..had no idea he was ill.

 

[Redscarlet]

He was 95 , he had a good life.

You may have him confused with Duval? I thought he was 84... maybe I have them confused..

 

[Claud-Henry Smoot]

Jessie was no Robert Duvall

 

[Charlie Marlow]

His point was moot

 

[SuperBigFan69]

No one held the chicago small business owner hostage like Jesse!

Man, did that guy terrorize small business owners...for 40-50 years.

I waited in line with him for the toilet on a transatlantic flight. Felt like I really knew the guy.

Jackson made a stop in Nebraska when he ran for president in ‘88. While I never supported or voted for him, he was a captivating speaker.

Mama always said “if you can’t somethin nice…”. But mama never watched JJ shakedown businesses for protection money.

meanwhile, sharpton looks like he died 7 years ago

He was an exceptionally gifted race hustler. It was very lucrative work. His son was not quite as good at it though.

 

[Claud-Henry Smoot]

Hard to believe he was near MLK when he was killed

I guess you really got a "sense" of what he was made of!

I grew up in Chicago years ago and JJ was mentioned on the news almost every single night. He was such a big name.

 

[Antwill]

He was a politician, that's for sure. I remember he was very pro-life, but the second he decided to run for president as a Democrat, he became radically pro-abortion. It was an olympic gymnast level flip-flop .

Propped up by Trump. Trump gave him access to places he normally could t have gone.

So they finally buried him on this last Saturday. Almost 3 weeks to have the burial seems a little excessive.

They had to give Biden time to get his ice cream, sniff some children's hair, and get prepared to deliver a nonsensical speech about himself stuttering trying to connect in some way with the black people in the crowd. Then the growth of African population as if it has anything to do with Jackson's lifelong message.

Or Clinton, Obama, Biden and Harris using this as a political tool. Thank goodness Jesse Jackson Jr called them out on it for pretending to align with Jackson when it was convenient for them.
