Yah...I forgot about that but then again I was 10 years old and not concerned with such things. That was definitely a G move on Jesse's part.

On a side note... Jesse was fine back in his day...
“I think Jesse Jackson, he’s the biggest player hater. His time is up. All you old n****s, time is up. We heard your voice, we saw your marching, we heard your sermons. We don’t wanna hear that s**t no more.
“It’s a new day. It’s a new voice. I’m here now. We don’t need Jesse; I’m here. I got this. We got Barack, we got David Banners and Young Jeezys.
“We’re the voice now. It’s no more Jesse. Sorry. Goodbye. You ain’t helping nobody in the ‘hood. That’s the bottom line. Goodbye, Jesse. Bye!”

Yes he did a lot a great things. And he marched with King. Does he get a Negro Pass his entire life for it? Where was he when the crack epidemic hit and the men of his generation checked out of society, abandoned their kids and were beating people over the head?
Where were you?
