“Reverend” Jesse Jackson's Double-Standard on Racism

"Reverend" Jesse Jackson Called Darrell Issa's Conduct "Racist" Yet Jackson compared to the Tea Party to the slave-holding Confederacy

During
a heated exchange between Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa
(R-Vista) and ranking member Elijah Cummings (D-Maryland), Issa decided to
adjourn as IRS official Lois Lerner refused to testify, taking the Fifth, which
all but affirms that she is guilty of something, or at least hiding some
incriminating information.

Rep. Cummings then requested time to ask a question, but he
then developed into a series of talking points. Issa cut the mike, but Cummings
refused to be quiet, shouting “I am tired of this”, then launched into a
tirade, with camera shutters a fluttering to capture Cummings’s media come-on.


The Congressional Black Caucus then
issued a letter to Speaker John Boehner, calling Chairman Issa “a disgrace”
and demanded that the California Congressman lose his chairmanship.

Even after Issa
apologized, “Reverend” Al Sharpton continued to condemn Issa, saying that his apology was
not enough, and Florida Democrat Debbie Wasserman-Shultz sensationalized
Issa’s cutting off the mike, comparing it to the tyranny
on display in Venezuela and the Ukraine.

Cummings' behavior was disgraceful, Not Issa's.

Indeed.

Then the “Reverend” Jesse Jackson commented on the little
committee tiff with a tweet:

Rev. Jackson wants to indict Issa for invidious
discrimination.

But what about Jackson? He has a history of uttering crude,
wrong, and racist remarks.

Following the Trayvon Martin murder case, in which the jury
granted George Zimmerman a “Not Guilty” verdict, Jackson commented about the
demonstrations and skirmishes of violence which followed:

Yet barely four years ago, Jackson had to apologize after a hot mike caught him
saying that he would like to "cut off his [Obama] nuts" . . . then: "Barack…he's
talking down to black people…telling niggers how to behave."

Wow!

Jackson also neglected to mention that the white vote propelled
the junior senator from Illinois into victory.

These statements uttered by
Robertson are more offensive than the bus driver in Montgomery, Alabama, more
than 59 years ago. At least the bus driver, who ordered Rosa Parks to surrender
her seat to a white person, was following state law. Robertson’s statements
were uttered freely and openly without cover of the law, within a context of
what he seemed to believe was ‘white privilege.’

When Robertson returned to the
program, Jackson muttered, “I do not feel good about it.”

But the comment which followed was
particularly invidious:

Goldwater and Reagan – had they been successful,”
Jackson said, “it would have been illegal for blacks and whites to play
together on a Saturday afternoon. You couldn’t have had the Carolina Panthers
behind the cotton curtain playing the Atlanta Falcons . . . it would have
been illegal for them to even sit together.

And the Reverend is calling Issa and Phil Roberston racist?

Then
again, Jackson felt entitled to call New York City  ‘Hymietown’ while campaigning for the Democratic nomination for President in 1984.
