Jesse Jackson: 'You can't vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man'

Quote:
Jesse Jackson: 'You can't vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man'

The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Wednesday night criticized Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.) for voting against the Democrats’ signature healthcare bill.

“We even have blacks voting against the healthcare bill,” Jackson said at a reception Wednesday night. “You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.”

The remark stirred a murmur at the reception, held by the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Foundation as part of a series of events revolving around the 25th anniversary of Jackson’s run for president. Several CBC members were in attendance, including Chairwoman Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), who’d introduced Jackson.

Davis, who is running for governor, is the only black member of Congress from Alabama.

He is also the only member of the CBC to have voted against the healthcare bill earlier this month.

Davis referred to Jackson’s 1988 run for president in a statement, issued through his office, that said he would not engage Jackson on his criticism.

“One of the reasons that I like and admire Rev. Jesse Jackson is that 21 years ago he inspired the idea that a black politician would not be judged simply as a black leader,” Davis’s statement said. “The best way to honor Rev. Jackson’s legacy is to decline to engage in an argument with him that begins and ends with race.”
ZING!!!!! That's gotta leave a mark.

It doesn't take much to make the idiot in jackson come out. He objects to blacks being grouped by race and then states somthing as stupid as vote this way or you get kicked out of the black race. Dumbfuck, but he always has been.

Sooner or later Jackson and Sharpton are going to get lynched by black people.

I don't understand why anybody continues to give this man a shred of credibility. He's a known crook and extortionist on top of his comments.

Re: Jesse Jackson: 'You can't vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man'

How does he get a pass on this? Just suppose that Rush Limbaugh said, "You can’t vote for healthcare and call yourself a white man.”
The Media would be all over him, demanding he be removed from his radio show. I really have a problem with anyone who calls himself a black man. Call your self an American, and I'll listen.

Re: Jesse Jackson: 'You can't vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man'

Of course he gets a pass hes a black liberal.........All liberals love his racist ass, any liberal who claims they don't is a fucking liar.

What a cunt.

Someone should really tell these racist liberals that newtons laws don't only apply to gravity but the concept can be applied socially as well. Some call it Karma.

Of course the motherfucking liberals don't comprehend the black folks are trying to enslave the white folks and this is EXACTLY why Jackson said what he did..... Its all in the Black Manifesto.

This motherfucker goddamn knows the blacks will once again be a liability to any socialized health care, he knows collectively they CANT and WONT pull their own weight and the WHITE MAN will end up picking up the slack and paying for this program.

What Jackson said is basically - "YOUR NOT BLACK IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE WHITE PEOPLE SHOULD PAY FOR YOUR HEALTH CARE"

Of course the liberals will try to paint this as a secluded event and they will insist that Jackson is only a nut and NO ONE thinks like him....

Fuck em all.

More like a "savior."

Hitler was also a "savior."

Historically every leader who was deemed to be a "savior" has turned out to be evil.

That's a great quote. I'm going to have to file that away for later.

Does anyone really care what Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton have to say? They are both media whores.
