Jesse Jackson: 'Plantation' comments insult black voters
By: Juana Summers September 30, 2011 04:20 PM EDT
Black voters have not been “brainwashed,” and suggesting as much — as Herman Cain and Pat Buchanan have recently — is demeaning and derogatory, Jesse Jackson said Friday.
“Those are very strong words,” the veteran civil rights activist told POLITICO. “It’s both demeaning and insulting.”
Cain, the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza and a Republican presidential candidate, on Wednesday told CNN that black voters have been “brainwashed into not being open-minded, not even considering a conservative point of view.”
“I have received some of that same vitriol simply because I am running for the Republican nomination as a conservative,” Cain told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “So it’s just brainwashing and people not being open-minded, pure and simple.”
On Thursday, Buchanan, an MSNBC contributor, endorsed that view.
“I admire Herman Cain for standing up and going against, if you will, the conventional wisdom, and being a tough African-American businessman who succeeded in a tough world,” Buchanan said.
He said blacks had been hurt by programs championed by Democratic presidents like Lyndon B. Johnson.
“Great Society liberalism has been devastating for the African-American family. … I think what he’s saying that they bought an awful lot of liberal propaganda on the liberal plantation, and I think he’s right,” Buchanan said.
Jackson criticized Buchanan for openly misconstruing Johnson’s record, whom he called one of the “most transformative presidents of the last century.”

Jesse, YOU insult ME every time you open your cotton pickin’ mouf. SIT DOWN AND STFU.
Jesse Jackson is the 1850’s house negro designated by the racist democrat party to keep the slaves in line.
Anachronism, anyone?
The democrat’s entire racist empire is crumbling all around them. It’s our duty to clean up the few outposts of democrat negro slavery that Sherman missed, even though it’s 150 years late.
It will be interesting to see if the racist, money-grubbing thug Jackson will go down with the slavery ship, clutching hundred dollar bills in his traitorous hands.
Blub! Blub!
When Jesse Jackass speaks, he is barely intelligible.
“Herman Cain just wants to set his people free.”
But... but... but... what about “Holder’s people”?
“I’ll have them ni**ers voting Democratic for two hundred years.”
President Lyndon Johnson - DEMOCRAT
Jesse Jackson, the Shakedown Artist who Just Won’t Go Away.
He should NEVER have been encouraged back in the 60s, but the MSM obviously found him irresistible, with his cutting edge Early Afro, and his marble-mouthed “it’s “rhyme-time” delivery which has gotten MUCH worse as time goes by.
It occurs to me that he may still be tolerated because no one has any idea of what he’s saying.
Jesse is angry because Obama took his place as the HNIC...
Truth hurts. The genie is out of the bottle.
There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.... After all we have been through. Just to think we can't walk down our own streets, how humiliating.
Hey, Jesse Jackson! Yeah, you! “ If the glove fits, we can acquit.” Deal with it.
Jesse in one of the main characters that put and keeps blacks on the “plantation”! If they got off the plantation of victimhood, they sure as hell wouldn’t have anything to do with him. Do you think Herman Cain or Thomas Sowell would have anything to do with JJ?
I would be pretty sure then they will and they will.
Is that a real LBJ quote?
“I’ll have those n**gers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” - Lyndon B. Johnson
"These negros, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they’ve never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness." - LBJ
Then there's "Old Reliable"
“Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.” - Robert Byrd
“I am a former kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in Raleigh County and the adjoining counties of the state …. The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia …. It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in every state of the Union. Will you please inform me as to the possibilities of rebuilding the Klan in the Realm of W. Va …. I hope that you will find it convenient to answer my letter in regards to future possibilities.” - Robert Byrd
And Looky Here!
"Blacks and Hispanics are “too busy eating watermelons and tacos” to learn how to read and write.” - Mike Wallace
I'd say Cain knows whereof he speaks.
How is it in the interest of blacks to vote for welfare and affirmative action, when those programs are actually detrimental to the development of individual character. Perpetual charity in the form of welfare and affirmative action, kills motivation, self respect, and innovation, keeping the recipient of said programs dependent on the system (plantation) for their subsistance.
How is that in anyone's best interest, unless it is "Jesse's interest" that he is actually talking about.
Bingo. And once in the system, if you can't provide for your self and family what the plantation ladles out, you're abusive or neglectful, and they'll take your kids...
