Earlier today (Dec 10) the Rev. Jesse Jackson was speaking about Nelson Mandela and the civil rights movement. He said the people in the US freed Mandela, Mandela did not free the US.

Jesse went on to speak about segregation and what happened in the US regarding the skin apartheid, because Mandela was in jail when the civil rights movement was happening in US. – Jackson goes on the credit Martin Luther King Jr. and the African-American civil rights movement, which led Mandela to follow the United States lead for his people in South Africa.

Jackson, who is very versed in the Civil Rights Movement for African-American went on to say that we won the apartheid battle against skin apartheid, the surface level, for the right to vote, although the apartheid remains. Even though African American’s were able to put and end to end racial segregation and discrimination  and enforce constitutional voting rights for black people there still remains the apartheid gaps in poverty and health care and education.

Today Jesse Jackson aired his views and opinion of the African-American Civil Rights Movement and Apatheid. The African-American  civil rights activist and Baptist minister voiced his thoughts about  the apartheid battle against skin apartheid, which may be offensive to some, but most should understand what he meant by his comments and views regarding the African-American Civil Rights Movement in America and Nelson Mandela vs. Martin Luther King Jr.
