scoutmaster]

I see what you did there.

[TexasRepublic]

“If we are lucky, Ebola will be between Jesse Jackson and the aforementioned TV camera.”

Since he was in Dallas, the “reverend” should have done his priestly duty and laid hands on the victim and prayed until the sick man was healed.

Ebola is black ... because it is from Africa.

It's overwhelmingly from Africa, but apparently a different strain of Ebola comes from the Philippines and Indonesia.

The Reston, VA outbreak in 1989-1990 came from Crab-eating Macaques imported from the Philippines. Initially, it was believed that the Macaques became infected on the flight to the U.S. The importer, Hazelton Laboratories, also imported other types of primates.

However, subsequent imports of Crab-eating Macaques from the Philippines were also infected with Reston Ebola, and an outbreak of Reston Ebola occurred at a monkey export facility in the Philippines in 1996.

Pigs in the Philippines have also tested positive for Reston Ebola.

So, Africa is primarily the source of Ebola, but Ebola lurks elsewhere. "Elsewhere" includes the Philippines and Indonesia.

. . . and Jesse Jackson has no business being in Dallas to insert himself in the Ebola issue.
