There was a time when Jessie Jackson was the most relevant black leader in America. No more. His shake down of corporate America and his personal shenanigans have left him totally discredited.

Jesse Jackson is a true hater.

Although I like Reggae and Dancehall, I have never heard of this performing family. Thanks for opening my ears!

I was really mad at Jesse and his jealous behind too, but I felt better the next day.

Great song!

Beautiful song, Bella, thanks! I’m not much into reggae either, I like this one.

I hope this crazy flap with the Rev. makes it plain: He is NOT the officially elected spokesperson for all Black folks!!!! Can someone draft a memo?

I definitely needed to hear this song today! Work gets hard sometimes…life gets hard sometimes…and it’s always good to just sit back and ease your mind. They are a wonderful group and their music is so inspirational. Thank you for sharing.

ITA with Get Togetha!

As I watched it being reported on the BBC evening news I was in shock!
A blanket of disbelief covered my face, I drew breath and rolled my eyes to the back of my head and said to myself
“huh?! why say that, Mr. Brother Man, why?!”

I use to view Jessie as a NOW person with integrity and promise.. but now I view him as a slippery character who is only humbled when he is in the spotlight.

Attaboy, Jessie, you’re in the spotlight now!

Anyway, Afrobella, that was a BRILLIANT Thursday throw back!
This weekend I plan on mixing some Baby goodies for my little Diva child. Then play a few sets of Tennis, go bowling and box a few ’rounds all on my Nintendo Wii :0)

Let’s just hope that the Nintendo’s Boxing opponent isn’t named Jessie ;0)
Either way, it’s all in the name of fitness.

Have a brilliant weekend all!

Jesse jsut wants to throw Obama under a bus; but what he doesn’t realize is that the more he speaks against Obama the more America will like him. Funny; but it just works like that. The more black folks from the old guard denouce Obama the more credibility he has.

I can’t help but think that these so called “blunders” are a destiny type thing that will propel Obama even higher. God works in mysterious ways.

Hi there,
Found your link through NerdGirl. When I read your post- I just shook my head all over again thinking about Jesse’s comments. How absolutely dissapointing!!!!! I think though that it gives you a picture into who he really is- so now we know.
