Rev. Jesse Jackson: ‘We’ve bled too much’

Rev. Jesse Jackson slammed the Supreme Court’s decision on the Voting Rights Act saying that civil rights activists have “bled too much” to be “stabbed in the heart” this way.

“The right to vote is too precious. We’ve bled too much, we’ve died too young, the price has been too great to now watch it be stabbed in the heart by the Supreme Court today,” the civil rights leader told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Tuesday.

Jackson urged President Obama to use his executive power to convene Congress and make a case to set the record straight on the court’s ruling and also called on the people to stand up.

“The president has taken a very strong position today because he knows that without the protected right he would not have been president in the first place. He must use his power to convene the Congress and make a case to the nation as Lyndon Johnson made a case to the nation…why we must stop any scheme that suppresses or limits voting access or the right to vote and to win,” Jackson said. “We must go back to the streets in great numbers and demand a broad-based public consensus bottom up.”

Jackson, who went to Selma, Ala., to march with Martin Luther King Jr. for voting rights in 1965, also called the court’s decision a “dangerous setback,” adding that the only reason minority groups turned out to vote the way they did in the last eight years was because of the government oversight protecting them.

That Tuesday the Supreme Court struck down a key part of the Voting Rights Act that had been in place for almost five decades and had recently been extended for 25 more years by Congress in 2006. They ruled that the requirement that some or all areas in 15 states with proven past racial discrimination had to receive approval from the Justice Department for any changes in voting laws, procedures or even polling place locations was unconstitutional.

Most black people are irrational and illogical when it comes to “civil rights” topics. Judging by Jesse Jackson’s and Melissa Harris-Perry’s comments these people actually believe that black people will lose the right to vote. For them to believe this drivel means that they must assume the absolute worst of white people. They must assume that white people are rabid racists that will deprive them of the right to vote if given the opportunity. In psychology this is known as projection. Jackson, Harris-Perry, and their ilk are racists who are so used to viewing everything inn an Us vs. Them dynamic that they assume everybody else views opposite races in an antagonistic manner like they do.

“Barack...he’s talking down to black people...telling niggers how to behave”.-Jessie Jackson.

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/item_2IKMVtS3vzxRvoAAxZ0ZGL

WASHINGTON - 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.

You are referring to the black on black murder rate I presume?

You’ve bled? How about half a million white boys who slaughtered each other over the Slave issue.

You mean bleed like any White person caught in the wrong part of town in the past 30 year?

As in “White girl bleeds a lot”?

You’re going to bleed a lot more when the politicians you elected flood your neighborhoods with Mexicans.

Hot dog! Back to the "good old days"!

I don't think so!

Maybe it is time for some literacy tests!

1. Where was Obama really born!

2. How many bubbles are there in a bar of soap?

Jessie has bled a lot of institutions of their money.

And bled that race card one too many times.

He and the other race hustlers are mad because they will have to actually get jobs and stop profiting from Liberal White Guilt and the corpse of Dr. King.

Of course Jesse the Race Pimp is upset with any weakening of racist federal laws.
Scoundrels like him have turned racial hate into a profitable industry.

But the only bleeding he has seen since MLK died is the blood he has sucked from victims of his race scams.

Jesse has built a fortune by extorting millions from Amricans and corporations hreatening them with racist federal laws and trumped up charges of racism.

He needs federal race laws to protect his cash flow.
