The passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson<\/a> after an extended bout with progressive supranuclear palsy still has the civil rights<\/a> community and the world at large mourning. Saturday, Jackson\u2019s son, Jesse Jackson Jr., took the stage at the Rainbow PUSH Coalition headquarters in Chicago to talk about his daddy and those who talk about his daddy. <\/p>\n

According to Yahoo! News<\/a>, Jackson Jr. wanted it to be known that Bill Clinton,\u00a0Barack Obama, and Joe Biden, all of whom spoke at the public memorial, were not as familiar with his father as they purported\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cYesterday I listened for several hours of three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson,\u201d he said on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Jackson Jr. continued, \u201cHe maintained a tense relationship with the political order, not because the presidents were White or Black, but the demands of our message, the demands of speaking for the least of these \u2014 those who are disinherited, the damned, the dispossessed, the disrespected \u2014 demanded not Democratic or Republican solutions, but demanded a consistent, prophetic voice that at no point in time sold us out as a people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In words of Kevin Hart to Don Cheadle, \u201cdamn\u2026\u201d. <\/p>\n

He continued via CBS News<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

He would have stood against the war in the Gaza. He would\u00a0have been fighting for the Affordable Care Act. He would be fighting to save the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and challenging the Supreme Court to render a decision in the Clay decision that would strengthen the Congressional Black Caucus and not undermine it<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We have no doubt that Jackson Jr. and his family are greiving but even in the midst of grief, you might need to get some straightenin\u2019 and he was certain up to the task. <\/p>\n

\n

I am somebodyness is what Jesse Jackson is known for, not the \u201984 and \u201988 campaign and voter registration. Jesse Jackson\u2019s greatest contribution is not political. It is psychological. Negro, you are better off today than you were when you met this Negro!<\/em><\/p>\n

Tell us how you really feel then!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
