Jackson: Black Voters Deserve A Return On Election ‘Investment’

November 10, 2012


CHICAGO (STMW) – The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Saturday said that President Obama’s reelection was “a great victory,” but that it would be incomplete with a reconstruction of urban America and an investment in the communities where the blacks who voted overwhelmingly for the president live.

“We’re happy and full of pride,” in the president’s reelection, Jackson told the crowd at the Saturday morning forum at Rainbow/PUSH headquarters, 930 E. 50th St., “but our houses remain raggedy … our schools remain closed.”

Despite attempts at voter suppression in states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida, Jackson said, blacks turned out en masse to vote, enduring waits that stretched into hours in many places. “We waited, we voted, we believed,” Jackson said. “Now we want to get well.

“We voted early, we voted long. Our votes won,” he said.

Rev. Jackson, who spoke longer, louder, and more forcefully than he has in some time at the Saturday morning Rainbow/PUSH meeting, asked the crowd, “What do we want? We want, we want, we want, we deserve, we deserve … a return on our investment.

“What’s good for us is good for everybody. What’s good for blacks is good for everybody.,” he said. “We bled too much, we died too young, we cried too much, we prayed too long, now we want a return on our investment.”

Referring to those voter suppression efforts, he said, “these acts of meanness had unintended consequences.” Rather than keeping blacks and Latinos away from the polls, voter ID measures and the curtailing of access to the voting booths made people more determined to vote. “Suppression became stimulation and people fought back,” he said.
“We fought back,” and the battle was won, but the war still remains, he said. “If we vote and don’t bargain we get nothing. A Jacuzzi filled with stagnant water will not get you well,” Jackson said. “You have to stir the water.”

Jackson said blacks, who voted for Barack Obama for state senator, for U.S. Senator, and now twice as President of the United States, should demand, bargain, and march if necessary, for an end to “patterns of race discrimination, (for) our share of jobs. We want faster public transportation to connect us to where the jobs are.”

He said black American also needs “access to capital,” noting, “It’s cruel to say. ‘jump in the pool,’ when there is no water. “

He also called for “fair trade,” a “domestic trade zone. We need a domestic OPEC,” he said. “In Chicago, for example, there are 100,000 vacant homes or abandoned lots; 40,000 in Baltimore. If we were to rebuild 25 percent, if we take down the boards and put in window panes, fix the broken sidewalks, cut the grass, fix the roofing, we’d create more jobs than there are people, just rebuilding where we live.”

Jackson said, “there must be a plan for reconstruction” of urban America.

Saying that automobile companies and banks got bailouts, want to be bail we’r“e the people who provided the votes — we want to be bailed out. We need jobs, education, healthcare now. If we can be targeted for voter registration and voter turnout, target us for reconstruction, now.

“We are the new mainstream,” Jackson said. “We are the America of shared hopes and shared dreams. We have the power, we have the votes.


“We waited, we voted, we believed, now we want to get well.” He then asked the crowd, “Do you want to get well? Are you willing to fight to get well?

“It’s time to sing a new song, of joy and hope,” Jackson said.

“It’s time to march again. March for healthcare, march for jobs. When we march great things come our way. “

Brent J. Budowsky takes Matt Drudge to task, "Dear Matt Drudge: Stop the race stories."

Budowsky is a former Democrat congressional hack/staffer and political opinion writer and blogger for publications including The Hill, the LA Progressive, and The Huffington Post. He writes Drudge:

Am I suggesting you are giving aid and comfort to those who are racist, or those who play the politics of race for partisan gain? Absolutely. You bet. A visit to the Drudge Report at any given time in recent months bears witness to story after story, time and time again, day after day, week after week, month after month, of a laundry list of stories with racial innuendo and suggestion and implication that I would like to believe are below the standards you would set for yourself and your profession.

I guess he's talking about stories like this and especially similar stories that make up Colin Flaherty's book "White Girl Bleed a Lot": The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it.

Presumably Budowsky finds books describing the unapologetic anti-white racist behavior of the Holder "Justice" Department such as Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department by J. Christian Adams objectionable too.

Now, place that into the context of the Democrat triumphalism about how "angry white men" are now going to be permanently disenfranchised by the new coalition of blacks and Latinos -- that 2012 was their last chance to use politics to impose their "racial patriarchy" on all those "people of color" and the LGTB folks.

If the statistics show that there is one heckuva lot more racially motivated attacks by blacks on whites (and they do), and that local, state and federal authorities are reluctant to bring those attackers to justice because it is not politically correct (see current Flaherty WND link above) AND that people like Budowsky are trying to get others to shut up about it -- essentially, to cover it all up -- then you've got a perfect petri dish for ethnic cleansing in this country. Did you think there was some sort of house rule against it? Why it is already happening in Los Angeles, with Latino gangs murdering blacks and driving them out of neighborhoods.

Back in the 90s, I was talking on the telephone to White Aryan Resistance leader Dennis Mahon, who was trying to convince me how easy it would be to start a race war in this country, "We'll just go into white working class neighborhoods in blackface and do drive-bys, then we'll clean it off and go into black neighborhoods and do the same thing." Mahon, who sits today in a federal prison, was convinced his plan would work. I didn't think so back then. Now, after 20 more years of PC and anti-white racism, especially after 4 years of the Holder regime, I think his plan just might work.

My sources say that the folks who are most tickled pink about the re-election of Obama are not Democrats but the intellectual leadership of the neo-Nazi and Klan organizations. They believe that four more years of Obama should give them the right conditions to enact ethnic cleansing.

If there is a confluence of a rising tide of racial violence from blacks and Latinos against white folks, and a deliberate refusal of the "legal authorities" to deal with it combined with a very real sense of complete political disenfranchisement, then some white folks -- prodded by the Klan and neo-Nazis -- may decide to settle the next election by driving out that part of the electorate beforehand. It has happened before in this country.

(See, among others, Redemption: The Last Battle of the Civil Waror Buried in the Bitter Waters: The Hidden History of Racial Cleansing in America by Elliot Jaspin.)

My own history of fighting against the Klan and neo-Nazis as part of the Constitutional militia movement is a matter of record. (See also To Shake Their Guns in the Tyrant's Face: Libertarian Political Violence and the Origins of the Militia Movement by Professor Robert H. Churchill.)

But the titanic forces that the racists of all colors want to unleash and that politically-correct Democrat party hacks like Budowsky want to cover up despite the plain reality that everyone understands will sweep all the best intentions away as everyone begins to believe that people of a different color who are trying to kill them must themselves be killed in "preemptive self-defense."

And, somewhere, Dennis Mahon will be laughing.
