Jesse Jackson (Chicago, Detroit, Time: hotel, car, racist)

[Avengerfire]

As much as I wish there was a thread that was devoted to pooping on the master race baiter; alas there is not. So anyway, I decided to start one about him with news that will make many smile,but at the same time wonder why this is news (just like anything that comes out of his mouth) :

"The Rev. Jesse Jackson found out just how rough things are in Detroit.
Several Detroit media outlets reported thieves stole Jackson’s ride — a 2009 Cadillac Escalade — from a parking lot near the city’s Doubletree Hotel."

Hahahaha. I have nothing to add. Surely it was some underprivileged oppressed person that wanted to break free from the shackles of their 1982 Toyota Corolla.

With all of the businesses he own's.............I think Jesse is going to be fine. Hell, his business is probably paying for it.

No loss for Jesse.

It was probably a really nice ride.

Does he actually speak English? Are there people out there who can understand him?

"Mah cabilak bin tookin!"

What does this have to do with Chicago? As much as I dislike Jesse Jackson, I don't celebrate in his misfortunes.

Jackson is well spoken and you ****** well ought to know it. Maybe you're just making a racist joke. Which is OK; I like racist jokes but only if they're funny, which few are. Your stupid joke doesn't make the cut. It lacks wit and stoops to being merely childishly insulting.

Now if you were clever you'd lampoon Jackson by making fun of the highly idiosyncratic way in which he does speak but that's obviously beyond you.

You mean how he kinda sings and has lots of words
that rhyme together? That's just old-timey Baptist
preachin' style.

Whatever it is it's individualistic and well spoken.

I never thought much of Rev. Jackson until I saw him in person a few times. On tv he does sort of seem phony, dry and vapid. In person I found him much more sincere, well spoken, and sometimes insightful. Like most people I get rubbed the wrong way by "fixing" a problem by going to an equally ridiculous extreme in the other direction (Lebron James is treated like a runaway slave blah blah), but sometimes he can be thoughtful and occasionally still hits the nail on the head (in my opinion at least). I don't wish him any ill will, just wish he would shut up a little more often.
