The charges that I am anti-Semitic are simply erroneous, felonious, and unceremonious. In fact, when I need a doctor, I always look for one with a Jewish name.

More quotes by Jesse Jackson
At the end of the day, we're defined by our predicament, not by the sides of town.
Jesse Jackson
Politicians refuse to modernize schools, they cut out midnight basketball, but build all these new jails. First class jails, second class schools. This is zero tolerance.
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
If you wear a hoodie but aren't registered to vote, you got the symbolism but missed the substance.
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
If the states had to vote on slavery, we would have lost the vote.
Jesse Jackson
I know how to run a nationally paced campaign.
Jesse Jackson
You can't teach what you don't know. And you can't lead where you don't go.
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.
Jesse Jackson
That Obama I would like to cut his nuts off.
Jesse Jackson
In order for an ideal to become a reality, there must be a person, a personality to translate it.
Jesse Jackson
George Bush has met more foreign heads of state than I have. But a substantial number of them were dead.
Jesse Jackson
Unfortunate. Unfortunate. Sometimes people struggling for freedom lose their way.
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
There have been more people disenfranchised in Washington than there have been in Kuwait.
Jesse Jackson
When you create more small businesses, you create small entrepreneurship. Out of that comes self-determination and employment.
Jesse Jackson
The white Christian church never raised to the heights of Christ. It stayed within the limit of culture.
Jesse Jackson
Gangs are a group reaction to helplessness.
Jesse Jackson
Black and Jewish leaders have been a coalition of conscience.
Jesse Jackson
A man who cannot be enticed by money or intimidated by the threat of jail or death has two of the strongest weapons that anyone has to offer.
Jesse Jackson
