Keep hope alive!  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) I remember being taught my place  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) He was tenser than Jesse Jackson on Father’s Day  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to fly high.  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) Has done a great job walking a thin line between revenge and remedy  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) I’ve paid my dues. I’ve earned your votes. Send me  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) In many ways, history is marked as ‘before’ and ‘after’ Rosa Parks. She sat down in order that we all might stand up, and the walls of segregation came down  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) 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 Quotes) I’m not just gonna go after the black Jesse Jackson they all want to make fun of, but I know the wrong people are gonna laugh at that. I don’t want to play to that crowd. I don’t  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) What is the American dream? The American dream is one big tent. One big tent. And on that big tent you have four basic promises: equal protection under the law, equal opportunity, equal access, and fair share  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) Watch the walls come down, whether it’s in the South or on Wall Street. When the walls come down, what do we find? More markets, more talent, more capital and growth. Which means that the race and sex discrimination stunt economic growth. It’s not good for capitalism. It’s not good for America’s growth. And it’s not morally right  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) Look at the coded language the Right is using against President Barack Obama. Openly calling him a liar in Congress, saying he is ‘not a Christian, he was not born here, he is not one of us.’ That makes addressing such issues trickier for the first African-American in the White House  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) For me, Barack Obama’s election was a milestone of the most extraordinary kind. On the day he was elected I felt such hope in my heart. I thought we were seeing the beginning of a new era of equal opportunity across race and gender such as America had never known before  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) I think reconciliation is Obama’s goal - but the fight with the Republicans is like a fight with pit bulls, they never let go. Even worse, now the Republicans feel they can keep pushing and he will keep giving. They have not seen a stiff resistance on his part  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) It is a historical error for those who were not there to just refer to August 28th as ‘I Have a Dream’ speech day. That is a real disservice to those who were there. It was a sad day. It was not a celebration environment  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) 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 Quotes) Urban America has been redlined. Government has not offered tax incentives for investment, as it has in a dozen foreign markets. Banks have redlined it. Industries have moved out, they’ve redlined it. Clearly, to break up the redlining process, there must be incentives to green-line with hedges against risk  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) I am - Somebody. I may be poor, but I am - Somebody! I may be on welfare, but I am - Somebody! I may be uneducated, but I am - Somebody! I must be, I’m God’s child. I must be respected and protected. I am black and I am beautiful! I am - Somebody! Soul Power!  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) The white, the Hispanic, the black, the Arab, the Jew, the woman, the Native American, the small farmer, the businessperson, the environmentalist, the peace activist, the young, the old, the lesbian, the gay and the disabled make up the American quilt  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) Semi-automatic weapons are not just about gun control, they’re about national security. You know that these weapons can shoot down airplanes, they can blow up railroads. This is really a whole national security issue  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) Jesse Jackson’s living depends on the maintenance of an African-American victim culture  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) Here comes Jesse Jackson, he talks of common ground. Does that common ground include me, or is it just a sound?  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) I have very mixed feelings about Jesse Jackson. He’s very good about labor, and human and civil rights issues, but not so good on cultural issues  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) 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 Quotes) Today’s biggest headlines are stories about people who thought they were doing something that was secret: Jesse Jackson’s secret girlfriend and child, Monica Lewinski’s private meetings with the president and confidential girl talk with Linda Tripp. Just think of the news stories we’ve watched on television  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) I don’t want everyone to think of me as just ‘that kid who called Jesse Jackson a communist in middle school.’ That’s why I decided to become a famous actress  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) I’m a Third World person. I grew up in an occupied zone [Greenville, South Carolina] and had to negotiate with the superpower, really the colonial power  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) Sometimes arrogance makes us overreach. George Bush Jr. often tries to suggest the leaders of other countries, and it is just not good diplomacy  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) It has always been an irony to me that the ‘religious right’ has come under so much attack for being involved in politics when the black community has been doing it for hundreds of years. The Reverend Jesse Jackson is rarely, if ever, attacked for his involvement in politics  (Jesse Jackson Quotes) Jesse Jackson also said he thought Barack Obama was talking down to black people by lecturing them on things like fatherhood and being a responsible husband. Jesse thought it was insulting, not only to him, but to his former mistress and their love child  (Jesse Jackson Quotes)
