Jackson: UK 'must choose inclusion'
belfasttelegraph.co.uk ^ | December 3, 2013

American civil rights campaigner the Rev Jesse Jackson says the UK's "big challenge" is to "choose inclusion".

Britain had to build a "new nation" a nd in a speech to Cambridge University students, he said people had to learn to live together and grow.

"Too many Americans do not realise-and perhaps too many Europeans as well do not yet realise-that most people in the world are black, brown, yellow, young, female, non-Christian, and don't speak English," he told the Cambridge Union Society.

"And the formerly colonised peoples are now moving away from the monochrome, all 'one-ethnic- group' societies.

"This is Europe's big challenge for the future, and the UK's big challenge, to build a new nation, to choose inclusion.

"We must unlearn earlier lessons we learned too well. We learned how to survive apart.

"We must now learn a new lesson-how to live and prosper together, choosing inclusion which leads to growth."

He told the student debating society: " A comprehensive policy of democracy and inclusion is the road map to a new England, to serve the emerging, diverse world."

“”Too many Americans do not realise-and perhaps too many Europeans as well do not yet realise-that most people in the world are black, brown, yellow, young, female, non-Christian, and don’t speak English,”

Old Caucasians are SOL.

“Jesse Jackson hits out at Oxford-Cambridge admissions - December 3, 2013 - Echoing comments he made on Monday at Cambridge University, he said: “I’m concerned that when 21 colleges at Oxbridge took no black students last year, the students are being cheated of a multi-cultural and multi-racial experience in a world that is multi-cultural and multi-racial.”

Hey, Jessie, that’s because they likely didn’t make the academic cut and Oxbridge doesn’t give you an automatic “affirmative action pass because we know blacks can’t be expected to meet the entrance requirements we’d have for whites and Asians.” Very unlike, say Harvard.

“JJ says most people in the world are black, brown, yellow, young, female, non-Christian, and don’t speak English”

They already control the whole continent of Africa.

Game. Set. Match.

Next, I’ll take creepy community organizers for $1000, Alex.

?!?

So the Black/Brown/Yellow people, who had been colonized in the past, are now moving away? From what? Their homelands? Which are monochrome? Why are they moving away - and coming here? Why don't they stay where they are? Maybe - because our western society is more tolerant, more democratic, more capitalistic?

Well, maybe they should stay where they are - in their "monochrome, all 'one-ethnic-group' societies - and try to uplift them, by emulating our western society.

Regards,

Somehow I missed his speech in Saudi Arabia, which is actively rounding up its immigrants and deporting them by the tens of thousands.

...and don’t speak English...

Actually they do, Jesse, if they're at all educated; and as a second language because it's a necessity in a world in which English is the language of science, commerce, travel, and more.

Most people in the world are morons, too. So what.

Says one of the most divisive guys in history

No kidding! And the fact that this intellectual lightweight is given any attention at all, is the biggest joke in history.

That’s Mel B, the Spice Girl.

The other photo is some T&F girl named Allison Stokke.
She missed quals for the Olympics, but she’s famous for being hot.

‘A socialist one that hates it citizenry, steals all its liberties, has no freedom of the press, lousy health care, lots of bad violent crime and lower standards of living than pre WWII. I would say you’re late to the party!’

1—I cant disagree.
2—Ditto.
3—No, in fact, the current dispute is the abuse of the press of its freedom.

4—The NHS whilst flawed isn’t the hellhole you think it is.
5—Really?. American lectures on violent crime and society?.

6—Hmm, no.

I think Jessie think the reason you don’t hear Oxford not in the BCS and the NCAA final four is because Oxford doesn’t have enough BLACKS.
