Jesse Jackson Crying?

How many people think Jesse Jackson was crying not because Obama won but because he no longer has anything to complain about and thus no job?

    Wasn't it Jesse Jackson who criticized Obama and said that he would cut his nuts off?? Jesse Jackson is a fake and a phony AND I am a black man...Obama represents me.

    Jesse Jackson has a lot to cry for. He has been there and seen many things in his lifetime. He was there when Martin Luther King was shot on that balcony right in my hometown. This was what the Civil rights movement was all about. Do you understand how many lives had been lost in order to be able to make something like what happened last night possible. This is what he had been fighting for all these years. The dream finally came and he knows that all those people's death did not go in vain. Grow up and stop being ignorant.

    Jesse Jackson was crying just like most other people because it was an historic event. And I would be pretty choked up if I had been standing beside Martin Luther King when he was doing his speech to now be standing in Chicago with white AND black people now supporting their black president Obama. Martin Luther Kinds daughter said he will finally RIP. And that he will! Go Obama!!!!!!

  • Grow up and stop being an immature idiot like everyone else. Jesse Jackson was probably crying because he never thought he would see anything like this. Stop trying to analyze it as a bad thing. Obama's your president irregardless of all the blogging you do on here.

    I am sure that he can still complain about things...but I think he was crying because I believe he was right beside MLK where he got shot on the balcony in Tenn......this has to hit him harder then I could possibly image because Obama is becoming president thanks to MLK marchs and spoken word

    I was confused by his crying a couple of months ago he wanted to cut Obama thing out.

    He was crying because he saw something he has worked and struggled for his entire life come true.

    Source(s): common sense.
