Rev.Jesse Jackson says Phil Robertson WORSE than bus driver who kicked Rosa Parks off

Phil Robertson's homophobic comments to GQ were MORE OFFENSIVE than the words uttered by bus driver who tried to force Rosa Parks to sit on the back of his bus in 1955 ... so says civil rights leader Jesse Jackson.


Jackson came out firing against the "Duck Dynasty" star this week ... explaining, "These statements uttered by Robertson are more offensive than the bus driver in Montgomery, Alabama, more than 59 years ago."

"At least the bus driver, who ordered Rosa Parks to surrender her seat to a white person, was following state law. Robertson’s statements were uttered freely and openly without cover of the law, within a context of what he seemed to believe was 'white privilege.'"


Jackson is demanding a meeting with A&E and Cracker Barrel execs ... and even issued a Friday deadline ... urging the network to uphold Robertson’s suspension from the reality show.

Unclear if the network plans to honor Jackson's demand

This is the kind of shit from liberals the really drives me up a wall. This guy is one of the worst race baiters in our country, responsible for sewing the seeds of racial hatred across the country, and turning otherwise innocuous situations into powder kegs. Just look at what he did to stoke the fire of discontent in Florida following the Trayvon Martin shooting, where the victim George Zimmermann was found innocent, meaning that he acted lawfully in self-defense. It's people like Jesse Jackson whose sole goal is to obfuscate the issues so as to fit his own liberal agenda and narrow world view.

He feels like he can "DEMAND" a meeting with A&E executives, who the hell is he? Other than a racist bigot who claims to be a leader. He is no one of any importance, and to think that he wants to go out of his way, to make sure someone who expressed their own personal beliefs based on their religion and the way they were raised, does not get his job back, is truly pathetic. He wants to exert his influence that he wields based on being able incite his minority into a firestorm, and essentially hold the network hostage to do what he wants or face the consequences, likely either publicly defaming and slandering A&E, or trying to get the black minority to boycott the network or its sponsors, although I doubt that that particular demographic watches Duck Dynasty..... Opinions folks?

I just googled this rose parks. She broke the law with her actions so how is that worse than a guy voicing his beliefs with in the restraints of the law? People of all races have the same right to open up there mouths and speak as much shittt as they like.

Calling them losers was a lot more politically correct that what I was going to call them.

Whenever I hear the name Sharpton all I can think about is the "Tawana Brawley" debacle that he was so instrumental in....

My friendships traverse culture and race. The younger generation will PRIVATELY share the older generation like rev Al's and Jesse only exist to promote the racial divide that made them wealthy. An interesting perspective.

Jessie Jackson is still alive? Who knew. I'd take these comments more seriously if they came from this guy...

Flippin hell I can't stand Rev Al!!!

The Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton crowd, the race baiting race hustlers always need to make an enemy or they are out of business. Much like the boy who cried wolf, they have been called these as they were not to many times so it has moved to this. Phil R talked about living in harmony with black Americans working on the farm so they are attempting to say Phil meant Jim crow laws were good. What a bunch of idiots attempting to mess up his words like this.

They need to convince people that they are victims and that everyone wants to discriminate against them and that it will happen...unless you vote democrat.
