more jesse crap

You know - I feel sorry for Jesse.
Poor guy huffs and puffs and gets nothing done.
The Movement he has fought so hard for has moved on without him. He was there in the midst of it and now everything he has fought for has been won and he never got any of the credit... He might as well have been working on the Internet Development Project with Al when he invented it.
Since there is no real racism anymore as there was in the 60s... He has to manufacture it.
If Jesse wants to see real racism today - he needs to go to Japan.

You know - second thought...
Screw Jesse Jackson. He is an unhappy walking bag of putresant vomit. Full of anger, hate, and selfloathing.
His actions are just as distastful as any spew from the KKK or any Neo-Nazi group... his is just a different flavor of the same thing. Jesse Jackson needs to go away... The best way for that to happen is for the media to stop giving him so much damn coverage. With no media - there is no Jesse. And I think everyone could agree - the whole world would be a better place without Jesse Jackson. Even in his heyday - he never did anything but stand beside others who did and said great things. Jesse, Greatness is not contagious - you can't and didn't catch any of it by proximity.
I had lunch with Jeff Cooper once - had a photo taken... I aint a better shot with a rifle because of it.
 
George,
I could not have put it any better!

p.s. you had luch with Jeff Cooper? I'd give my......to do that!
 
unfortunately jesse's "reputation" as a black leader still gets him the air time - friday morning on one of the network morning shows they had an interview with him. he was, of course, saying the election was stolen, and that he's going to have a march in protest of bush, etc, same riot inciting stuff he's been doing, and the person interviewing him didn't say a thing in rebuttal....

after this interview, it's obvious that, instead of trying to do things to fix the situation, certain people are just trying to buildup more fuel for the fire. people like jesse jackson, al sharpton, diane watson (of la riot fame who said something along the lines of "the people are angry, so they have the right to express themselves" as night fell the first day of the riots and flames engulfed the city) do more to harm race relations than improve them. whenever a nonblack race does something to a black person, they are immediately there screaming oppression, discrimination, and racism, but when there is an incident where the situation is reversed, where are they? why aren't they there to stand for the rights of the nonblack person? so much for bringing people together and equality for all...

reminds me of something -
"all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" - animal farm
 
Mr. Ventura may or may not be bright but 1)he's done nothing overtly harmful yet 2)he's not promised anything overtly harmful

That puts him well ahead of most politcritters in my view.
 
All this BS about the "disenfranchisement" of the black vote is REALLY starting to tick me off.

What Jesse isn't saying, because it would make him look like an ass, is that voter participation in largely black precincts in Florida was up as much as 60% over the last election, in some cases to historic highs.

The black vote also turned out in greater-than-normal numbers all around the nation.

There's also a LOT of crap going around right now about how blacks went to the polls in lots of areas, only to find that they were no longer carried on the voter registration rolls, or that they had registered but they weren't in the books.

There's a few VERY good explanations for that:

--Many of those who were dropped from the voter rolls were dropped in accordance with Florida state law, because they hadn't participated in an election in several years. That's the same in ALL states.

--Many of those who claimed that they registered, but weren't on the books, registered AFTER the state-mandated deadline. Of course they're not going to be on the books.

Disenfranchisement my lilly white butt.
 
Another MN resident chimes in:
Ventura is an idiot... he made a lot of CCW promises - and tha'ts all they turned out to be...
 
I find it fascinating that the bigoted republicans nominated blacks for Secretary of State and National Security Advisor, both of which are more prestigeous posts than any executive-branch job Democrats nominated blacks to. Ya'll can correct me if I'm wrong, but methinks JJ is bitching about the wrong party keeping the black man (or woman) down. Then again, I'm waiting for him to say on TV that Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell aren't really black since they sold out to whitey. What an a**hole.
 
JWR,

Actually heard something to that effect. A lib reporter talking to Bush asked him if he was just aligning himself to look good. And someone else spoke up and said he was just employing token blacks to posts. Bush shut them up with his laid back rancher style of talk.

Also heard on talk radio that the hispanic population actually feels that Bush will most likely do better by them since TX has a large population of people with Mexican and Spanish heritage. Is'nt interesting that Klinton/Gore did'nt seem to have many minorities in their staff? And Gore is from a state well known for KKK, big tobacco and has a family oil background himself.

What has been really interesting is all the new sayings we can add to our vocabulary. I.e., disenfrancisement, chads, pregnant and hanging chads, rule of law, selective recounts, algoreithms, etc..... and the fact that the education system can't even teach someone how to punch a ballot.

The fact Tennessee did'nt vote for their home town guy should speak volumes and naturally the media ignores it.
 
Over the past couple of months I have been in some BRUTAL discussions about African Americans and their party affiliations.

I truly believe that the way that it is structured right now that public assistance (welfare, food stamps, etc.) is nothing more than economic slavery that preys particularly heavily on the black community, and that their leaders' blind acceptances of these programs keeps them in economic and political servitude to the Democratic Party.

As it was originally envisioned under Lyndon Johnson's "War on Poverty" program, public assistance was to be a leg up in times of trouble, with job training retraining programs that were to be an integral part of the package.

These programs were later killed, largely by Democrats, I guess after they saw welfare as an excellent way to enslave the minds of millions of Americans.

The balance has finally been tipping in the correct direction at the state level in states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Virginia, which have forced through "Welfare to Work" programs that provide the job training that was stripped out of the original welfare proposals.

Liberals screamed bloody murder when these proposals were originally introduced, saying they would do nothing except run people out of assistance that they need to survive.

On the contrary, these programs have been largely successful, and the liberals haven't been able to scream much about them. They're giving people the skills necessary to become productive members of the community. These programs have, in some cases, broken the welfare cycle for people whose only "job" has been to receive public assistance.

It's amazing, and disgusting, but I fully believe that Democrats fear putting these people to work, because they fear the lies of their party will become clear.
 
It is interesting to note that in those Florida counties where black people were supposely disenfranchised, the County Canvassing Boards are mostly dominated by Democrats.
 
Oleg, with regard to Governor Ventura, George Will did an excellent column on him a few years ago. To quote part of the column from memory: "Governor Ventura is a mean-free zone in politics. He is an honest man, curious about the world and without pretense, except for the delusion that it is a public service for him to give public tours of the mansion that is his mind, no matter how sparsely some of the rooms in it are furnished." I love Will's writing (yeah, I know his RKBA views are lacking).

As for the Jesse that this topic is about, I'll take Roy Innis any day over that race-baiting poverty pimp. J.C. Watts was right on the money with that description.
