Ferguson Protestors Corner Jesse Jackson, Accuse Him Of Profiteering On Brown’s Death

More Videos From Western Journalism

Protesters cornered Jesse Jackson at a McDonald’s in Ferguson, Missouri, trashing him for what they saw as profiteering over Michael Brown’s death, rather than actually being a leader.

“Hey, Jesse Jackson. How you doing? Are you here to support us?” one protester began, approaching Jackson’s vehicle and recording the interaction.

“You’ve been marching all day long? We haven’t seen you marching all day long,” he said. “Are you going to pay the bond of those brothers that’s been locked up?”

“Are you marching today with us, or are you just going to sit in the car?” the second protester demanded.

“We ain’t seen you!” the first protester said. “When you going to stop selling us out, Jesse? We don’t want you here in St. Louis! When you gonna stop selling us out, Jesse?”

Jackson, the so-called civil rights leader who has truthfully done little but point Democrat voter registration volunteers in the direction of angry black protestors, who are easy bait for voter registration drives, said nothing in response. Then, his driver chimed in, saying “Wait a minute, brother…”

But he didn’t get much out of his mouth before being interrupted by increasingly agitated protestors.

“Ain’t no, ‘Wait a minute brother,’” the first protester retorted, growing increasingly irate. “This is real! We activists out here! … You’re not a leader. We don’t want you here, brother. Matter of a fact, you’re not even a brother. You can keep moving and get them brothers out of jail. That’s what you can do!”

  • They were mad because he wasn't doing what they wanted him to do which was to help them spread the same hate as they are. They don't care about the truth, only their agenda. They want all the freebees so they have to keep up their rants of victimhood. Well when you play a victim you take the chance of becoming one.

  • I had to laugh, the truth is Jackson probably knows that officer Wilson is innocent and was defending his life. Jackson probably also knows that the criminal Brown is guilty as hell. What's the hypocrite Jackson suppose to do, get out and walk around in 98 degree heat and chant something.
