He spoke his mind. I don't agree with it. I actually would say it sounds ignorant but not racist. If it was racist he would have said something reflecting on all people of a specific race and his statement would have shown how his race was superior.

He doesn't owe Florida an apology.

In fact, if he kept his mouth shut permanently, he'd be doing Florida (and the rest of the nation, especially the black population) a big favor.

Don't speak for a black people.

I don't like Jackson but he has the right to say what he wants. I have a right to decide if I want to listen or digest what he says.

I'm sorry to hear that Jackson has such an influence on you. I'm very sorry!!!

I think people have this notion that most black people like Jackson and Sharpton. It is like saying most white people like O'Reilly.

Right, he could have meant that Asians have turned FL. into the 2013 Selma and an Apartheid State. Why would people jump to the conclusion that JJ of all people was referring to white people.

So, in your opinion, the "I spit in white peoples food" comment isn't racist ? Personally, I couldn't care less
if he apologizes or not. It only shows his mentality is like his crazy son. Jackson & Sharpton, Racist at large.

You just want to write mess.

Jackson made that comment back when he worked in a kitchen in South Carolina and was retaliation for mistreatment of black people at the hands of whites. This had nothing to do with his Florida statement.

If you can't decipher what he said then vs now. I think you are an insecure race baiter. You make up stuff and take things out of context to make the subject look different than what it is. You have no credibility.

Jesse Jackson says he won't apologize to Florida over remarks on Zimmerman verdict

Well, what can you expect from a race-baiting jackass?
