I have to say I was so disappointed in Jesse Jackson when I first watched this footage. I was even more disappointed when I heard him say he was speaking into a "hot" mic. I work in television, and I know Jesse has been doing interviews and shows for 40 years now, so I don't believe him!
Any fool knows not to say anything period, when you're mic'd up. On top of that the camera's were still rolling. I whole heartdly believe that Jesse did that on purpose. He wasn't able to win the primaries in 1988 and now he's hating on Obama. Instead of being proud of how far African Americans have come in this country he goes on national t.v. and trashes him knowingly.
He claims that Obama is putting down the black community...huh? I don't get it. He's putting down the black community by speaking to us about what we can do to make it better? These old school leaders and their old school ways can kick rocks! Isn't this what they fought so hard for during the civil rights era? Isn't this what Malcolm and Martin died for?
They fought for our generation, so we could make a change, so we could have a better tomorrow. Jesse, move out the way. Not even you can stop us now...
Yes We Can!!!!!!
