Despite attempts at voter suppression in states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida, Jackson said, blacks turned out en masse to vote, enduring waits that stretched into hours in many places. “We waited, we voted, we believed,” Jackson said. “Now we want to get well.
Rev. Jackson, who spoke longer, louder, and more forcefully than he has in some time at the Saturday morning Rainbow/PUSH meeting, asked the crowd, “What do we want? We want, we want, we want, we deserve, we deserve … a return on our investment.
“What’s good for us is good for everybody. What’s good for blacks is good for everybody.,” he said. “We bled too much, we died too young, we cried too much, we prayed too long, now we want a return on our investment.”
Referring to those voter suppression efforts, he said, “these acts of meanness had unintended consequences.” Rather than keeping blacks and Latinos away from the polls, voter ID measures and the curtailing of access to the voting booths made people more determined to vote. “Suppression became stimulation and people fought back,” he said.
“We fought back,” and the battle was won, but the war still remains, he said. “If we vote and don’t bargain we get nothing. A Jacuzzi filled with stagnant water will not get you well,” Jackson said. “You have to stir the water.”

These three men are holding AFAMS people back, by causing trouble via THE RACE CARD. I don't recall seeing anythig in their agenda's for econmomic sucess/recovery for the black peoples. All three of the so called black leaders claim to love, and care so much about the black community, the only thing being done is racist talk, thats all.
Whats going on is this all three of these men are padding their pockets, traveling, lecturing, making trouble and etc..
So what this race baiter is saying is that the other 88% of Americans have a right to expect a big pay off too?
That is ALL he Is....
I still remember the Day MLK was Killed and I also Remember Who was By his side and Who
knelt down beside the Body of MLK and stuffed something into his (JJ's) Pocket out of site of others....But caught by the Media, until the Media stopped showing the one scene....
Gun Perhaps....Who else stood to benefit form MLK's death....???
Why did Coretta King avoid JJ ever since that day...????
I think she also had suspisions of who Killed Her Husband...
Especially regarding MLK's Dream....JJ obviously Did NOT learn a Thing From Him...
THIS IS WHAT JJ SHOULD DO
Don't know if it because of the amount of People on SH at one time over weekend, or that SH has a reduced working staff causing the problems...
hey reggie, how much do you get for one obomma vote ?
I will mail it to you sucka.....
Another Tammy Baker and Husband Type....
Edited:
World
Jesse is NOT MLK and Never will Be...Not Even Close....
MLK, Brought the Beginnings of Equality to the Black Community...Jesse, has Reversed that and Kept the Races at each others throats...Same with All Sharpton....
