An absolute beast in the history of the civil rights movement, the closest a black person had gotten to a nomination for president before Obama.. a person of absolute integrity and dignity
May he rest in peace
I hope he gets the state funeral he deserves…. |

Oh no just seen this.
I've still got a 12inch vynil record in the loft by Grandmaster Flash "Jesse"
Until that song came out I had no knowledge of him, unlike today with the internet I had to go to the library and do research and what a guy 
May he rest in peace ✌️ |

For most of you who don’t know, he literally changed the way the Democratic Party chooses its presidential candidate…
In the Republican Party.. their primaries are run as winner takes all.. which means whoever wins that state gets all the delegates, no matter what percentage they got!
In the Democratic Party… their primary changed to PR… so you get the amount of delegates in a state proportional to your percentage |

He was with MLK at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis when King was shot and I guess he was one of the last members of the Civil Rights Generation.
Sadly the legacy of that generation has largely been trashed by the mad identity politics and vile anti semitism which dominates the Democratic left these days.
RIP JJ |

I'd forgotten that Jackson had his own history with anti semitism, once describing New York with openly racist language. 😔 |

It was one comment, for which unlike most politicians these days he immediately apologised
What MLK was for the South, you could absolutely argue Jesse Jackson was for the North
Without MLK there would be no Jesse Jackson… and without no Jesse Jackson there would be no president Obama or vice president Harris… |

What is the criteria for a state funeral over there? |

Kamala Harris was chosen after all the primaries had taken place…
Because Biden won all the primaries, once he dropped out his delegates and super delegates were allowed to choose who they wanted |

Regardless of politics, it probably can be done with the support of the President.....I'm guessing not. |
