Jackson: Black Voters Deserve
A Return On Election ‘Investment’

Chicago Sun-Times, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:AltaD, 11/10/2012 3:42:58 PM

Chicago - The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Saturday said that President Obama’s reelection was “a great victory,” but that it would be incomplete with a reconstruction of urban America and an investment in the communities where the blacks who voted overwhelmingly for the president live. “We’re happy and full of pride,” in the president’s reelection, Jackson told the crowd at the Saturday morning forum at Rainbow/PUSH headquarters, 930 E. 50th St., “but our houses remain raggedy … our schools remain closed.” Despite attempts at voter suppression in states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida,

Too bad, Jackhole, your communities are worse off now then they were in ´08 and the downward trend will continue.

Guess what Jesse,your houses and schools will remain raggedy because your folks are raggedy.

Oh sure,Obama will waste several billion acting like he cares but he´s a typical,superficial liberal first, who couldn´t care less about the human condition.How´s his FEMA promises working out in NY/NJ. NJ probably is improving because they have a governor who actually gives a rat´s butt.

Black people DO NOT suffer from a lack of money,they suffer from a lack of having their priorities straight.They accept lower lifestyles in exchange for not having to be responsible for themselves. They´ve been brainwashed into thinking the world is there for the taking because of something that unfortunately happened 150 years ago.

Guess what,the slave trade is still alive and well in the world and the left couldn´t care less about it. Remember ACORN readily accepting the idea of underage prostitutes from other countries setting up shop here.

Now we´re being told that social conservatism is outdated by slithering c**** like Kathleen Parker.The only problem we have is urban America stealing elections from decent people.

Obama and his ilk want to start forcing private companies into a hiring quota system.This is the next big thing to hit the fan and they´ll start pressuring Judge Kennedy to step down so things like this will get a free ride through the court system.

He´s demanding a bail for blacks, just like the auto companies got.
FTA-Saying that automobile companies and banks got bailouts, “we’re the people who provided the votes —
we want to be bailed out. "
“It’s time to march again.
March for healthcare ( ????) ,
march for jobs."
" We are the new mainstream,” Jackson said. ...
We have the power, we have the votes."
“ there must be a plan for reconstruction”
of urban America."
And on and on and on.

Sorry, but the Hispanics are expecting to be taken care of because it was THEY who did this not Black voters, Jesse.

After all, you voted 92% or more previously for the Dems so your continued support isn´t anything new.

What you really should be doing is switching parties. Those white liberals are lining up with another larger group, so they´ll be getting the new spoils.

The Democrats created the monster that now is the poor urban black community. The Democrats propagandized, indoctrinated, brainwashed, and turned these people over the past few generations into the undereducated, selfish, ignorant and dependent people many have become today. Yes, this was done on purpose. It was evil and insidious but it is what happened. The Dems and leftists want a rift between the people and they especially are happy to create new slaves at the expense of an entire race of people, including those who sold out their own people for their own personal gain, wealth and power. They don´t care about anyone but themselves.

In a newspaper article about the lack of black characters in today´s television shows, it was mentioned that this is unfair, because African-Americans spend far more time watching TV than their fellow Americans: an average of seven hours a day.

Note to Jesse: tell your constituents to turn off the TV and go clean up the yard or paint the house.

We´ll get to that.

First, let´s see whether blacks, 12% of the population, make a net 12%-of-GDP contribution to the country, after deducting for: police costs; court costs; incarceration; welfare; excess non-education costs in schools; and so on. Oh -- deduct the salary of any no-show House member, too. Why did that come to me?

Could be a while before we find anything "owed" to blacks from the rigged election.

What kind of return on investment are the voters who just voted for son Jesse.

To Jessie Jackson I have some free advice:

1. Pay your child support for your illegitament child.

2. Tell your bipolar congressman son to cop a plea deal with the feds about his million dollar bribe to Rod Blogoyavich for Obama´s senate seat.

3. As far as a return on your investment in the minority community, how about demanding some slave reperations for every black in the world living or dead or related to someone living or dead and demand a commission on evry transaction.

BTW you´re welcome.

I am becoming a racist. I admit it. I wasn´t one until Obama, Jackson, Eric Holder, the New Blak Panthers and Trayvon´s pathetic, opportunistic parents made me one.

I now expect a flash mob gone awry to be black kids, without even having to see the video. I expect the person who calls 911 over an order of fries or nuggets to be black, and am right 99% of the time. When I hear about unacceptable behavior in Detroit, Baltimore, Newark or Chicago, I just know what color the perpetrator is.

If you think my wallet entitles you to an Obama phone or just Obama money, then I know your race.

Is it racist to make judgments on what you see, when the people involved are always black? If so, call me a racist.

This is hilarious...what apparently the perennially (sp?) stupid dyed-in-the-wool Dems, 99% of the blacks, and other entitled minorities do not even comprehend is that their vote is entirely taken for granted. Since BO no longer has to pander them and "promise them stuff", their lot is going to get a lot worse.

And threatening businesses to hire more blacks is seriously not going to happen because as more over-qualified whites become unemployed they will take the jobs once held by blacks. Also, the ubiquitous cloud of discrimination law suits by blacks seriously hinders their employability.

Finally, why would any employer hire someone who lives (tolerates) in a "raggedy" community, does not raise and educate their numerous kids from different daddies, wear pants below their back side, speak in ebonics and reveres gangs and gangsta rap?

And as a prior poster noted, the media coverage of soaring black on white crime, rioting, looting, flash mobbing and gangsta crime video taped and spread on the internet only cements either prior stereotypes about blacks or develops that prejudice among whites.

So they not only vote for their own destruction but secure it by behaving like barbarians.

The Chicago Public Schools’ plan to close 53 schools and 61 buildings, mostly in black neighborhoods, has some West Side residents vowing to fight the Emanuel administration until the end. As WBBM Newsradio’s Mike Krauser reports, to hear some tell it on the West Side, Mayor Rahm Emanuel is a racist liar who doesn’t care about the kids.

It’s a dubious distinction for the new class of Illinois lawmakers being sworn in Wednesday in Springfield. It’s the first time in years that three sitting lawmakers simultaneously face criminal charges. Representatives Derrick Smith and LaShawn Ford and state Sen. Donne Trotter, all Chicago Democrats, face varying charges. Smith is under federal indictment in a bribery case. Ford is accused of bank fraud. Trotter is charged with trying to bring a gun onto a plane.

Bank robbers had a busy year in 2012. The FBI said robbers have hit 218 banks in the Chicago area as of Dec. 31, compared to 115 in 2011. “Close to double what we had in the prior year,” said FBI Special Agent Joan Hyde. WBBM Newsradio’s Brandis Friedman reports, while people often look for a way to explain a spike in bank robberies, Hyde said it’s not often tied to a greater issue, like the economy. “That just doesn’t play out. Typically the bank robbers are motivated by their need for money for a drug habit, or gambling debts,” she said.

Absent significant pension system reforms, it would cost the city an extra $1.5 billion a year beginning in 2016 to start the process of restoring financial health to its pension funds, aldermen were warned Monday. If those costs kicked in, services would be cut, taxes would soar or both. Continuing to rely solely on property taxes to cover pension costs would result in a tripling of the city levy, said Ald. Patrick O'Connor, 40th, chairman of the Workforce Development and Audit Committee. The tale of looming financial woe came at a six-hour hearing as part of Mayor Rahm Emanuel's

The mother of a 6-year-old boy killed in the Connecticut school shooting used the opportunity to fill in for President Barack Obama during the weekly radio and Internet address to make a personal plea from the White House for action to combat gun violence. ´Thousands of other families across the United States are also drowning in our grief,´ said Francine Wheeler, choking back tears in the address broadcast Saturday. ´Please help us do something before our tragedy becomes your tragedy.´ Ben Wheeler was among the 20 first-graders and six adults killed in the Dec. 14 attack

Pro golfers, golf writers, and TV commentators are up in arms that Tiger Woods was only given a 2-stroke penalty for his illegal drop on the 15th hole yesterday. Tiger said last night that he dropped his ball two yards behind his previous spot, clearly violating the rule that you must drop "as nearly as possible" to your original spot. Golf people are not happy about it. They say that the new rule is B.S. (or it´s at least being misinterpreted), and Tiger should DQ himself to save the integrity of the game.

In Philadelphia, at a human abattoir on Lancaster Avenue, is where it ends, not where it starts. It starts with the perversion of language. It starts when the icons of a dissipated culture reduce a baby to a “fetus.” From there, Yeats’s blood-dimmed tide rolls rapidly in. Before long, a baby is not a person but a punishment, as President Barack Obama framed the matter in his familiar off-the-cuff iciness. Of course, to describe newborn children in their boundless possibilities and wonder would be to acknowledge, foremost, their humanity. That is why, instead, abortion enthusiasts must grope for words

Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), one of the architects of the Affordable Care Act, said on Tuesday that the healthcare law, set to go into full effect in less than eight months, is “probably the most complex piece of legislation ever passed by the United States Congress” and “is just beyond comprehension.” Rockefeller said he is concerned that early missteps with implementing the healthcare overhaul may cascade into confusion and chaos. The law, said Rockefeller, is “so complicated and if it isn’t done right the first time, it will just simply get worse.” Rockefeller’s consternation echoes comments made earlier this

They say they were just doing what the boss trained them to do. But eight former employees of a run-down West Philadelphia abortion clinic now face prison time for the work they did for Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Three have pleaded guilty to third-degree murder. And Gosnell, 72, is on trial in the deaths of a patient and seven babies allegedly born alive. In testimony at the capital murder trial this past month, an unlicensed doctor and untrained aides described long, chaotic days at the clinic. They said they performed grueling, often gruesome work for little more than minimum wage,

With President Obama, there’s always a catch. In the 2014 budget he announced last week, Obama proposed a more accurate way of calculating the inflation rate for annual cost-of-living increases in Social Security. It’s a technical change in pursuit of honesty and good government. And if adopted, it would cause benefits to grow more slowly, though almost imperceptibly so. Republican leaders in Congress ought to be delighted since they had “championed”—Obama’s word—the idea in the first place. Then came the catch. The president’s price for adopting this gentle reform was hundreds of billions in new tax increases.

According to an ABC News report, senators from the bipartisan “Gang of Eight” pushing immigration reform are expected to drop their bill, estimated at around 1,500 pages, on Tuesday, mere hours before the only scheduled Senate hearing on the topic. “A bipartisan group of senators plans to introduce its long-awaited immigration bill on Tuesday, Senate sources confirmed to ABC News,” Jim Avila and Jordan Fabian wrote on Friday. “Four Democrats and four Republicans, known as the ´Gang of Eight,´ wrapped up months of hard-fought negotiations this week and will put forth a bill that includes a pathway

On Thursday, in the midst of ongoing national debate over prospective gun control and comprehensive immigration legislation, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said that he didn’t need the approval of a majority of his own party to move forward with legislation. Referring to the so-called Hastert Rule, named after former House Speaker Denny Hastert (R-IL), which dictated that House leadership not bring up any bill for a vote without the support of a majority of the majority party, Boehner said, “Listen: It was never a rule to begin with.” Then, realizing the gravity of admitting

TALLAHASSEE - Picture this: You´re in the left lane of the interstate, driving a little below the speed limit, when some guy zips up behind you and swerves past you on the right. Then you notice the blue lights flashing. You´re savoring the satisfaction of seeing a trooper actually nab an aggressive driver — until you realize it´s you he´s pulling over. This could happen, if not very often, under a major transportation package expected to be taken up in the Senate Appropriations Committee next week. Introduced by Sen. Jeff Brandes, a St. Petersburg Republican, the bill is a 173-page

A few hours after Margaret Thatcher´s death on Monday, the snarling deadbeats of the British underclass were gleefully rampaging through the streets of Brixton in South London, scaling the marquee of the local fleapit and hanging a banner announcing, "THE B@&$! IS DEAD." Amazingly, they managed to spell all four words correctly. By Friday, "Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead," from "The Wizard of Oz," was the No. 1 download at Amazon UK. Mrs. Thatcher would have enjoyed all this. Her former speechwriter John O´Sullivan recalls how, some years after leaving office, she

LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Winters, the cherub-faced comedian whose breakneck improvisations and misfit characters inspired the likes of Robin Williams and Jim Carrey, has died. He was 87. The Ohio native died Thursday evening at his Montecito, Calif., home of natural causes, said Joe Petro III, a longtime family friend. Petro said Winters died of natural causes and was surrounded by family and friends. Winters was a pioneer of improvisational standup comedy, with an exceptional gift for mimicry, a grab bag of eccentric personalities and a bottomless reservoir of creative energy.

Hi. As you’ve probably noticed, I’m not the President. I’m just a citizen. And as a citizen, I’m here at the White House today because I want to make a difference and I hope you will join me. My name is Francine Wheeler. My husband David is with me. We live in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. David and I have two sons. Our older son Nate, soon to be 10 years old, is a fourth grader at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Our younger son, Ben, age six, was murdered in his first-grade classroom on December 14th.
