Jesse Jackson calls for 'mass' demonstration against EFM

**Zacha341** · March-23-13, 06:19 AM

The Rev. Jesse Jackson Friday called for a mass, non-violent demonstration to protest the appointment of an emergency manager over Detroit's finances.

The civil rights leader, along with councilwoman JoAnn Watson and U.S. Rep. John Conyers, spoke to a group in downtown Detroit. Together, they suggested instead an urban renewal program for the city and asked citizens to stand up prior to Monday's start date for newly appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr.

"It's time for a major, mass, non-violent demonstration in Michigan," said Jackson.

Sam Riddle is now onboard the crook wagon as well. Maybe they can hire MonCon too.

He's a fool. Maybe he should have done this before Detroit drove all of its citizens out and maybe he should have cared when Kwame was raping the cities tax payers.

Average Detroiters don't care anymore about this stuff. They just want their street lights on and police to respond.

I know. I heard that there were only about 15 people and 10 reporters listening to him the other day.

**Oldpuck** · March-23-13, 10:30 AM

Professional rabble-rousers. Please please please go back to your own cities/states and let Detroit start its painful healing.

I used to think JJ was just a little slow and behind the times. I was wrong. He's just a selfish person putting himself ahead of the needs of others. He irrelevance is now almost complete.

I have to drive the Lodge out to Southfield every morning and it is jaw dropping how poorly lit the city is.

If you think that's bad, try driving I-94 on the eastside everyday.

LOL! Thanks for that. I found the clip:

Django Unchained - Bag Men Scene

"Democracy" in action. Next raid: bags with pleats or without pleats?

At one time they were talking about Jesse becoming mayor of Washington DC. Washington mayor-jailbird-mayor again Marion Barry said about that "the only thing Jesse wants to run is his mouth".

First Dennis Rodman embarrasses the nation by flying to North Korea and hob-nobs with their wacko politicians. Then Jesse pulls the same stunt, traveling to Venezuela and delivering a glowing eulogy for Hugo Chavez,whose anti-American quotes are legendary of this despot.
So it was a forgone conclusion that Jesse would soon be in Detroit to dictate to its citizens what, where, how and when they should act. I am sure Al Sharpton is waiting in the wings.

Al Sharpton is busy promoting the divide of the country along political lines on MSNBC.

**Zacha341** · March-24-13, 08:59 AM

Yeah, Rodman's chummy visit did not do much good. Next thing you know N. Korea's rattling the sabers again. Or maybe that is just a right-wing rumor...

...

Further, anyone can love and admire a dictator they DON'T HAVE TO LIVE UNDER.

Anyway, where was JJ when the city was being LOOTED which has in part delivered us to this day? Where was he and Sharpton over the last few years with all of the murders [[solved and unsolved) and crime; especially among innocent children, elder and teen victims and teen perpetrators???

I chatted with a well known former DPD Police Chief yesterday and his comment was what the hell is Jackson doing here. Does anyone really listen to Jackson anymore?

I chatted with a little-known former washroom attendant and he was thrilled that Jackson was here.

Who cares?

**Cliffy** · March-23-13, 12:04 PM

Jesse has done some good things like going to Iraq and Yugoslavia to bring back captured troops that takes a lot of guts but there is no need for this. Its already happening and the city in a complete mess and still getting worse. Keeping status quo is not the answer anymore.

**birwood** · March-23-13, 12:18 PM

Can anyone out there tell us, DYer's who is paying the freight to transport, feed and lodge Jesse Jackson while he is here in Detroit? I'm sure the man doesn't come cheap and isn't doing this out of the goodness of his heart. And finally, why does he have to play the race card everywhere he goes....it isn't about race, its about managing money to ensure a future Detroit. I'd like to see how some of the elected council manage their finances....I'd bet they don't do it like they do the Citys books

Any time a white man does anything in the black community it's racism, racist! As far as the Council managing their personal finances, just ask PU and Kenyatta, they're experts.

Am not well-informed, but the basic method may be to extort money from corporations to contribute to him. If they don't, he'll call them 'racists'. If they do, he travels to Detroit.

Jackson is a joke. Most people know that except for the die hards that always want to play the race card. Peters is pandering to a few, Conyers just wants to snuggle with Jackson instead of MonCon. Stay tuned for how this plays out. When this Zimmerman/ Trayvon Martin thing in Florida gets going, watch for Jesse to be flying around on his broomstick down there.
