1 I think his son was intended to succeed him. That didn’t work out.

3 Well, Jackson had one good quality.

He showed us that the image of tough-nosed corporate C-suite types was an illusion.

9 Once he sold out and became a Race Pimp and started abusing his Religious Leadership position it was clear he was in it for the fame and $$$$.

If a person takes a few minutes and looks at his documented quotes and his private life. The Rev, Jesse was not a supporter of Jewish people and more into politics, than GOD.

example given: When it came to the division of power, we did not get from the Jews the slice of cake we deserved... the Jews do not share with us control of wealth, broadcasting stations and other centers of power.

11 He did stay married for 64 years.

Also had a famous green eggs and ham skit on SNL.

On the other hand he fathered a child out of wedlock (he opposed abortion until the 1990s, then became pro choice). Also he extorted tons of money from businesses in Chicago and elsewhere.

12 I’m sure there are those who will mourn him. May that fact comfort them.

13 POTUS actually gave Jesse a favorable obit (Trump rented space to Jesse for many years in Trump tower)

15 Trump signally lowly for leftist praise which will never happen. He has his moments, this was not one of them.

16 Calling Jesse Jackson a Reverend is like calling a dogs butt a tootsie roll factory.
