Condolences to his friends and family

I think he would've won in 1988 if it wasn't for Dukakis

 

[AJUMP23]

I hope his family finds peace.

He walked with Dr. King. He didn't have the same impact but he was part of the movement. A part of history is now gone.

RIP JJ

Crazy how much he looked like early AI Will Smith when he was young

Tim Conway Jr used to do a radio bit where he'd play Jesse Jackson clips and have people try to guess what the hell he was saying.

I think he was in the wrong on a lot of things, but can't deny he was an important figure in the civil rights movement. RIP.

wrong on what exactly

For example, he was quick to join the accusers of the Duke lacrosse players, going so far as to promise to pay the tuition of the alleged victim regardless if she was telling the truth or had made up the whole thing up and ruined those men's reputations (it was the latter). He threw his weight behind the "defund the police" movement and BLM, which turned out to be in many ways a scam and one of the worst influences on race divisiveness of the last twenty years.
