Here We Go… Jesse Jackson: “Blacks Are Under Attack”

Send in the race hustlers…
Jesse Jackson said he hoped that the Trayvon Martin slaying was another transformative moment in US history. The Chicago activist also told reporters that “blacks are under attack” in America.
The LA Times reported:
Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson said Friday that he’s grateful the rest of the country has sat up and taken notice of the tragic slaying of Trayvon Martin. But he can’t help but wonder: Why has it taken so long for everyone else to recognize the chronic injustices that African Americans face?
“We’re surprised that everyone else is surprised,” Jackson told the Los Angeles Times. African Americans have tried for decades to get the rest of America to understand their plight, he said, particularly their beliefs that justice is still elusive in many parts of America, especially the Deep South.
Then along comes the Trayvon Martin case, and facts that are not in contention: Volunteer neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman pursued and then gunned down the unarmed 17-year-old last month, and never faced arrest because police said there was no evidence to contradict his claim that he fired in self-defense.
“I hope that this will be a transformative moment,” Jackson said.
Jackson was speaking Friday morning from the Chicago offices of his Rainbow PUSH Coalition.
Meanwhile, across town from where the Martin slaying took place, the trial started for Shawn Tyson, a black youth who is accused of murdering two British tourists in Miami. Tyson made the two tourists strip off their shirts then shot them dead… Don’t expect any major headines on this story. It doesn’t fit the media narrative.

No adjective strong enough to describe my desire to bitch-slap this race-baiting MFer.
democraps suck commented:
didn’t take long for the racist race baiter to make his presence known…hey jessie do us all a favor and jump off a cliff…you have no importance in anything you say or do
Cargosquid commented:
Blacks ARE under attack.
From other blacks.
Even JESSE opined that he hopes that the footsteps behind him on a dark night in a bad neighborhood belong to a white man.
RKflorida commented:
Jesse, trust me on this, if blacks were really under attack it would look very different than it does now. You would not be around to spread hate.
Sickofobama commented:
Because America elected a black Communist (because most who voted for him are dumb, racist, or Communists themselves), it was the worst thing to ever happen to America.
If America had elected a black American patriot – such as Allen West – our country would not be ailing like Obama has made i.
Obama is the disease of hatred and it is spreading.

What was 6’2″ Trayvon Martin, wearing a hoodie, doing in a gated community without permission in the middle of the night?
“[F]acts that are not in contention:”Martin attacked George Zimmerman, knocked him to the ground and was beating him when Zimmerman shot. The officer who took Zimmerman into custody filed a report that the night watchman was bleeding from the face and the back of the head. Five witnesses confirm Zimmerman account.
As for gunfire, George Zimmerman was being held down and beaten by a much larger man when he used his legally acquired 9 MM to save his life. The Second Amendment recognizes a citizen’s right to self defense.
Zimmerman is Hispanic. Is it acceptable for blacks to attack Hispanics with impunity? or do they enjoy that privilege only with whites?
My only criticisms of Zimmerman’s actions are (1) he did not shoot his attacker sooner (2) he did not fire two rounds (anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice) and (3) he did not use a larger caliber, one that begins with a 4.
Hardnox commented:
@Arch
Thanks for the details and I agree with your criticisms.
The facts are that this event will be manipulated to garner the most amount of votes for the left. I don’t recall Jackson crying out when there was a massacre in his hometown of Chicago on St Patrick’s day but then again it was Balck on Black murder and that’s OK.
The only think Jackson and his ilk want to transform is our money into his wallet.
pamlinson commented:
Why doesn’t Jessie go to the Hispanic community and raise hell? He didn’t look like a cracka to me.
Militant Conservative commented:
Now the facts are coming out.
Knew if I waited the truth would be known.
kato commented:
Yeah, race pimp, they’re being attacked with Obama Money. Every way they turn, another handout is being forced upon them.
But with reference to the shooting, I’m in no position to judge the shooter, but it certainly appears that the police were negligent.
Still, one doesn’t really need to wonder what the MSM response would be if the victim was an upstanding white boy. There would be no MSM response. The MSM are the enablers of the race pimps; one of the scummiest of them is even on the payroll.
JimmyT commented:
Jesse and Al Sharpton–Time to raise their “race” money on the backs of the black community. And ditto #3—If Jesse and Al want to see “blacks under attack”, (of course it’s other blacks attacking them) they should come to STL.
nocoen commented:
Hey Jessie…what about the many, many, many victims of black ganstas that are hurt/killed every day??? What’s that?? Doesn’t fit that hyped up opportunity to shake down someone for some greenbacks to support your mistress and your illegitimate kids??? I am sure that MLK would really like to have a few words with you about how you have perverted the noble movement he started so long ago into something that spews stuff more suited for a bowel movement…
Objective Analysis commented:
Now when there is black on black crime and murder, Rev. Sharpton, Rev. Jackson, Farrakhan, Color of Change and others are no where to be found.
As soon as you have white (who is actually hispanic) kill a black person, HERE THEY COME FOR SPOTLIGHT, MONEY AND ATTENTION.
Just sad.
Little Joe commented:
Jesse Jackson will not be happy until there are race wars.
SeniorD commented:
Oh, puh-leeze!
The urban culture promotes violence. Blacks are killing one another all the time yet not one peep comes out of the mouths of these hustlers.
I’ll listen to these shakedown artists when they start mouthing off about urban crime (and the need for Neighborhood Watches) rather than about getting face time in the local news shows.

Lord ….jessie is such a zipper weasel …..90 % of interracial violence between blacks and whites is black on white

Kato:
I think the police did the right thing. Zimmerman had made a 911 call earlier. The dispatcher told him not to confront the intruder. It’s unclear exactly what happened, but it seems that Martin approached the watchman and started a fight. A neighbor saw him holding Zimmerman on the ground, punching him repeatedly. They heard a shot and Zimmerman was getting up; Martin wasn’t. After interviewing several witnesses and looking at Zimmerman’s injuries, it appeared to be self defense and the police had no reason to hold him.
It’s interesting that it took four weeks for the left to craft a narrative that a white man had murdered a very young black boy. The picture on his Face Book page was changed showing him as a 13 year old. Zimmerman sounds Jewish, making the story even more attractive. As with Gabby Giffords, the media blamed the Koch Brothers, for contributing to republicans Rush, Newt and Rick for their statements and even blamed Mitt for not saying anything.
Jesse has his usual blather – race hate, foreclosure, student loans, unemployment, prisons, injustice for the black man, etc. One subject that didn’t come up was Blago going to jail while Jesse Jackson Jr goes free.

…..and so it goes……..
The race pimp-in-chief calls in the mugger-prince of race pimps to foment another race riot, hoping to get a little ‘racial sympathy’ for his pathetic performance as POTUS because he’s ………. are you sitting down?…….BLACK……
Oh wait a minute, I forgot. Obama is NOT BLACK, and the shooter was NOT WHITE. But hey, race pimping must go on…………regardless of the truth………
This is why blacks have such a hard time. Once a slave, always a slave. It’s so tempting to fall back into the victimhood of the slavery boogeyman. It can pay pretty big sometimes.
avery commented:
I” haven”t heard one word about the 15 year old white boy follow home from school’by 2 black , throw gas on him and set him on fire. I believe the two black was from the same school.
Sam Stone commented:
I agree with Jack$on on this, blacks are indeed under attack. By OTHER BLACKS every day of the year. Last weekend alone in Chicago, 44 shot, 10 dead. Most black on black and where is Je$$ie and $harpton?
