I know he promised to create jobs for black people but that is no reason to lose the black vote, is it?

he tries to be too intellectual. The black community looks at him as a white man in black skin.

Jackson had been losing credibility in the black community for some time now. His backing was tenuous at best and his experience was laughable. We as people of color should not back a candidate just because he is black but if he is the best we should give him are all. Farrakhan is the only one with a little pull and he has put himself in exile for some reason. The senator ( Obama) from Illinois is are next hope for black leadership in America. He is competent, articulate, and liked by liberals and conservatives alike.

Jesse Jackson lost the black because he committed adultery

No.
He lost the black vote because they knew him better than anyone else. He talks a good game but the evidence is that, like almost any human in existence, he corrupts easily.

LOL, you're ignorant. there is physically powerful and undesirable in each and every race. you will possibly desire to understand hundreds of thousands of people in case you think of which you will communicate for a whole race. Do each and every physique on right here a desire and get in touch with 10 issues that Obama stands for. i'm going to provide you 20 minutes. i'm harmless too and that i won't be able to be balloting for Obama, McCain or Hillary.

Jesse who? This is not the 60's. No one wants a rep for "black people" everyone wants a rep for "the people". I'm sick of labels and of the people who insist on holding on to them.

He made fun of Jews. Seriously that is the precise reason why he stopped. He made fun of a Jew and the Democratic party went berserk.

He said he denied it and apologized but the damage was already done.
But of course that was the 1984 elections

Because most black people realized that he wasn't running for them, he was running for his own glory. He is very proud of himself, in case you have not noticed.

He campaigned as a (social) liberal. Historically, self proclaimed liberals never win elections. They have to hide that fact.
