More quotes by Jesse Jackson
Urban America has been redlined. Government has not offered tax incentives for investment, as it has in a dozen foreign markets. Banks have redlined it. Industries have moved out, they've redlined it. Clearly, to break up the redlining process, there must be incentives to green-line with hedges against risk.
Jesse Jackson
What's good for Blacks is good for all of America.
Jesse Jackson
There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.
Jesse Jackson
We must renew the economy from the bottom up, not top down.
Jesse Jackson
In many ways Africa subsidised America and Europe's development.
Jesse Jackson
When we were hit on 9/11 it took us a few weeks to get the coalition together because [George] Bush had come in with a kind of narrow ideology, looking at the world, I'd say, through a keyhole and not through a door.
Jesse Jackson
I had gained a greater appreciation of hearing the concerns of woman, doctors, and so many others.
Jesse Jackson
Leadership cannot just go along to get along. Leadership must meet the moral challenge of the day.
Jesse Jackson
Peace is the alternative to war, and nonviolence should be seen as the antidote to violence, not simply as its opposite. Nonviolence is more concerned with saving life than with saving face.
Jesse Jackson
There was a direct jobs program from the Rooselvelt administration in the 1930s. The Justice Department has set up a task force to investigate the banks and the mortgage crisis but that's a little too late. Whenever they report they will report the obvious. It will be too late to impact the people who need the help the most.
Jesse Jackson
Music of all arts should be expansive and inclusive.
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
Today's students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. If they can conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude.
Jesse Jackson
Deliberation and debate is the way you stir the soul of our democracy.
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
Abortion is black genocide...What happens to the mind of a person and the moral fabric of a nation that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience?
Jesse Jackson
At the end of the day, we're defined by our predicament, not by the sides of town.
Jesse Jackson
From seeds of his body blossomed the flower that liberated a people and touched the soul of a nation.
Jesse Jackson
I had to steal to survive.
Jesse Jackson
Those in blue suits who use thinly veiled race symbols -- when they say welfare and crime and three strikes and anti- affirmative action -- they are sending messages more profound their language.
