Kamala Harris flew out to honor racist leader Jesse Jackson by claiming that “he defined the rainbow!”
Jesse didn’t define the rainbow, but he did threaten to castrate Obama on live television.
Biden issued a statement praising the racist whose presidential campaign was sabotaged when he used an antisemitic slur.
“The promise of America is that we are all created equal in the image of God and deserve to be treated equally throughout our lives. While we’ve never fully lived up to that promise, we’ve never fully walked away from it because of extraordinary leaders like Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr.,” Biden falsely claimed.
“Throughout our decades of friendship and partnership, I’ve seen how Reverend Jackson has helped lead our nation forward through tumult and triumph. Whether on the campaign trail, on the march for equality, or in the room advocating for what is right and just, I’ve seen him as history will remember him: a man of God and of the people; determined, strategic, and unafraid of the work to redeem the soul of our nation.”
More accurately, Jesse Jackson was a bigot who stood with bigots like Louis Farrakhan. Here are some highlights about the hateful reverend from Discover the Networks. Who was also a compulsive liar.
Jackson claimed that he was on the Memphis balcony with King immediately after the latter had been shot, and that he cradled the dying civil-rights leader in his arms as he took his final breaths. But in fact, at the moment King was shot, Jackson was actually in a nearby parking lot talking to a group of musicians.
The next morning, Jackson flew to Chicago to make a guest appearance on the NBC Today Show. In the few hours that had passed between the King assassination and Jackson’s flight to the Windy City, Jackson had already hired a public-relations agent to accompany him as he was transported from interview to interview in a chauffeur-driven car. Before a national television audience on the Today Show, Jackson donned a shirt that he claimed was smeared with the dying Dr. King’s blood. “He died in my arms,” Jackson lied.
A black Chicago Tribune reporter named Angela Parker discovered that Jackson, in the aftermath of King’s assassination, had embezzled money from Operation Breadbasket.
At that point, Jackson decided to break away from SCLC and establish his own organization called Operation PUSH (acronym for “People United to Serve Humanity”)
That’s the ‘rainbow’ that Kamala was praising. It was created to cover for Jackson’s embezzlement.
In 1981 Coca-Cola was induced to award a lucrative syrup distributorship to Jackson’s half-brother, Noah Robinson, in order to prevent Jackson from publicly shaming the company for conducting business in apartheid-era South Africa.
In 1998 Jackson tried to block a merger between CBS and Viacom, saying it was “antithetical to basic democratic values.” He made it clear, however, that his opposition would cease if Viacom were to sell its UPN network to either of his longtime friends, Chester Davenport or Percy Sutton. In early 1999, CBS and Viacom pledged to give $1 million to Jackson’s Citizenship Education Fund (CEF), at which point Jackson’s opposition to the merger dissipated.
In December 1998, Jackson threatened to block a GTE-Bell Atlantic merger unless the two parties made guarantees regarding their commitment to minority hiring and contracting. Over the ensuing four months, GTE and Bell pledged $1.5 million to CEF and gave Chester Davenport a 7% stake of their new cellular business. In May 1999, Jackson approved the merger, which resulted in the formation of Verizon.
Jesse Jackson was a lying corrupt racist. So it’s no wonder that Biden, like Fidel Castro, loves him.
In 1984, Jackson took a 300-person entourage (which included Jeremiah Wright) to Communist Cuba to visit Fidel Castro. Upon arriving at the Havana airport, Jackson greeted the crowd of welcomers by shouting to them: “Long live Fidel Castro! Long live Che Guevara! Long live Patrice Lumumba!” At the University of Havana, Jackson raised a clenched fist into the air and again led supporters in chanting those same slogans, in Spanish: “Viva Fidel! Viva Che Guevara!”
Castro, in turn, described Jackson as “the most honest, courageous politician I have ever met.” Added Castro: “He is a great personality, a brilliant man with a great talent, capable of communicating with people, very persuasive, reliable, honest. Jackson’s main characteristic is honesty.”
Sure. If you doubt that just ask Coca Cola and MLK’s corpse. Or his bastard child.
Jackson became one of President Clinton’s spiritual counselors during the Monica Lewinski scandal of 1998. At about the same time, Jackson’s still-hidden mistress, Karin Stanford, was bearing the couple’s child.
He truly defined the rainbow. So many colors. All of them toxic. That’s the right way to remember him.

Who made this corrupt charlatan possible? The victim did.
“The “sanction of the victim” is the willingness of the good to suffer at the hands of the evil, to accept the role of sacrificial victim for the “sin” of creating values.” – Leonard Peikoff
“Every kind of ethnic group is enormously sensitive to any slight. If one made a derogatory remark about the Kurds of Iran, dozens of voices would leap to their defense. But no one speaks out for businessmen, when they are attacked and insulted by everyone as a matter of routine. What causes this overwhelming injustice? The businessmen’s own policies: their betrayal of their own values, their appeasement of enemies, their compromises—all of which add up to an air of moral cowardice. Add to it the fact that businessmen are creating and supporting their own destroyers.
The sources and centers of today’s philosophical corruption are the universities . . . It is the businessmen’s money that supports American universities—not merely in the form of taxes and government handouts, but much worse: in the form of voluntary, private contributions, donations, endowments, etc. In preparation for this lecture, I tried to do some research on the nature and amounts of such contributions. I had to give it up: it is too complex and too vast a field for the efforts of one person. To untangle it now would require a major research project and, probably, years of work. All I can say is only that millions and millions and millions of dollars are being donated to universities by big business enterprises every year, and that the donors have no idea of what their money is being spent on or whom it is supporting. What is certain is only the fact that some of the worst anti-business, anti-capitalism propaganda has been financed by businessmen in such projects.
Money is a great power—because, in a free or even a semi-free society, it is a frozen form of productive energy. And, therefore, the spending of money is a grave responsibility. Contrary to the altruists and the advocates of the so-called “academic freedom,” it is a moral crime to give money to support ideas with which you disagree; it means: ideas which you consider wrong, false, evil. It is a moral crime to give money to support your own destroyers. Yet that is what businessmen are doing with such reckless irresponsibility.” – Ayn Rand

Great video. What they say when they think the mic is off 🙂
Ugly Sid says
Jesse Jackson didn’t hurt anyone.
He helped Coca-Cola by letting them know what it was they should do to demonstrate that they knew what was good for them.
Coca-Cola acknowledged the value of this gratuitous advise. That’s all there was to it.
And the Statute of Limitations applies.
Ugly Sid says
The only truthful sentence is the last.
When Democrats claim they defend the law, this is the law they defend.
Like the DOJ, perpetuating Hunter’s tax investigations till the S of L has expired.
Restoration of respect for the law may require a public hanging of a blatant, readily identified offender.
Algorithmic Analyst says
The Statue of Limitations is one Statue they won’t tear down 🙂
Steven Kardas says
I’ll be blunt. Jackson’s greatest accomplishment is somehow becoming a millionaire by picking away at the slowly healing wound of racism and selling the blood drop by drop.
RAM says
As a fellow shakedown artist, Biden admires Jackson.
Kasandra says
He was just another in a long line of racial gritters. FWIW, he was well-known among Chicago restaurateurs to bring his entire entourage to high end restaurants and walk the check. He knew they wouldn’t risk being called racists and being picketed by PUSH for calling the police.

“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps… then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”

SPURWING PLOVER says
The very same Sessie Jackson who started this failed Guns Out Jobs In program with probably the Media covering their little event with big fanfare like they always do
Justin Swingle says
JACKSON was first to use the SHAKEDOWN CORPORATE AMERICA PARADIGM. The same one later used by con man Al Sharpton and the BLACK LIVES MATTER hoax.
but it sure seems to work. These entities have never done anything for black America but sure got rich stuffing their pockets doing!
Justin Swingle says
IS KAMALA still staging herself as ‘black’???
i thought that ended even before her days as BORDER TSARINA ended; about 30 seconds after it was announced.
Christopher Robert Riddle says
Jesse “Jerkson”is Al”Sharpie”Sharton’s”ROLE MODEL”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was in Jews against Jackson when Jesse ran for President in 1984. We would chant, “ruin Jesse ruin” and “it’s not his hue, it’s his view.” I was marching and they filmed me for tv. One of my friends was drunk and watching tv. He saw me on tv and in his drunken state said, I think I know that guy.
