RUN JESSE RUN


What the fuck is going on with Jesse Jackson? Why now brother Jesse? Why put yourself out there like that? In case you didn't hear Rev. Jacksons comments, you can read them here. In my personal opinion, that was the worst thing I have ever heard an elder say. On that note - just because you are old doesn't make you smart or an elder. I know a 75 year old dummy trust me, gray don't make you wise.

This marks the third time a "Rev" has made a kooky statement that has Senator Obama involved in it and these are the ones that we hear about! Can you imagine the shit that is being said out of earshot? Here is something that requires me to say this with all due respect: SHUT THE FUCK UP! Media hungry and without malice you did NOTHING to help the situation. Generational Jealousy is what you are practicing. Jesse Jackson has been the invisible man on so many occasions and unbelievably, overexposed on others. Let's compare notes shall we?

The hiring of Jody Weis as Chicago Police Superintendent was a move that many considered harmful to the city and that has proved itself out in that the number of violent crimes has peaked in the short time since his hire. Jesse Jackson -Invisible.

Rev. Jackson made an appearance at the Stevie Wonder concert and remained offstage for a considerable amount of time. Knowing the relationship that Stevie and Jesse have this comes as no surprise but he had no problem sucking up that lovely Taste of Chicago limelight. Jesse Jackson- Overexposed.

Mumia Abu-Jamal has been in jail for way to long...Jesse Jackson - Invisible.

Mayor Daley and his band of merry men want to destroy Washington Park and the King Drive corridor to make their 2016 Olympic Dreams come true. This potential destruction would mean the displacement of thousands of Chicagoans - Chicagoans of color. Sort of a "black flight" from the city to the burbs. A very complex gentrification project. Jesse Jackson - Invisible.

Those are just a few examples - not mentioning the invisibility on the streets of Chicago where so much violence has taken place but he RAN to the aid of the Jena 6. Jesse Jackson - Overexposed.

Now he decides to make a comment about Senator Obama and to make it worse he "apologized" as soon as he found out about the comment being shown on the news. Why? Let that shit ride Jesse I mean you said it. That is how you felt and after all, the GJ (Generational Jealousy) makes you right in your own mind anyway. The apology in general is overplayed and making one is as stupid in some instances as the original statement.

People in Chicago know that you hate this. You can't stand Barack Obama getting all of the attention. You think it should have been YOU. You "Rev." have been suspect since the day Dr. King died on that damn balcony. You wanting to castrate Obama has nothing to do with him "talking down to black people" , it has everything to do with you being a jealous man...that sir is a sin. It is based on you not being "the one" and you making it hard to stick by you. That feeling may change and in the interest of public disclosure, Jesse Jr. and Jonathon Jackson are people that I know and you sir are a friend of members of my family who have been with you since the Operation Breadbasket days but this is where I hop off Rev. Jackson.

I am ashamed today of you Jesse Jackson. Ashamed.

Dr. King said it best:

"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."

Generational Jelousy indeed.

It's sad when EGO gets in the way.

Peace, G
