The Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. stole the spotlight from the Democratic nominee for President of these United States of America with a whisper. This elder, one of many amongst the Civil Right Movement, did not go for the Obama's jugular vein or utter an idle threat to cut Barack off at the knees remark. Nope, Jackson went straight to Obama's manhood, Jesse threaten to cut off Obama's testes. Men talk ...nuts.
Even Jesse own first born son, Jesse Jr. was shocked with the explicit language used by the elder Jackson, so it is reported. But of course this is not the first time Jesse has let loose some uncensored comments, if one remembers the comments made about some Jewish folks. This time Jesse was upset by a speech Obama gave on Father's Day in a church. Well it's one thing to run for President, but Obama is no preacher. And this is not the first time Obama has been given this message, if one remembers Rev. Jeremiah Wright. But this time the message went to the churches from the well renown leaders of old school, Jesse himself. This message would play well with old school who don't want change..chuches.
So what really gives with the whispering campaign by Jesse?
Was this Jesse's way of pushing young African-American males towards Obama while at the same time courting the old church folks to support his revival of his Rainbow/ Push Coalition? Now we must remember this is the one and only Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. If Obama was not going to take him with him on the National State, Jesse would create his own, just like Bill Crosby did at the 2004 NAACP Award Show talking about African-Americans and just Rev. Jeremiah Wright in 2008. Now it's Jesse's turn. Obama, unlike Hillary is not going to need a Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. to speak to young African-American males.So where does that leave Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr.?
Well, according to the Indianapolis Star Rev. Jackson, Sr. is going to revive a chapter of his Operation Push in Indiana,
The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Thursday that he is reviving the Indianapolis chapter of his national Rainbow/PUSH Coalition to help local leaders address problems ranging from too few blacks on corporate boards in Indiana to a lack of parental involvement in schools.
Oh Lord, now who do you think raced white folks would rather see in Indiana, Barack or Jesse? This is a remixs of the message given to Selma by Malcolm X, when it came down to choosing between dealing with Martin Luther King, Jr. or Malcolm X which would Selma prefer? Now Jesse is giving Indiana corporations the message during the Black Expo not quite a Rev. Jeremiah Wright but Rev. Jesse Jackson,Sr. or Barack Obama.
Rev. Jackson, Sr. challenge occurred in a pulpit during the opening one of the largest African-American event in Indiana, the Indiana Black Expo.
"The service marked the opening of this year's Indiana Black Expo Summer Celebration, which runs through July 20 and is billed as the largest event of its kind in the U.S. It's expected to draw 300,000 people."
Jackson offered to the churches, a message beyond Obama personal responsibility but a message of chastising corporate greed. This message exonerates the church from preaching the message of personal responsibility and giving back to its community and places the burden of restoring the African-American community on corporations.
Just follow the money, both Barack and Jesse are playing to the same audience.
