| Jesse Jackson Speaks On Obama, Race, and the N-word | |
| Civil rights activist addresses his controversial off-air remarks about the senator and explains why he's still relevant | |
| By Cynthia Gordy and Tatsha Robertson | |
More than a month has passed since the Reverend Jesse Jackson uttered remarks about Senator Barack Obama "talking down to Black people"
and "telling n-s how to behave." The comments, picked up by a microphone during a break for a Fox News interview, prompted critics to dismiss
the civil rights activist and two-time U.S. presidential candidate as a relic from the past. In a candid conversation with ESSENCE editors Tatsha
Robertson and Cynthia Gordy, Jackson responds to the backlash and explains why he thinks he's just as relevant as ever.
