WASHINGTON – Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. says he is not a target of the investigation that led to this week's arrest of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
A lawyer for Jackson acknowledged Wednesday that the Illinois Democrat is the so-called Senate Candidate 5 in the federal complaint against Blagojevich.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson has said the United States will rid itself of years of "Zionist" control under an administration headed by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
The New York Post quoted the veteran civil rights leader on Tuesday as having said that although "Zionists who have controlled Ame...
As part of our program, we visited several not-for-profit organizations or NPOs in the Chicago area. Among these is the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, an NPO formed as a merger of two non-profit organizations — Operation PUSH (People United to Save Humanity) and the National Rainbow Coalition — founded by Jesse Jackson. The organizations pursue social justice, civil rights and political activism.We w

THE N-WORD’S Funeral:
On Monday, July 9, 2007, during its 98th Annual National Convention in Detroit, Michigan, the NAACP will conduct a mock funeral to bury the N-Word.

I knew Jesse Jackson pissed off a lot of people, but I didn’t see this one coming at all. It used to appear that Jesse Jackson was revered by many in the rap game, but it appears that in the eyes of some rappers, his time is up.

The Reverend Jesse Jackson has always been a leech feeding off of the misery of his own people for decades. He resents and is jealous of Barack Obama. When Obama reprimands Black fathers for failing to raise their children, Jackson takes it as a personal swipe. Why? Because his tyrannical reign as the brain of all things Black (in his mind, not mine) developed nothing but more misery and resentmen
The nutty professor or what? No, just Jesse Jackson sounding off at the mouth. Whatever has Barack Obama done to him, except, of course, look electable? Jackson claimed Obama was "speaking down to black people" by telling them they need to take responsibility for their own lives. I am sure responsibility means being given opportunities to florish and to be successful without seeking handouts on ev
Jesse Jackson has been on the American political scene for over forty years and during the time has allowed his mouth to speak before his mind was thinking. During a break on Sunday at a Fox News program, Jesse Jackson made a crude remark about wanting to cut off Senator Barack Obama’s testicles while unaware [...]
It seems like the news stories get weirder every day.Jesse Jackson has been caught on tape making some incredibly crude and incredibly offensive comments about presidential candidate Barack Obama.We have no idea why Jesse Jackson or anyone else would say something like this:
The quote says a lot in few words. Modern and fast urbane lifestyle demands a lot from working parents. Time seems to be getting extinct. Their children have some great companions to share their stories with - soft toys, cartoons, play stations, Barbie doll, superman, the room pillow or sometimes the pet dog…

I've been busy for the last couple days, so here is a quote for ya."There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life,” Jesse Jackson once told an audience, “than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery--then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”Have a nice day!
I am sorry I missed this yesterday, but thanks to podcasting, it's available nonetheless.Yesterday, the Rev. Jesse Jackson joined Imus in the Morning to discuss the life and times of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Of course, Jackson was with King the night he was assassinated in Memphis, and he was one of the last people King spoke with before being gunned down. The interview is fascinating and lasts about 19 minutes. I hope you'll take a few moments to listen. The interview renews my faith things can get better in this country. Just a year ago, who would have dreamed Jackson would be a guest on Imus' program?
This is VINTAGE Jesse Jackson. The Jesse we all came to know and love, took a step back in history and very quietly reminded us of the Jesse in '84 and '88 with a very nice and unsuspected tip of the fedora to Senator Obama at Saturday's State of the Black Union.Also nicely expressed by former Congressman Cleo Fields later in the program..."Rosa Parks sat down so the rest of us could stand up. We stood up so Dr. King could march. Dr. King marched so Jesse could run. Jesse ran so Obama could WIN!"
The Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, while visiting a primary school class, found themselves in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.
The teacher asked both men if they would like to lead the discussion of the word “tragedy”. So the illustrious Rev Jackson asks the class for an example of [...]
The Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr., has taken up a lot of crusades in his lifetime. These days, Rev. Jackson is focusing his attention on homeowners who are in danger of having their homes foreclosed. As you may have heard, U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson announced last week that the mortgage industry was working with the U.S. Treasury Department on a broad plan to save the homes of subprime borrowers with adjustable-rate mortgages who cannot afford higher payments as their interest rates reset in coming months, but who otherwise could afford to stay in their homes. On Monday, Chicago news radio station WBBM 780 reported:
Jackson supports to the idea of a freeze on adjustable rate mortgages, but he wants it to apply to a bigger group of homeowners.
He says the crisis requires a full scale government intervention like what was done following the savings and loan scandal in the 1980s.
Jackson says proposals in Congress to restrict future lending are inadequate because they do nothing abou
On December 10, the subprime borrowers are marching on Wall Street.It is a bit pointless, in my view. Wall Street has already heard from subprime borrowers. Bankers already know that there is a problem.

Hardbeatnews, NEW YORK, NY, Sat. Nov. 3, 2007: Popular US Civil Rights Leader, Rev. Jesse Jackson, did not appear at a Trinidad & Tobago pre-election rally tonight as was originally scheduled.
I cannot say for sure what Martin Luther King would say about his one time protégé Jesse Jackson or what the civil rights movement has brought to his people after 40 years. What would Martin Luther King think of the condition of the black family structure, once the envy of the nation? What would Martin Luther King think of the strutting gold encrusted rappers and professional athletes? Would Martin Luther King say it was ok for blacks to call each other nigger or the women 'ho's'? Somehow, I doubt it. And what exactly is the point of Jesse Jackson saying that Barack Obama is not black enough? Then later he does not even remember making the comment. It is kind of sobering to see the way he tosses around such horrific personal attacks so casually that he does not even remember them a few hours later. I can tell you why Barack Obama scares Jesse Jackson. Barack Obama has succeeded in the white mans world the same as Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, Tiger Woods, Condi Rice and

Jesse Jackson Arrested…
June 24, 2007
Jesse Jackson was arrested Saturday while protesting outside of a local gun shop in South Chicago.
The charge was one count of criminal trespass. When asked, Jackson refused to move away from the entrance to Chuck's Gun Shop in Riverdale. For the last several weeks, Jackson has been protesting with others in the community after a 16 year old honor student was shot on a city bus.
The police have said that the shooting was gang-related and that the teen was not the intended target. However, Jackson says that because the shop is so close to Chicago that it provides gangs to easier access to guns.
If you look at the preceding carefully and take into consideration the content, you can see that Jackson is either simply ignorant of the current laws set forth in America on firearms, or he’s just causing trouble for a small shop owner for no reason.
The fact is, to buy a firearm from a legitimate dealer
