Civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson hospitalized in Chicago

Civil rights leader Reverend Jesse Jackson has been suddenly hospitalized in Chicago as details about his condition remain a mystery.

Jackson, 84, was admitted into Northwestern Memorial Hospital on Wednesday after spending more than 60 years advocating for racial equality and economic justice.

The Rainbow PUSH Coalition said in a statement that the reverend is 'currently under observation for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy,' a neurodegenerative condition he has been managing for more than a decade.

While originally diagnosed with Parkinson's, he was confirmed to have PSP in April, the release stated.

Jackson, born in Greenville, South Carolina, attended the University of Illinois before he transferred and graduated from the North Carolina A&T State University in 1964.

He began working with Dr Martin Luther King Jr during the Civil Rights Movement after deferring his further studies at Chicago Theological Seminary.

The reverend has been dubbed the 'Conscience of the Nation' and 'the Great Unifier,' according to the PUSH coalition.

'Jackson [challenged] America to be inclusive and to establish just and humane priorities for the benefit of all,' the coalition said. 'He is known for bringing people together on common ground across lines of race, culture, class, gender and belief.'

Jackson founded the Rainbow PUSH coalition, a organization fighting for social change, and garnered national attention in the 1960s as Martin Luther King Jr's protege.

There is no cure for the brain condition PSP, which the non-profit organization CurePSP says is often misdiagnosed as Parkinson's disease. CurePSP funds research to better understand the disease, develop treatments and ultimately find a cure.

There is so much wrong with that sentence, beginning with the word "reverend."

This reminded me of long ago when Jesse ran for president in ‘84. Somone mentioned Jesse to a business owner I knew.
He said: “I’ve got my Jesse Jackson bumpersticker. It says “Run Jesse run!” That’s for the front bumper!”

No doubt he’ll not leave until the hospital coughs up
a Rainbow contribution.

Sold his soul to the Democratic elites by abandoning his once pro life, anti genocidal policies and became pro abortion. Right out of the Margaret Sanger playbook. They gave him free use of a plane in return for his acquiesence of abortion that decimated the black community.

“There is no cure for the brain condition PSP...”

That’s not the only brain condition Jesse Hijack-son has. Not extorting many corporations anymore.

The word “reverend” appears only once in the Bible and then it is a reference to God.

I don’t care what happens to him. I just don’t want to hear his name in the news for any reason whatsoever. I will be satisfied to have him fade slowly into obscurity.

He has done enough damage and put us on the road to where we are today.

What is your point? This is typical for you. Make your point if you have the guts to do it instead of posting a picture.

Come on. Don’t puss out.
