Jesse Jackson says NASCAR should feature more African-American drivers because "negroes can drive cars fast."

Jackson made the remarks on Tuesday at a NASCAR-sponsored sports luncheon at the 33rd Annual Rainbow/PUSH Coalition conference in Chicago.

"One thing I know, negroes can drive cars fast," Jackson said to laughter. "I mean, we go through red lights, even [drive] at night with our lights off. We can drive cars fast," he asserted from the podium.

Its understandable trying to expand the market, but take a hard look at what you have hooked up with NASCAR. Treating this tension creating snake as some sort of hero for positive change and by embracing his agenda even more, you assure yourself of continuing demand$. And just because others have knuckled under to Jacksons organization, doesn't mean you have to.

I cannot beleive he said that. If a white person said that, there would be a bug deal to be said.

Protestors Call Jesse Jackson 'Worst Nightmare' for Black Community

Chicago (CNSNews.com) - As Democrat John F. Kerry addressed Jesse Jackson's 33rd annual Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Conference on Tuesday, about 100 African-American religious and community leaders gathered on a sidewalk outside the conference to protest Jackson for being the black community's "worst nightmare."

"Jesse is an immoral person. He has a history of being on the wrong side of history," said Pastor Anthony Williams of Chicago's St. Stephens Lutheran Church.

"The media -- the American media -- has invented our worst nightmare in the black community. He has never done anything beneficial for our people," Williams told CNSNews.com.

"We are letting the Democratic Party know -- from a state, county and federal level -- that the black vote is not for sale. I will vote for Mickey Mouse before I vote for John Kerry," Williams added.

The protestors chanted and carried signs that read "Jesse does not speak for black people" and "America's number-one pimp selling the black vote."

Williams does not believe that black voters' overwhelming support for the Democratic Party has proven beneficial to minorities.

"The African American community has historically got nothing (from supporting the Democratic Party) -- a precious few has gotten something like these old civil rights organizations and people like Jesse," Williams said.

"We have been taken for granted because of people like Jesse. His day is over with," he added.

Another protestor, Harold Davis objected to what he perceived as Jackson's character defects.

"We know that his history speaks that he is a liar, he is a thief, he's a charlatan, he is a pimp. He is all the things that the black community should now say to him it's time for you to stop -- it's time for you to stop misleading and misguiding folks," said Harold Davis, a member of the Chicago chapter of the Amer-I-Can Program, a California-based self-esteem-building organization that operates in inner cites and prisons. The group was founded in 1988 by NFL Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown.

The protestors said Jackson does not represent black America.
