Jesse Jackson & Corruption?

Question

About 3 years ago Jesse Jackson was on TV here in chicago (fox 32), He and the rainbow push coalition were pouring cans and 40s of bud on the street while declaring that Bud is a racist beer company and blah blah blah. Well a few months later his son Jesse Jackson Jr. purchased the distribution rights for Bud on the North Side of Chicago, might I add at a discounted rate.. Is this not illegal? Does selling the distribution rights for a mostly white rich area to Jackson Jr. make it ok for them to be racist? Since this is bound to cause some anger I must please ask you to look into this yourself, i saw this all on Tv the 9 o'clock news on FOX 32 about 2-3 years ago and I cant find anything about it now.

Answer 1

isnt that repeating ones self ? jackson/ corruption? oy~

Answer 2

Whatever one thinks of Jesse Jackson and his family, that muckraked story doesn't have very much oompf to it: the boycott was in 1983 and the franchise purchase in 1998!

Here's a story about Yousef Jackson from Crain's Chicago Business, Oct. 17, 2005: http://chicagobusiness.com/cgi-bin/mag/article.pl?article_id=24624&bt=Wrigley&searchType=phrase ("When the Jacksons bought River North Sales in 1998, the deal raised some eyebrows. The relationship between Anheuser-Busch and the Jacksons was very different in 1983, when Rev. Jackson organized a nationwide boycott. . . ."

I'm not surprised that the Fox story died of its own (lack of) weight.

Human beings aren't necessarily "true to seed" and I don't suppose Yusef has any more in common with his dad than Neil Bush has with his: filthy lucre being what motivates both.

Answer 3

Sounds like he made them an offer they couldn't refuse.

Answer 4
