Are we about done with these stories? I know it’s about Jesse Jackson, and it would tickle me to see him have his entire career come crashing down around him at the end of his life, but I’m sorta getting tired of women suddenly realizing that it’s time to come forward with something they weren’t all that compelled to make a big deal over when it happened.
This is more like a fad now than it is correcting serious sexual battery.
“I walked toward Jackson, smiling, and he smiled back at me,” Young wrote. “His eyes scanned my entire body. All of a sudden, I felt naked in my sweater and jeans. As I walked within arm’s reach of him, Jackson reached out a hand and grabbed my thigh, saying, ‘I like all of that right there!’ and gave my thigh a tight squeeze.”
The reporter said she was too shocked to react and giggled uncomfortably as he “pulled me closer,” while her co-worker took photos of them. She described herself as feeling “deflated” after she was finally able to pull away from the man she once admired who “marched alongside Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.”
She also said that film director John Singleton sexually harassed her:
More recently, Young attended the American Black Film Festival to interview Singleton — an Academy Award-nominated director — and the cast of his show “Snowfall.” At the end of her on-camera dialogue with Singleton, Young said she approached him to retrieve her microphone and that he grabbed her by the wrist, drawing her nearer, and said, “Bring that juiciness over here.”
Young claims that the act of pulling her closer caused her to fall forward and brace her hands against his thighs. She wrote that he then kissed her on the cheek before she had a chance to stand back up. She then agreed to take a picture with him to not “make it awkward,” and said he clutched her around the waist and pulled her into him, saying, “Oooh, I’m gonna grab on tight to you.”
Again, Young noted that a colleague corroborated her account of the incident. “Did you see that?” she said she asked another woman in the room.
” ‘Yeah, girl,’ she said the woman replied. ‘I heard he likes big girls.’ The woman was also ‘of size,’ and told me that when she went to take a selfie with him, he kissed her on the cheek and said, ‘I love your face! It’s so soft. I want to feel your cheek on my cheek.’ ”
I’m not minimizing what this lady is claiming (ya, maybe I am), but I think from this day forward, all men should stand a foot or two part from any women they are taking a picture with.
I think the trouble started when it became fashionable to take pictures with celebrities with their arms around a woman’s waist and their faces pressed up near each other. Why is this a thing? What does this mean, that the two strangers are intimate friends, like maybe their getting busy with each other?
I wonder how many sexual harassment claims are made by female celebrities who take pictures with the average shlub. Are they groping the starlets?
It would be better if larry the liberal lesbian faggot transgender would make the accusation.
Sorry, don’t believe black stories anymore.
Credibility: 0
They didn’t get Chuck Todd yet, give it more time. 😉

Me too. Or is it #metoo /s
The attention-getting hysteria is just getting more desperate.
Liberals are media whores, that’s for sure.
I can not imagine ANY female, male not animal, having to tolerate JJ’s advances.
It’s old news that this POS has had all kinds on extramarital affairs and even has bastard children.
Why is this current stuff any surprise?
Sounds more like the Wrong Reverend to me.
When the first “victim” is killed in a prison shanking, which occurs as part of her conviction exclusively for making a false accusation, then I’ll be willing to begin discussing tamping this hysteria down.
Some black women are especially bad about purposefully dressing for this result. The men take that as a license to misbehave.
We’ve moved from Hollywood to Politics now, and this will all be crap if the Penalty is less Severe for the Politician’s !
I didn’t know “women of size” meant they had overly large vaginas, but I guess they gotta put dat Juicy black pudding somewhere.
I would had expected a man would be complaining not a female
The threshold for Jesse Jackson is much higher. Offspring must be involved.
Jesse Jackson is a known skirt chasing cheat and con. No big deal. Any attractive woman with a decent reputation knows not to get near him. This particular account sounds like a woman desperate for attention.
Not to unjustify her, but that is one hell of a reporter!
Of course I’m being sarcastic!
Selma…………all is forgiven.
After all he is black
Jesse Jackson was heard to confute his accuser: “Mmmph uhh shum-dally wop do wop f’shizzle dowg duh mmmmfff mumbai ffonis!” only in rhyme.
