More quotes by Jesse Jackson
The interest right now is taking resources back to the state and allowing the minority to have tyranny over the minority. It's an ideological power grab. It's like in this Congressional rebellion they are willing to sink the ship to destroy the captain.
Jesse Jackson
That Obama I would like to cut his nuts off.
Jesse Jackson
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jesse Jackson
Workers, black and white, need some kind of international affirmative action to protect them from unfair competition with unorganized or slave labor abroad and unfair competition with robots at home.
Jesse Jackson
So many bright stars, bright in life, burn out quickly.
Jesse Jackson
There's great disparity between who goes to college and who goes to jail. Who lives long and who dies prematurely, is the defining issue of our time. And I submit to you, there's a significant race dimension, it is basically class-driven.
Jesse Jackson
We campaigned across the South . . . without a single catcall or boo. It was not until we got north to New York that we began to hear this from Koch, President Reagan, and then Mrs. Ferraro . . . . Some people are making hysteria while I'm making history.
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
From seeds of his body blossomed the flower that liberated a people and touched the soul of a nation.
Jesse Jackson
America needs young people to be inspired to choose sacrifice over greed.
Jesse Jackson
Many have fought for and even lost their lives to end segregation, to win the right to vote. It disappoints me to now have to cajole people to register and to vote.
Jesse Jackson
When blacks are unemployed, they are considered lazy and apathetic. When whites are unemployed, it's considered a depression.
Jesse Jackson
I had to steal to survive.
Jesse Jackson
We reveal our joys and successes, we conceal our pain.
Jesse Jackson
People like to say don't abort, adopt. But I'm saying don't strip, scholarship.
Jesse Jackson
Semi-automatic weapons are not just about gun control, they're about national security. You know that these weapons can shoot down airplanes, they can blow up railroads. This is really a whole national security issue.
Jesse Jackson
What is the American dream? The American dream is one big tent. One big tent. And on that big tent you have four basic promises: equal protection under the law, equal opportunity, equal access, and fair share.
Jesse Jackson
Music of all arts should be expansive and inclusive.
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. And I am rather convinced that we have a generation that is so preoccupied with life in the shadows, they never even focus on getting to the sunlight where you open up the big tent.
Jesse Jackson
When we're unemployed, we're called lazy when the whites are unemployed it's called a depression.
