Jesse Jackson exposed

Jesse Jackson is a crook. If you still live in a lollipop world and you think Jackson is out to promote diversity and tolerance‚ then you need to open your eyes.
Let's begin with Jackson's job. He is a con-artist. Years of shaking out corporations for donations and using non-profit organizations for money laundering have created a millionaire out of Jackson‚ and he has no full-time job. Not too shabby.
Jackson makes a living out of dividing people. For years Jackson has screamed "racism" high and low‚ far and wide‚ all the while making a profit from those accusations.
In 1999‚ Jackson complained to NASCAR that it had no black drivers at the Winston Cup level. No way.
This is just a shot in the dark‚ but maybe it has something to do with the fact that there are not many black race car drivers. Sure, it seems blacks are under-represented in car racing‚ but they are over-represented in other sports. What's the difference?
After Jackson made these accusations‚ NASCAR became a huge financial supporter overnight. As soon as NASCAR began pumping funds into Jackson's empire‚ the accusations of racism miraculously stopped.
NASCAR did not change its methods‚ nor did it promise to try to bridge the gap between race car driving and blacks. Jackson was happy with the money.
This is how Jackson's business works. If you don't buckle under his accusations and pay up‚ he will vilify you in the media and call for nationwide boycotts.
It's blackmail. Even if a company is not guilty of discrimination‚ to pay off Jackson is cheaper than facing a media scandal.
Jackson is not a pillar of the community. In my opinion, he has even used profits from his "non-profit" organizations to pay off his mistress.
According to Jackson's organization tax returns‚ he used $614‚000 in travel expenses in the year 2000 alone‚ and that's not including his staff.
We are just now scratching the surface of Jackson's elaborate misleading scams. His tax returns are just now being examined. For years journalists got the run-around from his staff over what should be public records.
If you still don't think Jackson is a crook‚ just wait.

Amen, you said it.
I use to respect Jackson too but nowadays I know better, 1st sign was not his support of Al Gore but his affair with a woman, and at the time I had hoped he would repent of his deed. (Continued…)

As far as just wait like the end of the article says, Jesse Jackson was caught putting down Obama when he thought that the microphone was off. What is that saying "Look who is calling the kettle black. (Continued…)
