More quotes by Jesse Jackson
In tough economic times, desperate people do desperate things, and the abortion rate goes up.
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. 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
Race designation is a political designation.
Jesse Jackson
Everywhere I go, kids walk around not with books under their arms, but with radios up against their heads. Children can't read or write, but they can memorize whole albums.
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
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
The first thing that has to happen is the protection of voting rights and registration.
Jesse Jackson
You really need a renewed commitment for the direct investment of jobs at the bottom.
Jesse Jackson
Many kids come out of college, they have a credit card and a diploma. They don't know how to buy a house or a car or health insurance or life insurance. They do not know basic microeconomics.
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
There have been more people disenfranchised in Washington than there have been in Kuwait.
Jesse Jackson
You are not going to revive the unemployment of 26 million Americans with tax cuts.
Jesse Jackson
You cannot have a diplomatic offensive without talking.
Jesse Jackson
The question becomes what kind of coalition can we build that will make a transition and empower the people of Iraq? The American soldiers' presence there is an act of provocation. There's a big red ball on the back of every American soldier in that country, so our being there contributes to the crisis, it does not resolve the crisis.
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
Our dreams must be stronger than our memories. We must be pulled by our dreams, rater than pushed by our memories.
Jesse Jackson
When blacks are unemployed, they are considered lazy and apathetic. When whites are unemployed, it's considered a depression.
Jesse Jackson
People like to say don't abort, adopt. But I'm saying don't strip, scholarship.
Jesse Jackson
