The Rev. Jesse Jackson praised President Obama’s remarks on Trayvon Martin on Friday, saying they were a step towards healing the country.
“There’s a step in the direction of healing. Of course, he has had to suppress much of his feelings because of just the intensity of it all,” Jackson said on CNN. “You know, if he had done the saxophone thing like Bill Clinton did, I would consider it inclusion. If he had done it, it would have been considered polarizing. He has had to walk on those egg shells, but I think that the situation now is so intense he felt the need to express and I think it’s good for the healing of the nation.”
Obama spoke of creating a national conversation about race and improving the situation for youth in America, but Jackson said it takes more than just a conversation.
“We must invest in the formative years of these children,” Jackson said. “So we need more than a conversation. We need transportation and education and trade skill training. And that will cost. It will cost more to not do it.”
In regards to the potential federal prosecution of Zimmerman from the Department of Justice, Jackson said he might be disappointed if they decide against any action, but that Trayvon Martin is a symbol of “a deeper malady.”
“Do you realize that there are more than a million black men in jail, the most of any place in the world?” Jackson said. “We have had this jail negative safety net and that’s why President Obama suggests we need to invest in it, not just talk about it.”
This is such stale old sh!t.
The race pimp speaks! Ka ching!
The last thing Jesse wants is to “heal’ the country. It would be a disaster for his cash flow.
There is a ton of money in racism. If Jessie Jackson were to STFU and go home, he would have to get a job, because he does not earn money the way the rest of us do.
Ping.
And like Obama, never has.

Obama and Sharpton are both race-baiters. There’s just no other way to explain Obama’s “remarks” today than just stirring everything up again.

Rev. Jesse Jackson: ‘Healing the nation’
*****************************************
Healing or Heeling...as in heeling a dog. He and his other thug kings think we should be trained in to letting them shame and run over us with their race baiting riots. Hey Jesse, take your riots and SHOVE EM where the sun doesn’t shine...HA
Rev. Jesse Jackson: ‘Healing the nation’
Jesse needs to ‘start with his son’, not the ‘nation’.
Healing the nation means.......send me more tax payer money to squander and use against them
His version of blowin' a tune wouldn't be right for prime time TV...
The only healing Jerkson is interested in, is increasing the size of his wallet!
JJ can truthfully say “if I had a son, he’d be like Trayvon”
His legitimate son is prison bound(I think)
We never hear about his bastards
