More quotes by 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
There is fear, police in fear, people if are in fear, children are fear, but fear and hate must not drive our agenda, love and hope and healing must drive the agenda.
Jesse Jackson
President Obama projects a strong offense, but he faces a rebellious Congress focused on state's rights.
Jesse Jackson
If the right wing has their way and state's rights control voting rights, they would remove protections that make it difficult for seniors to vote. It would be harder for students to vote on campus. These are attempts to suppress acts of voting.
Jesse Jackson
The only time you should look down at someone, is when you are helping them up.
Jesse Jackson
The crisis is not an opportunity to change the character of Louisiana's political order. We must not use the crisis to turn Louisiana into a red state -- this is a rainbow state.
Jesse Jackson
Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up.
Jesse Jackson
Black and Jewish leaders have been a coalition of conscience.
Jesse Jackson
You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.
Jesse Jackson
In many ways Africa subsidised America and Europe's development.
Jesse Jackson
When everyone is included, everyone wins.
Jesse Jackson
I was born in a slum, but the slum wasn't born in me.
Jesse Jackson
Leadership cannot just go along to get along. Leadership must meet the moral challenge of the day.
Jesse Jackson
If whites would vote their economic interests, not their racial fears, we the people who have the most need for change have the power to bring about that change nonviolently.
Jesse Jackson
Pictures can live in one's memory. That's why they are important.
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
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
On the political front, of course it's a zero-sum game. If it's all white males holding positions, you bring 10 women in, then it's, 'Women are coming!' Get 10 blacks and it's, 'Blacks are coming!' 'Hispanics are coming!' Zero-sum game. The seatmates might change but the chairs don't move. In the economy, the number of chairs can actually increase.
Jesse Jackson
No lie can live forever.
Jesse Jackson
There are clear patterns of discrimination against Blacks and Latinos. The big banks targeted Blacks and Latinos with toxic packages of subprime predatory lending.
