Jesse Jackson: Few on bus were from New Orleans

Reverend Jackson says fear keeping locals from returning


03:36 PM CDT on Wednesday, October 12, 2005


WWLTV.com



Reverend Jesse Jackson now acknowledges that at least 150 of the 200 people he bused into New Orleans were not local evacuees and that most were not even from southeast Louisiana.


Jackson had condemned government leaders for failing to use local, displaced workers to fill the rebuilding jobs, so he organized a bus pickup of people in Chicago, Memphis, St. Louis and Jackson, Mississippi to try to recruit locals to return.


The group arrived at a Metairie Piccadilly to a triumphant welcome and job applications. Most of those interviewed by Eyewitness News said they were not returning locals.
lol, gotta love this guy

Jesse is one of the most successful race hustler/shakedown artists of all time.

He'll do ANYTHING to get his face on TV, and put money in his pocket.

Jesse Jackson, Corps of Engineers disagree on cause of levee breach in Industrial Canal

11:29 AM CDT on Thursday, October 13, 2005


Dennis Woltering / WWL-TV Reporter



Two large breaches on the east side of the Industrial Canal led to flooding and miles of destruction. Rev. Jesse Jackson believes a runaway barge caused one of those breaches.




WWL-TV

Ernest Murry of the Army Corps of Engineers and Rev. Jesse Jackson discuss what they think caused the breach in the Industrial Canal.

“This was a tsunami of sorts,” Jackson said.


Jackson said people on that side of the Industrial Canal survived Hurricane Katrina. But many of them did not survive the floodwater that poured through this huge breach in the floodwall like a tidal wave.


“Here, where the water came gushing in it just…wiped out,” Jackson said.


There used to be a neighborhood of homes in the area before that flooding.


Jackson believes a big barge crashed through the floodwall here, bringing the tidal surge into this neighborhood, causing the devastation.

now, if he WAS an engineer I wouldn't just blow him off, but he's a "preacher"

He does get dangerous when he goes after corporations and businesses for settlements. Just because he claism that enough blacks aren't doing this or that, millions of dollars are spent on litigation and payouts, which costs people jobs, pensions, and reputations. It also drives insurance rates up for everyone.

He's been paid off so many times that at least one book has been written about it. The funny thing is, Jesses always gets a cut, and his sons have benefited immensely with several huge beer delivery distributorships in prime locations, and tons of cash. It's like legal blackmail, and I can't understand why anyone still believes that he has a shred of relevancy left.

He's laughing all the way to the bank.

Just another paraste living off the blood of blacks . Nothing new it's been going by their own for thousands of years . Just like the whites who do the same thing when they belong to a democracy that allows a few to enslave many . Democracys always end up in dictatorships brought on by citizens demanding the gov to take care of them .

I didn't reralize this was such ' possitive ' thread ! I failed to see the upbeat and joy in it you do .

You have continued to attack me on my replys along with your little liberal gang . One of you pimped to the boss until they banned me but thats ok , because it's not as though it's done in secret . So call me all the phobic and other hateful names just because it's PC . You may get rid of me and others here who don't agree then this will be just another place where a bunch of clones agree . The reverse racism here is getting to be obvious .

Everybody now ...America bad, all others good, white man evil racist, all others good ! Americans lazy ognorant racist . Immigrants intelegent, educated hard working people who love all mankind !

No commissioned officer should have to put up with Jesse, aside from a chaplain, and he should get combat pay.

Jesse did OK for himself, and he's a good family man. Maybe he can get one of his kids appointed to head up a federal commission to find out where that darn barge got to.

We don't want any wildass barges on the loose in downtown New Orleans, do we?

Plenty of them there already, and I hear they charge 20 bucks for a lap dance.

Was the so-called "Ninth Ward" section of New Orleans a public housing project or Section 8 housing? It seems odd that real homeowners would just walk away and not sell their land at least.

Oh, Me, c'mon. (okay, and this will be spelling aside, because, well, you know.) His little "gang" had you banned? And it didn't have anything to do with you?

He calls you, " phobic and hateful names because it's PC"? He said you were cynical; how is that hateful, how is that PC?


Okay and here is the real lesson. When using punctuation, after a period, use two spaces, after a comma, one.


An apostrophe after a subject will imply possession. Capitalize when starting a sentence or using a subject, (proper names, etc.),

We've gone over this before, no?
