Default Re: Why Jesse Jackson should burn in hell

The statement was a way of saying that the issues that we remember Rosa Parks most for, the issues that she fought for, that she symbolically represents are still alive today. It is a way of saying that we shouldn't forget Rosa and what she stood for.

It was a way for Jesse to say that he considers it is a slap in the face to Rosa (and what she stood for) to nominate someone he believes to be racially insensitive the week of her death.

Only because of race-baiters like J.J. and pro-discrimination policies like "affirmative action."

[/ QUOTE ]Okay, you may have a point, but the bottom line is JJ deserves to burn in hell. He is a elite extortionist and schiester. He and Don King are in a league of their own. Sad really too, because he could have done SO much for the black community, but greed and power got the better of him.

If you are honestly saying that you think the only reason race/civil rights issues are alive today is because of Jesse Jackson and Affirmative Action, I guess I don't have anything else to say to you on the topic --- we're just miles and miles apart.

While I agree with much of what JJ said, I disagree with his method of getting the message out, since I think that bringing it up at such an inappropriate time really delegitimizes his statements, regardless of how right they might have been.
