The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns: Moron Revealed #48

Moron of the Week - 48 - Jesse Jackson
Just so that I don't come across as racist or discriminatory, what with my selection of mainly "white" morons and all, this week's moron is Jesse Jackson.

So there, Jesse Jackson, I'm one person you can't protest against.

And, that means that Still Stacy is our winner this week.

Congratulations Still Stacy for knowing that Jesse Jackson is undoubtably a moron. We know him as a Reverend and as a US civil rights whiner, I mean activist.

Almost everything he complains about has to do with ethnicity, so really, it's more like he's a minority (particularly blacks, Afro-Americans, African-Americans, Negroes, and the list goes on) rights activist.

For instance, his whining that black people aren't included in NASCAR as much as they should be:

"Jesse Jackson says NASCAR should feature more African-American drivers because "negroes can drive cars fast."

"One thing I know, negroes can drive cars fast," Jackson said to laughter. "I mean, we go through red lights, even [drive] at night with our lights off. We can drive cars fast," he asserted from the podium. "

I didn't know race or colour was a determinant in how fast one drives.

If so, perhaps the police should be informed of this and be on the lookout for black drivers.

Oooo, burn on Jesse Jackson. Your stupid whining about moronic topics like this one may cause racial profiling rather than aid an ethnicity's progress.

Sucka fool.

And, it seems many black people have noticed this and are wise to his disturbing belligerence.

One African-American group actually protested against Jesse Jackson because they believed his loud-mouthed idiocies were detrimental to black issues and progress:

"Protestor Willie Ellis said he wanted to tell America, "Open your eyes: Jesse Jackson is for Jesse Jackson and Jesse Jackson only.

"He stole from the people long enough. It's time the people know the true man Jesse Jackson is. He has rode on black peoples' coattails long enough," Ellis told CNSNews.com.

"I look at him like a civil rights failure. If Martin Luther King laid down the blueprint, why has [Jackson] done everything to oppose Martin Luther King?" Davis asked. "[Jackson's] worth $40 million dollars...and Martin Luther King died broke," he added."

Sucks to be you, Jesse, when the very people you claim to be standing up for are the ones who want you to back down and disappear.

But, Jackson has managed to spin the negativity into a self-aggrandizing notion as he relates himself to Jesus and other notable figures:

"A Loop rally demanding more jobs for young black men turned into a protest against the leadership of Reverend Jesse Jackson.

"We are tired of coming here to voice our opinion when we got African-American people sitting at the table and saying they represent our interests and playing this puppet game," said one protester.

"They lashed out at Dr. King, they lashed out at Nelson Mandela, they lashed out at Jesus, so all of those who fight for change become the object of frustration," said Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rainbow-Push Coalition."

And, the moron doesn't stop there.

He is completely high on himself as a publicity hog:

"The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Wednesday he would lead an ecumenical delegation to the Middle East this week to meet with political and religious leaders about troubles in the region, including the kidnapping of two Fox News journalists.

He said his group is concerned about the fate of Israeli soldiers held hostage by Hezbollah, as well as by the kidnapping of Fox News correspondent Steve Centanni and cameraman Olaf Wiig, who were kidnapped Aug. 14 from their TV van near the Palestinian security services headquarters in Gaza City."

So, perhaps I'm missing the point here, but what does this have to do with his national organisation? This is an international matter, so why is his local organisation wasting money and taking trips overseas to discuss international civil right's matters?

I think it's just another case of Jesse's secret obsession with the lens. That and misuse of money.

You know, he really should have been an actor instead of a public bellyacher what with his wanton carnal desire for being on tv.

He further lusted for the spotlight as he whined about the movie Barbershop when it came out.

Jackson demanded that the black film makers apologise for the jokes in the movie regarding Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks.

Again, a black group, Barbers no less, went against Jesse and insisted that he apologise for his comments and criticism of the movie:

"The CEO of the [National Association of Cosmetologists], James Stern, told Reuters that he screened the film for over 100 African-American barbers, and they had zero problems with the movie. Stern had a strong message for Jackson. He asserted that members of his group have lost business due to Jackson's comments. If Jesse decides not to apologize, the group plans to sue him for defamation of character.

"Reverend Jackson did not consider the future of black filmmakers. We, as blacks, have to let the movie studios know that when he is wrong, we're willing to speak out for ourselves," Stern said."

The black card is Jesse's only card, and he's not even playing that very well.

Give it up, Jesse, clearly you haven't been benefiting anyone... except your pocketbooks.

Yes, Jesse is all about Jesse, and he seems to be monopolising only for himself and his loved ones rather than thinking of the greater good. You may realise that once you read about his questionable use of non-profit, tax-exempt monies.

"It took more than a year of nagging, but the state of Illinois finally came up with the CEF [Jesse's Citizenship Education Fund] tax returns for 1998 and 1999. And O'Reilly found a bombshell buried in the returns.

"It all began with the neatly typed word 'None.' That was the word on the line where Jackson's people were supposed to list any staffers paid more than $50,000 a year."

That turned out to be untrue. Karen Stanford, then executive director of CEF, had been paid somewhere between $64,000 and $120,000 in 1999. Four other people were paid in excess of $50,000 that year."

Karen Stanford is the woman that he, a Reverend, had a child out of wedlock with while having an extramarital affair.

What a shining example of moronity.

Jesse is much deserving of this week's title, and congrats again to Jesse Jackson's Skeleton Closet

Please visit this week's winner Still Stacy. Hmm... could this be an intentional racist mistake against Still Stacy by one Samantha Burns? Where is Jesse Jackson now!?

Not only is Jackson a publicity hog, but a colossal embarrassment to all the American people.

Wow, some of the quotes you have in this post by Jackson are the most rascit things I've ever heard. "Blacks can drive fast" - what's up with that crack? Now if you'll escuse me, I have to get to work here in Hymie-Town.

One of my favorite Lou Reed songs of all time is "Good Evening, Mr. Waldheim," in which Jackson is ripped several new ones. That was back in the 80s. Imagine if Reed had waited to write the song till now.

For the record, I've never been to an official 'NASCAR' event. Some other redneck stuff though. Hmm . . .

Posted by: Stacy | September 8, 2006 09:37 AM

Stacy,

That was caused by the HTML error.

Moonbat mode on.

But I still believe Sam was oppressing you! See that subtle HTML error caused the NASCAR link to link to your site, thus implying you watch NASCAR, thus saying you are a redneck. We all know everyone who watches NASCAR is a redneck and all rednecks are racist.

However, since only black people can drive fast, you are being exposed as a hypocrite for watching NASCAR. Since only white people watch NASCAR, all white people are therefore hypocrites, redneck and racist. Since you are white Stacey, you are a racist hypocrite and hence Sam exposed you as an evil oppressing white cracker in that mistaken HTML. Got it?

Moonbat mode off.
