The Rev. Jesse Jackson will make reparations for the past enslavement of blacks his No. 1 issue this fall, an aide to the civil rights leader promised yesterday.

The 59-year-old Mr. Jackson will hold a press conference at the Rainbow/PUSH headquarters in Chicago this morning to announce details of his new campaign.

Shouldn't he be making his child "reparations" payments before going after reparations for something that happened 140 years ago? I mean it's not like he's been dead for over 100 years or something.

Just more proof that he has shit for brains!

Johnson's "New Society" has already done more than enough towards reparations with all the welfare payments, food stamps, ADC, ect..

Maybe he'd rather go back "home" to Africa where Aids is rampant.

I support reparations as long as they're in the form of one-way fares to Africa.

There I go again, wishing and hoping. Man, I am so sorry slavery was ever started in this hemisphere. Words cannot express my sorrow.

We have less access to capital," Mr. Jackson told Reuters

That from the most successful extortionist in the history of the world.

Don't underestimate Jackson. He's "crazy like a fox," as the saying goes.

Jackson and the other race-hustlers have become alarmed at the growing of calm and cordial relations among American middle class whites and blacks. If the Bush Administration continues its tax-cutting and deregulatory thrusts, even more American blacks will mount the ladder of capitalism and realize that the racialists are not their friends but their worst enemies. Something, anything, has to be done to avert the looming threat of racial harmony, or America's huge, vital race-baiting industry, the sole means of support for Jackson and his confreres, will collapse!

No claim could possibly be more divisive than the claim that white Americans owe black Americans anything at all for the 135-year-dead institution of slavery. So, to keep the racial fires stoked and secure the jobs of the Jacksons, Sharptons, Mfunes and Waterses of the world, that's the claim they'll press. And they'll get a lot of respectful attention from the useful idiots Old Media for doing so.

Keep your powder dry!

Freedom, Wealth, and Peace,
