More quotes by Jesse Jackson
Our flag is read, white and blue, but our nation is a rainbown-red, yellow, brown, black and white - and we're all precious in God's sight.
Jesse Jackson
The burden of being black is that you have to be superior just to be equal. But the glory of it is that, once you achieve, you have achieved, indeed.
Jesse Jackson
Capital punishment turns the state into a murderer. But imprisonment turns the state into a gay dungeon-master.

Jesse Jackson
The solution [to a crisis pregnancy] is not to kill the innocent baby but to deal with the mother's values and her attitudes toward life.
Jesse Jackson
Those powers that control the tent are not threatened at all by any activity that you engage in, in the shadows, that's not moving toward the tent.

Jesse Jackson
You are not going to revive the unemployment of 26 million Americans with tax cuts.
Jesse Jackson
See, Barack been, um, talking down to black people on this faith-based... I want to cut his nuts off. Barack, he's talking down to black people.
Jesse Jackson
From seeds of his body blossomed the flower that liberated a people and touched the soul of a nation.
Jesse Jackson
We are facing a stiff wind right now, but if we persist and keep fighting back, we will prevail.
Jesse Jackson
It's not enough to be quiet. Quietness is the absence of noise. We need peace, the presence of justice and to be - and so people here can coexist and live together.
Jesse Jackson
I am - Somebody. I may be poor, but I am - Somebody! I may be on welfare, but I am - Somebody! I may be uneducated, but I am - Somebody! I must be, I'm God's child. I must be respected and protected. I am black and I am beautiful! I am - Somebody! Soul Power!
Jesse Jackson
It does not stand to give banks millions of dollars at an interest rate of one percent, when banks charge students an interest rate of 6 percent. Why should the banks be scalping students?
Jesse Jackson
It is a historical error for those who were not there to just refer to August 28th as 'I Have a Dream' speech day. That is a real disservice to those who were there. It was a sad day. It was not a celebration environment.
Jesse Jackson
Conservatives and liberals can find common ground.
Jesse Jackson
I'm not wasting my time with any more non-straight-talking candidates.
