Pepper Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 CBS Chicago: Jackson: Black Voters Deserve A Return On Election ‘Investment’ CHICAGO (STMW) – The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Saturday said that President Obama’s reelection was “a great victory,” but that it would be incomplete with (without?) a reconstruction of urban America and an investment in the communities where the blacks who voted overwhelmingly for the president live. “We voted early, we voted long. Our votes won,” he said. Rev. Jackson, who spoke longer, louder, and more forcefully than he has in some time at the Saturday morning Rainbow/PUSH meeting, asked the crowd, “What do we want? We want, we want, we want, we deserve, we deserve … a return on our investment. “What’s good for us is good for everybody. What’s good for blacks is good for everybody.,” he said. “We bled too much, we died too young, we cried too much, we prayed too long, now we want a return on our investment.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is a model of what. I have several thoughts on that question...unfortunately (?) none of them are suitable for a family friendly site such as this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
