Jackson said the bingo debate ongoing in Alabama is a voting rights issue and a matter of economic justice.

Rally leaders evoked Civil Rights era imagery during the march.Marchers sang, "We shall overcome" and the demonstration paused to pray in front of Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, the church once led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

I don’t think Jackson is playing with a full Bingo card.
Seriously, this is probably further evidence of the progress we’ve made in civil rights in this country—Jesse Jackson has nothing better to do than march for Bingo.
Was there any police officers with German Shepherds, or firehoses? Or did they just march by largely unnoticed?
He had to lower his standards because Obama took over the shake down scams of big businesses.
Great venue for him. That’s just about what he ought to be doing.
Jesse’s Catholic?
And in other news Robert Wagner and Lindsay Wagner are
doing infomercials. Everybody gots to make a living.
And maybe he'll talk about massive bloodshed the way he used to:
There are those who argue that the right to privacy is of higher order than the right to life. I do not share that view. I believe that life is not private, but rather it is public and universal.
If one accepts the position that life is private, and therefore you have the right to do with it as you please, one must also accept the conclusion of that logic. That was the premise of slavery. You could not protest the existence or treatment of slaves on the plantation because that was private and therefore outside of your right to concerned.
Another area that concerns me greatly, namely because I know how it has been used with regard to race, is the psycholinguistics involved in this whole issue of abortion. If something can be dehumanized through the rhetoric used to describe it, then the major battle has been won. ... Those advocates of taking life prior to birth do not call it killing or murder, they call it abortion. They further never talk about aborting a baby because that would imply something human. Rather they talk about aborting the fetus. Fetus sounds less than human and therefore can be justified.
In conclusion, even if one does take life by aborting the baby, as a minister of Jesus Christ I must also inform and/or remind you that there is a doctrine of forgiveness. The God I serve is a forgiving God. … What happens to the mind of a person, and the moral fabric of a nation, that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience? What kind of a person, and what kind of a society will we have 20 years hence if life can be taken so casually?
It is that question, the question of our attitude, our value system, and our mind-set with regard to the nature and worth of life itself that is the central question confronting mankind. Failure to answer that question affirmatively may leave us with a hell right here on earth.
Bingo.
...also featuring Jesse Jackson!
I remember, despicable man.
Has he marched for black male and female responsibility, dropouts and crime in Chicago?
Has he been in Detroit marching for jobs?
Has he marched on elderly women whose COLA has been frozen for three years and will lose a lot with this JudasCare bill?
I didn’t notice him marching for vouchers... or better yet, straightening out the teacher’s unions to hold them accountable so there’s no need of them.
BINGO not abortion,
BINGO not abortion,
BINGO we’ll all win someday...
(to the tune of “We Shall Overcome”)
Well, this here red neck honky could wish.
Jesse marches when there is money involved.
Money talks.....BS walks.
.
The bingo at issue here isn’t what most people think. In Bama its electronic bingo better known as slot machines. Jesse is apparently campaigning for those who want a vote put to public ballot.
