BLACK GRASSROOTS ACTIVIST: JESSE JACKSON FAMILY 'TRAITORS' TO CHICAGO

Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.’s wife Sandi, a Chicago alderman, was called a traitor to the community by local grassroots activist Mack Glover. Glover's accusation came during a December meeting about the housing and foreclosure problems in the black communities of Chicago’s south and west sides. His comments were directed at Jackson’s facilitation of the largest “planned urban development” (PUD) in the country.

Glover accused Sandi Jackson of being a sellout for helping the project move forward and thereby giving a “white developer $100 million” to build a project in the black community, where Glover and other grassroots activists at the meeting say “black people will not be getting any jobs.” Glover’s comments blasting Sandi Jackson received applause from the entire room of nearly 200 black Chicagoans.

Glover expounded on his comments in an interview with Breitbart News following the meeting, taking aim not only at Sandi Jackson, but also the “entire Jackson family,” including the infamous civil rights leader himself, Jesse Jackson.

The Jacksons have never cared about anyone but themselves. Learned from the best, Jesse. Smeared MLKs blood on his sweater and wore it for days while getting interviewed to everyone elses dismay. Nothing but self-aggrandizing POS.

I'd love to see the black communities response to a white man saying something like this. These people are disgusting.
