I guess it is ironical that I have a chance to say to Jesse Jackson, 'You need to be mature. You need to be positive. You need to be bigger than the folks who are trying to tear you down.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Jesse Jackson is a master of the old expression that it doesn't matter what someone says about you as long as they spell your name right.
One thing of the many things that I know about Jesse Jackson, he is persistent.
You know, Jesse Jackson is just trying to stir up a hornet's nest.
Jesse Jackson is not anti-Semitic, but in politics, you always get in trouble when you try to be cute.
I have very mixed feelings about Jesse Jackson. He's very good about labor, and human and civil rights issues, but not so good on cultural issues.
I'm not just gonna go after the black Jesse Jackson they all want to make fun of, but I know the wrong people are gonna laugh at that. I don't want to play to that crowd. I don't.
Jesse Jackson, when I met him, he had an innocence about him which is still very much a part of him today.
Here's Kanye, the great musical genius of his generation in hip hop, but, like, society really can't even deal with him because he's always saying something that people go, 'Oh, I can't believe Kanye said that. I can't believe he did that.'
I injured myself politically when I took on Jesse Jackson' in the 1988 presidential campaign. I was too strident. I didn't recognize the emotional tie that he had with all black voters.
I find Jesse Jackson to be religiously, progressively old fashioned.
