Jackson was born in 1965, just months before President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, which forced election changes that opened up the political process for African-Americans in the United States.

They all going into getting a reverants title so they can cheat the poor people out of their money and they don't have to pay tax'es on that money. Just a bunch of lazy crooks. Like father like son.
Democrat corruption at its best and always pointing fingers at Republicans. Democrats wrote the book on how to manipulate, distort, explain away any corruption they are involved in.
