lol my point proven... its like you all are making it a race issue. All the man did and does is speak out for african americans and all of a sudden hes a racists...lol. But a guy speaks on killing off all black babies to reduce crime rate and its doesnt really mean anything. Funny how that all works. when has he ever spoken down on any other race, never... soo why is he blamed for making everythign racial. and "if he was a white guy" isnt valid, plenty of white guys have had clemency alnog with blacks. soo "if" isnt really a good example. It was a political issue and race wasnt really a part in this whole situation.. Soo again i ask how was tihs ever a racial issu?

Once again, you show how little you actually know about the man you idolize.
Jesse Jackson was relegated to a non-entity in the presidential election in 1984 in part because he was overheard in public calling Brooklyn 'Heebietown'. And that's what what he slipped up with and let people hear in public. When are you going to get it through your head?
I'm fairly certain that you never actually looked at the context of the 'kill black babies to reduce crime rate' statement. Let me link the story from a VERY left leaning website, dailykos:
Addressing a caller's suggestion that the "lost revenue from the people who have been aborted in the last 30 years" would be enough to preserve Social Security's solvency, radio host and former Reagan administration Secretary of Education Bill Bennett dismissed such "far-reaching, extensive extrapolations" by declaring that if "you wanted to reduce crime ... if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down." Bennett conceded that aborting all African-American babies "would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do," then added again, "but the crime rate would go down."
So. I don't think he was a proponent of aborting any black babies. That doesn't mean what what he said wasn't statistically true, because it is. Does truth make you racist?
