Poor Jesse must be feeling a little forgotten these days (and it's his turn, Sharpton took the last one). So Jackson is demanding a meeting with A&E and Cracker Barrel to discuss the proper direction of the show as he sees fit. It wouldn't surprise me if there was also a little hush money "donated" to Jesse's race baiting organizations.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson has stepped into the “Duck Dynasty” uproar, using the case of civil rights hero Rosa Parks to make his case against show star Phil Robertson.
“At least the bus driver, who ordered Rosa Parks to surrender her seat to a white person, was following state law,” Jackson said in a statement, according to the Chicago Tribune. “Robertson’s statements were uttered freely and openly without cover of the law, within a context of what he seemed to believe was ‘white privilege.’”
I'm wondering how this is going to help black unemployment, or high black crime statistics, unwed mothers, or any of the other serious problems in the black community. I think this is to just help Jesse remain relevant.
In the interview, Robertson said that in his Louisiana youth he picked cotton with African-Americans and never saw “the mistreatment of any black person,” adding that they were “singing and happy,” and didn’t complain about white people.
