Rev. Jesse Jackson joined the Occupy Atlanta protests this week and likened the ongoing demonstrations to the civil rights movement.
Speaking to protesters in a homeless shelter Thursday, he said the demonstrations that have spread across the country are an extension of the movement he helped lead.
“Do not let difficult times break your spirits,” Jackson said. “In all things, keep your eyes on the prize. Renew your faith, keep your hope alive and victory is assured.”
“Only when the foundation shakes does everybody make an adjustment,” he continued. “The people are saying we need economic justice, we need shared economic security. We are free but not equal.”
On Friday, Jackson was among a group of protesters that took over the lobby of SunTrust Plaza in downtown Atlanta for about an hour. According to the Associated Press, the group sang protest songs during the takeover.
The same day, Occupy Atlanta filed a lawsuit against the city, claiming it was arbitrary and unconstitutional for Mayor Kasim Reed to rescind his executive order allowing protesters to stay beyond Woodruff Park’s 11 p.m. closing time.
Reed revoked the order in late October, resulting in more than 50 arrests when demonstrators wouldn’t leave at closing time, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The group plans to reoccupy the park Saturday. As The Blaze reported, it denied a report that it had sought assistance from the Nation of Islam, led by Louis Farrakhan, to aid in their efforts.
“We have not asked the Nation of Islam to provide protection for us,” Tim Franzen, a spokesman for the group, told the Journal-Constitution. “If they show up it’s because they chose to be there, not because we invited them.”
Franzen said Occupy Atlanta is not affiliated with any outside groups, though sounded less certain than in his previous assertion.
“I don’t think the Nation of Islam is in any kind of agreement with [Occupy Atlanta],” he said.

Posted on November 5, 2011 at 3:15pmHow can you argue with his statement? It is not in contravention with life in the real world. We are not equal. I accept that in all things I undertake in living my life. I don’t want equality, especially a fabricated equality.
When the left, in all settings around the world, and in all historical context, moves toward the idea of equality, it is always played out by others losing their freedoms and liberties.
Life is unfair. There is no point denying it. I can’t imagine a way to make life fair without depriving someone else. Whatever you have to offer the world, you got from your environment and those who influenced you: Culture is learned and shared. Those experiences, culture and values, are not the same for everyone. And how you CHOOSE to use those experiences will determine the outcome. In other words, you can’t manufacture fairness or equality.
However, you can be, do, and have anything you want when your willing to pay the cost of having it, or you can create a life story of unfairness and inequality. That’s the story that Progressive like. That’s the story that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton prefer.
The real question is, why do the Progressives USE this story against minorities? You know why!

B: Take everything I own and divide it amongst themselves.
Either way, they would still be as miserable as they are today.
With option A they would be adverse to working hard, paying bills, meeting payroll and paying taxes.
With option B they would come to the sad realization that the guy who was filling their trough has run out of slop.

All freedom without civic and political equality would be anarchy mitigated by something resembling feudalism, and there can be no real civic or political equality if corporate entities are given the same status as individuals with regard to their freedom of speech and political action. All equality automatically negates freedom, since tyranny is always needed to enforce it, as the experience of Communist countries amply demonstrates. Why cannot otherwise sensible people see this?

The discrimination they faced was deplorable and I am so sorry that anyone would be treated as such,but the majority of white people wish them no harm and want them to succeed. We hate what their ancestors had to go through. Yes, there is still racism within the white community but it is more prevalent nowadays within the black community against the whites, and you can thank Old Jesse, Al, and all the rest of the major black leaders for it. Including our president and his wife. I think that it is very sad that Obama wasted the perfect opportunity to unite the races but instead divided them and put the progress that has been made back to years before. Herman Cain was correct when he said that the blacks have been brainwashed. . Jesse wants to punish the white community of today for the slavery that was prior to the cival war. Has he forgotten those who fought against slavery that just happened to be white? Or the many whites that joined the cival rights movement on their behalf? What about that Jesse?
