Has Jesse Jackson proved yet again that he is a Racist?

What is the latest "example" of him doing so? Do you have a link for the relevant story?

Inevitably, he will.

He certainly has tried repeatedly to prove his racism. Perhaps he has finally succeeded.

I think that there are some racist tendancies in Rev. Jackson.

oh yea

Has Jesse Jackson ever given any indication over the decades that he is anything BUT a racist.....a selfserving racist.

You are, that's for sure.

I read the story and tried to find another interpretation. Jackson is reported to have said, a black lawmaker "can't vote against health care and call yourself a black man,". Artur Davis, D-Ala, the only black congressman to vote NO on the health care bill was the apparent target of Jesse Jackson's outrage.

A day later he followed with a written explanation "Representatives should all vote their conscience in the interest of their constituency. There is a growing disparity among the black and the poor and we desperately need voices and votes. Among the black and the poor, the infant mortality rate is higher, life expectancy is shorter, poverty is growing and unemployment is highest,"

I must conclude that Jesse Jackson is at his core a man who sees the above health issues as black and therefore any health care bill is welcome. He adds "the poor" as a second group needing health care on the second day but it does not change his focus. As I see it, when medical bills stack, all but the top 5% of the USA are too poor to pay out of pocket.
