Jessie’s tactics = put a band aid on a bullet wound, and let’s have church.
Obama tactics = take the bullet out,stitch it up, and play your position.

Obama is going to the core
Jessie is going to church. He knews how to play it safe. But today, blacks want something more out of life, instead of a sermon. How can I shout on a empty stomach, I’m just saying.

#62 Judah —- Isn’t that what politics and government is about anyway shallow rhetoric? Which is why the Sharpton’s and the Jesse Jackson’s came about! So true or not why can’t the man with skin like mine get in on what white america has been doing it for centuries!!!

America is ready for a change so change has no color in this instance for some! It’s time for someone new and fresh and right now Barack in his black skin is that man!! YES WE CAN!!!

Politics is the one thing that will never change because you can’t really be a politician without making a promise that you won’t be able to keep!!!

It doesn’t matter wheather Barack is black american he is a black man by the color of his skin not the country he was born in or the parents he was born from! It’s about what the human eye sees.

If your skin is white because of bi-racial bonding (lol) and one parent is black you are asked to pick a side because your skin color causes confusion for the eye to see one thing and you to present another!! If you chose for instance the white side then people would holla that person is a fraud “they know they are black” blah blah!!

I agree with your last sentence about JJ reading off the same script…

I am not surprised in the least by Jesse comments. He is just ignorant! He needs to stop hating. I maintain that we will always be the race that continues to chop each other down. Mc Cain won’t have to say much of anything because we can count on our own people to coninue to make it even harder for Obama before November gets here. There will be more before it is all said and done. It is just sad!

@77

I guess whatever floats your boat huh? I need something a little less contrived than that. Alot less contrived actually. If you accept black leadership that you know is reading off of a script, is shallow, and is in the exact image of the race that you acknowledge is oppressing you, all you’re basically saying is that you enjoy being lied to as long as the liar looks like you. It speaks alot about the political process and the people that believe in it.

—>While Obama accepted the apology through a spokesman, his own son, Jesse Jackson Jr. publicly condemned him.

“I’m deeply outraged and disappointed in Rev. Jackson’s reckless statements,” the younger Jackson said. “I thoroughly reject and repudiate his ugly rhetoric.”

I remember seeing JJ at an event in Houston. This “preacher” had on a linen fit, with the buttons unbutton so that he chest hairs was showing, pinky rings on each pinky, and smelling like the too much cologne wearing man. It almost choked me when walked past. I was like this dude aint no preacher, he’s here macking to the broads.

Ever since then that has left a nasty taste in my mouth about him. I also remember seeing him at a couple of functions once I moved to Chicago and Barrack was there. Jesse just never seemed supportive of him AND if you listen closey to his “appology”, he kept saying how he supported the campaign and not Obama. It was like I’m all for a democrat being president and since its Obama, I dont have any other choice than to suppprt him.

MLK and Malcolm died for Obama to be in the position he’s in. They are probably rolling over in their grave. And Jesse should know that MLK wouldnt approve of this…..

Jesse’s true colors are shining through very brightly!!!

JESSIE IS JUST LIKE A CRAB IN A BUCKET!!!!! HE DIDNT DO WELL, SO HE DOESNT WANT MR. OBAMA TO DO WELL!!! WELL GUESS WHAT MR.JACKSON, BARACK OBAMA IS GOING TO WIN WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR HATING ASS!!! I HAVE LOST A LOT OF RESPECT FOR HIM SINCE THIS STATEMENT! HATERS NEVER PROSPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 2008!!!!!
BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 2008!!!!!
BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 2008!!!!!
BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 2008!!!!!
BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 2008!!!!!

What I’m saying is it doesn’t matter the color of the skin either way someone is reading off a script 99% not their own when it comes to politics . The political process wasn’t designed with me in mind Judah do you not get that?

I’m not stating that Barack is the one that will be this angel of light, but he is the one that pulled the rug from under the naysayers, the people who don’t want change, the good old boys… of course no one WANTS to be lied to but the political process would never change if the same people with the same system and the same pack of lies keep getting elected. A new pack of lies might offer another path toward change but it gives hope and JJ said it best “keep hope alive” …lol…

It’s politics the whole thing is a farce and not you nor I can change that.I’m not accepting black leadship reading from a script anymore then white that is forced upon America. It’s all green in the end so I can have my view and you can have yours and we can go at all day but the people that run the gov’t and the faces that have sat in those chairs some over 20years will be passed down for generations I’m sure Judah that isn’t changing. We can sprinkle a few ethnic faces in the mix and call it diverse if we like however, while you may not vote for rhetoric and shallowness you will live in it every day as long as government exists..

83.

Original Truth:

You’re right! Barack did pull the rub from under the naysayers!

And now, Jesse is trying to pull the rug from under Obama, but it backfired and cost him his dearly beloved son, who publicly condemned him! I’m sure this matter was not worth all that to Jesse.

@83

I do understand that the political process was not designed with you or I in mind. Evidently you don’t get that though. Now if Obama is reading off of a script, how can you say that he has pulled any rug out from underneath anyone? Does that make sense to you? The purpose of a script is so that the people who are actually in power can fabricate entire environments and scenarios and thus engender the conclusion and resolution that they want and deem most beneficial to them, and not to anyone other than just them. In the midst of all that they have to package the vessel that they choose to use in as alluring a way as possible to keep the masses bemused. Honestly, your mindset is even worse than those who honestly believe in this man and his “Change” rhetoric. How can a “new pack of lies offer another path toward change”? Do you even consider the things that you think sis? Or why you think them? Why would new lies move toward positive change?

The point is that the so-called black leadership in America is a cesspool of corruption that is no more upright than the caucasian leadership. Jesse Jackson spoke his mind out of jealousy at the POSITION that Obama is in, not out of jealousy of Obama. Jesse knows how this system works and what it takes to be chosen by the people in power. He’s irate that after all the lies and misdirection that he’s been involved in to assist the people in power in keeping black people in darkness, that he will not get the glory. That’s what is it’s about with these negroes. The fame and the acceptance of white people.

Yes this is politics. But the reason we are in th state we are is because the “good ol boys” are devils. And the change we are looking for is someone with a soul. Something blacks are born with and whites are not. Sorry… Why try and do something that is not in your nature?

everybody knows he’s only apologizing because it became public…..and if this were a man of another race targeting barack,the first thing people would scream is RACISM….so jesse HOLIER THAN THOU really needs to think before he speaks and stop being a big baby because he didnt get as far as barack…

@86

I don’t agree that white people don’t have a soul. They have souls, it is just that their souls are naturally perverse which is why they pervert everything and everyone (including the black leaders that they set up) they come in contact with (Prov 12:26).

I agree with Jesse somewhat. There are more things to discuss about our community than it’s problems. Everyone wants to discuss the black community. It seems like Obama is jumping on the band wagon. I expect more from him.

#85 Because scripts can be re-written Judah it’s proved thru protests and laws being re-written because of protests because someone caused a ruckus. You re-write as you go along isn’t that how it’s done inpolitics until someone finds another clause or addendum to a clause that states different…

I think you dream in black and white and shades of grey…. I’m not trying to be right and I’m not saying you are wrong but in politics thats all you are going to get is new lies diverting your attention from an old lie or another pack of lies that is what makes sense to me. In politics you have to lie to get people to do what you want, to get what you want however, they call it favors which is the reality of it so yes that makes sense to me….

People have hopes and dreams it creates new energy that’s all we can have and yes that’s why it makes sense to me….

I used te pack of lies comment because that is what you understood from the originally response to my comment.

#88 Judah I agree 100% with that!

I’m done using CL’s venue for this discussion… it was interesting Judah…. I’m sure we will disagree in the future….

aaah excuse the spelling and grammatical errors time to go home!!

Now why would he say something so ridiculous in the presence of Fox News reporters, and then be shocked, SHOCKED, that it was made public?

I think i’m just disappointed, given the history of the lynching of black folks in this country, that Mr. Civil Rights Activist would say something so crazy.

This is a perfect simile of “crabs in the barrell” and “eating our own” syndrome. Jessie is not the only one that has not been critical on Obama. For heaven sakes, he is half black and half white! He is going to have to appeal to both!!! When the Rev Wright situation comes up…he’s too militant, he’s too black, then when he leans towards his whiteness….he’s being too white!!!!

I am tired of him and Al Sharpton both trying to speak for black people. As most of our CL peeps and other’s have come to the conclusion that Jessie Jackson’s issues are most likely attributed to jealousy and the fact that he won’t be the first black nominee of the DNC/President. As other’s said, instead of getting behind Obama to show professional and historical leadership and sincerity, he could use his position to make sure Obama privately has African Americans/Black issues at heart, instead of making a “media whore” out himself for the sake of publicity. I am glad that JJ Jr. Spoke out against his father…If Dr. King were alive today, he would be ashamed of Jackson’s moral stance…..btw….Isn’t this the same Jessie Jackson who fathered a child out of wedlock while married? An Audacity of NOPE…To someone who should “not throw stones at glass houses”. STFU AL AND JESSIE!!!

this is why i wont git rid of the word NIGGA for shit like this,,,, he is so … his ass got lot of nerve he shud cut his nuts off for malking that baby out of wedlock while he was married what a dumb NIGGA lololol

Jesse Jackson should be sorry.

A black man (or half-black man if you want to look at it that way) can’t talk about the struggles and missteps of other Blacks but neither can White people. So exaclty who has the right to talk about “our” issues? Certainly not preachers and reverends because they’re just pulpit pimps and certainly not educated Blacks because they’re only doing so because they think they’re ‘better’ than regla Black folk. smh. I am really about sick of this whole “We shouldn’t air our dirty laundry” crap. NEWSFLASH: If your drawers weren’t dirty you wouldn’t have to worry about hiding them or preventing them from getting aired out.

For all of the people that think that Obama can’t produce change, tell me who can? And let’s not pontificate about what the Bible says because clearly everyone doesn’t follow the same Bible or interpret it the same way. And even those who follow the Bible can’t get on the same page because Old Testament folks think they know more than New Tetament folks. smh again.

Is it better to remain stagnant and stay with the status quo because change doesn’t come in the package you’d like for it to come in? I’m not even that big of an Obama supporter but I can’t for the life of me figure out why this man has been so crucified because of his color. Should he be darker? Should his hair be a little thicker. If he looked more like Pookie on the corner would that make him more relatable?

Jesse, like Al, is an opportunist who has become skillfiul in using the media to degrade unintelligent and uniformed Blacks under the guise of uplifting them. Jesse is jealous and it’s evident. It’s just sad that at a time when there are so few Blacks in office or in other prominent political positions, there can’t be some sort of solidarity. No, everyone will not fight for the same cause or settle on the same issues. But why implode? Why create divisiveness when there isn’t even strength in numbers as it is. This is just plain old sad.

some one needs to send the secret service on a mission and annihilate J.J.

and not to forget that he hard child out of wedlock.i never see him as a leader for ones.

WELL IM NOT SURPRISED AT THIS AT ALL ITS ALWAYS GONNA BE SOMEONE THAT HAVE SUMTHING TO SAY BOUT OBAMA ITS NOT GONNA STOP BECAUSE THE MORE U PROGRESS THE MORE PEOPLE HATE U .WOW JESSE JACKSON SHOULD HAVE KEPT THAT TO HIS SELF I WOULD NOT HAVE SAID NO SHIT LIKE THAT WELL AT LEAST HE APOLOGIZE FOR IT

Hey guys he’s SORRY Dang y’all worst than the white media. You folks pointing the finger at Jackson should see how awful you are. He without sins cast the first stone….nuff said

I personally dont think he shouldve apologized like that.Hes entitle to his opinion and I certainly am not under some fantasy that all blacks have to agree with Obama because hes black. Im pro-Obama all the way but I have my own opinion and if he says something I dont like Im gonna express it.

I feel if Jesse had beef thats fine then he shouldve spoken with Obama afterwards first aired it out and then came to some sort of understanding instead of fronting for the media .I then wouldve dealt with Fox News for recording my private conversation and then replaying it.

If you a man be a man even if no one agrees with you ,Dont let yourself get reduced to some cliche.

101.

chitown-ken said: “Hes entitle to his opinion…”

Sorry my friend, but “Jesse wanting to cut Obamas nuts off” is not an opinion…it’s a boardline threat from the most wicked and evil part of a human. It’s embarassing that women have to listen to such talk. He should not only apologize to Obama and Michelle, but he should apologize to women as well.

No one minds that Jesse challenges Obama or any other black man on the issues. Being a black man does not exempt Obama other views. But, If Jesse would have only said, “he talks down to black people”, this would have been a none issue. “Cutting off his nuts” crossed the line. He went from converse to traverse!

I hope he has strong support, because his own son has written him off. This is one time that Jesse wishes that he had kept his big lips shut! Jesse is at his worst hour.

I am sure this has been menion but I just want to reiterate that Jackson, the old civil right guards & the rest of the poverty pimps of America are really upset that history is being made in front of their eyes and THEY ARE NOT APART OF IT. Unlike Clinton run in the 90’s, Jackson is not an advisor to Obama. None of the old guard have absolutely no say in this history making moment. When it’s all said and done, no one can interview them as being part of the process of Obama’s success.

THE OLD GUARD IS JEALOUS CAUSE THEY CANNOT TAKE CREDIT FOR OBAMA’S SUCCESS!!!!!

JUDAH #62 Said: “Jackson understands that Obama; as an African, is not black and he cares not at all for the black people of America.”

Judah, sit your menstruating ass down already and stop bitching. Being insecure about real black men will not change the fact that you’re an emotional little pussy. Anyone remember when this moron was saying that “the blacks and the hispanics” are one people, then turns around to talk shit about hispanics when their true colors were exposed? Anyone who thinks that African Americans are, or can ever be “blacker” than an African is clearly mentally unstable. Stop being jealous of Africans and focus on simple things. Like learning to respect your own women, for example. Cofused, dumb ass slave.

To make it CLEAR I dis like Jessie Jackson and I am not a supporter of Obama. Both I believe will say anything or What is popular at the time to further their career. When Jessie Jackson, Al sharpton, and Shirley Chishom ran for President, it was for show. Neither really wanted to win. Thats fact. Obama is a Serious hopeful. Obama really wants to be the President, but not just for black people, or to change things( people who are not the president change things everyday) The black leaders of the community are seeing what a lot of black people will see the closer we get to November. Obama is for all people. Not just the African American. If he is elected( doubtful) he can not go out and say ” ok today for black people I want to do this” Simple not pulsible in this day in age when discrimantion is more likely based on economic class and not race. ( most often) Lets be clear and I have said this before. Obama cant Identify with the same issues as Jessie Jackson and his peers. These to men know each other and run in the same crowd. I like the fact Jessie was cool with all the bloggers during Jena 6 but now since he called out Obama on the issue ( same thing that happen to Bush and his not attending the 2004 NCAAP fun raiser). People have to understand that four years ago this Jena 6 would have been on the top of Obama’s list. You can get mad at the pot calling the kettle black, they know each other, it’s allowed.

JESSE JACKSON JUST A PLAYA HATA!!!!!

Jesse Jackson needs the rest of his tongue cut out….obviously part of it is already missing!

LMAO!! oK…I’LL BE SERIOUS NOW.

First of all, I just think Jesse Jackson was personally offended by Obama’s Father’s Day remarks in Chicago, when he was talking about men, specifically black men, spreading their seed irresponsibly and not fathering their children. And, you know The Rev. Jackson has like 22 children, so he just takes it personal…

Obama wasn’t talking DOWN to black folks…he was talking TO us. aND, THOSE ARE THE REMARKS OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS TO HEAR. Folks like Jesse are the same damn black folks who got mad at Bill Cosby for his rants about the dire state of black americans. People need a reality check. Keep Preaching, Obama!!! Because, obviously, Jesse Jackson ain’t preaching it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Najee Ali tore into Jesse on another blog stating that J.J. was salty w/Obama b/c of the Father’s Day speech. Anyone offended by Obama’s speech must’ve been affected by it. J.J. is not taking care of the daughter he fathered outside his marriage. Someone else on the blog wrote, “They smile in your face (Jesse is SUPPOSEDLY an Obama supporter), all the time they want to take your place, the backstabbers, BACKSTABBERS! - The O’jays. So true, so true.

P.S. I know permed up Al is probably somewhere going, “Whew, I’m glad it wasn’t me!”

Barack was at a predominately black church when he gave the Father’s Day speech, thus he was talking to black people (did anyone read or hear the whole speech he gave?) He also gave men props who take full care of their children. If his audience were women, he would be addressing his core audience . He wouldn’t be talking to men, would he? What he said on that day was totally appropriate the ones that his speech didn’t pertain to didn’t get insulted. The ones that got mad are the ones that needed to hear it.

@southernbella

ok History Lesson, Martin Luther King died because some white man decided to end his life. El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz ( who you people refer to as Malcolm X) died because he changed his views to that which is more in line with Dr King. I know the education we recieved in school would allow us to believe he died yell by any mean necessary. Which is far from the truth. Most of his latter speaches speak of pease.
And one can not say what someone would or would not support. It wouls suprise all of you to know that Rosa Parks and the NCAAP did not start what we know as the civil right movment. The Freedom Riders did. read you history. Dwight Eisenhower adminstation ( not John Kennedy ) started to progessively intergrate America. Dr King was not a strong supporter of Kennedy in his early stages as President. Mostly because it took so long for Ole John to get around to some of the things he said he was going to do for the black people who helped him get elected( boy that history and repeat go hand and hand) To make a long lesson short, Saying those two leaders died so Obama could be in a position is a little extreme when you think about it. Alot of good people died during those times. and I’m sure that it had nothing to do with Obama runing for President.

I feel like singing Rihanna’s Take a Bow;
“You look so dumb right now…Don’t you say your sorry cause your not. When your only sorry that you got caught…You put on quite a show, very entertaining!!!!!!!”

What a loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^^LOL!!!

Jesse Jackson has always been a mean spirited cowardly,small minded and petty person,going all the way back to the days when Martin Luther King was shot at that motel.When the gunshots rang out Jackson ran and hid.But when the press showed up he lied and said that King died in his brave arms.Jesse Jackson paid a huge price for those shady actions.Because black America never trusted him after that and the Democratic party never let him into their inner circle and treated him like an outsider. That`s the real reason behind his ignorant comments about Obama.Jesse Jackson is angry and resentful of how the Democratic party has treated Obama like the moral hero that he always desired and wanted to be and how they have accepted Obama into their inner circle with open arms and in the meantime treat him like a outsider because of his shady actions on the day of King`s assassination,Obama`s sermon aimed at the black community is just an excuse for Jackson to vent all the bottled up anger, rage and resentment that he has for failing to become the next M.L.King

nobody cares about him having an opinion,its the point that he expressed his opinion..who actually threatens somebody like that and then is SUPPOSED to be a leader.get the fk outta here

Jesse Jackson’s comments not only were not becoming of a reverand, but were clearly hate filled and stemming from a place of jealousy. As always Obama has taken the high road. I am so glad Jesse got caught. Things done in darkness always come to light.

Damn Jesse, you want me to pour you a little more hateraid?!?

Jesse Jackson’s remarks make him out to be nothing but a coon to me. It’s not a matter of jealousy it’s just hate, plain and simple. I’m so tired of high-calibre blacks tearing their kin apart when we all should be working as one to build legacies. Maybe Obama changes his approach when addressing to Black folks ’cause he realizes just how ignorant a lot of us are. Ya’ll know it’s true!

Exactly @ # 2.

The whole comment was just irrelevant.
That’s a shame.

uuummm yeahh…
everybody trying bring Obama down!
Haters!

Run Jesse Run!!!!!………Your butt back home and watch this playout on tv. I don’t wanna see your face until Inaguration Day.

Jesse sounds like he and Bob Johnson are brunching together. It’s ashame too. Barack is doing his thing in his own arena. He wasn’t coming to Rainbow Coalitions meetings trying to steer the agenda. He didn’t try and program the play log at BET.

He’s running for PRESIDENT of every citizen of the United States. Not just black people. My concern is that these two great (but sometimes foolish) black men fail to understand the significance of this election. Spike Lee said it best. ” They will have to judge time by before Obama and after Obama.” This is that significant. This will change the world. THE WORLD JESSE!!!! That will change how the world looks at America and oh by the way, how they look at BLACK PEOPLE!!!!!!!

That’s talking up and moving up black people. Big ups.

Obama boombiyah!!!

Boombiyah ignorance
Boombiyah jealousy
Boombiyah envy
Boombuyah Willie Lynch, crab mentality and stereotypes of black men!!!!!

Obama 2008/2012

Like everyone before said he is sorry because he got caught. My respect for Jesse went away when he had a baby on his wife so this don’t shock me.

Fox News are really assholes…Nas’ Sly Fox is right on point…we all say things behind the scenes that we don’t dwell on…yea he might feel that way but he’s not going to go around shouting it…that’s f’d up man

GONE KAREN. Your comment is on target. We could almost close the post with your comment. We always talk about white folk being jealous of Obama, lets look at some of our own people. Internalized racism is one of our greatest foes. We ask, “Is he black enough?” “Oh she’s too light.” “Oh she think she’s cute….” “Oh, Obama can’t understand the black experience.” When are we going to start being successful on our own merits, and stop trying to pull down the man or woman who is running the race.

Hope you’re happy Jesse…instead of remembering the good you did for the black community, people will probably remember you more for your infidelity and ignorant comments…what a legacy indeed.

Fox news should be ashamed of themselves. FAIR and BALANCE. THis was all out effort to embarrass Barack Obama and his presidential bid. THIS WAS DONE ON PURPOSE by FOX NEWS. They should have taken the high road and never released those tapes. He was off the records and everyone knows that FOX and its so called conservative values, support Republican’s and their bids for office. THAT pathetic news show will do everything possible to allow McCAIN to win the presidential election. Black journalist should boycott that station and black democratic strategists should refused to commentate on Fox news shows. Jesse Jackson has a right to speak his mind; he has earned that right, less we forget what he has done for the AA community. It is okay for blacks to disagree for we are human. Surely, we will not support every decision Barack will make when he becomes president. You can bet your black ass*es that he will do what will be best for the majority and not just a black president. You people are in for a sad awakening if you think he will support all things black. Nope. for success he will first have to be an American and support all things American and not threatened the white status quo. However, we should vote Obama because our middle class standings will continue to falter at the hands of the rich majority if McCAin is elected.

I have to laugh at the fools wanting to blame FOX News for Jesse’s nonsense. Like they pulled the strings on his back to make those words come out of his mouth? If it was some Republican on CNN I guess it would have been CNNs fault too? Jesse ain’t sorry, just sorry he got caught…like most people realize. He hasn’t been relevant for a long time…if ever. Barack said what needed to be said. We have to stand up and take responsibility for our own communities. Don’t agree with him on much else, but on that, he’s right.

DAMN, DAMN, DAMN JESSE!

@129, HELLO
You are doing exactly what they want from you. Instead of respecting Jesse Jackson as a black man, whose values and approach to correcting the problems in the black community differs from Barack, we want to be angry at Jesse because he dares to question Barack. If you think for one second that Jesse Jackson doesnt love the Black community, you are delusional. As a professional african american, we talk differently with our people when we are making a point than we would with other white professionals. Analogy: what a baller would say to another player would not be what he would say to the media. It would be wrong of the media, to put a microphone in a locker room and listen to a private conversation between teammates. That conversation was meant to be private. FOX WAS WRONG!!!!!
DIFFERENT POINT: Barack’s speech was equivalent to what Bill Cosby has said time and time again. Black folks need to be pulling themselves up by the boot strings, but Barack saying this is okay but Cosby’s message was not well received. Fox news deserved to take blame in their part of this. It was well constructed by them.

knowone needs their nu** more than obama needs his right now and over the 4 years and jesse wanna cut um’ off!

People blaming FOX is exactly what is wrong with black people. BLAME, BLAME, BLAME, BLAME and never take responsibility. WHO forced Jesse to talk about castrating Obama? NOBODY. This man is a hypocrit and that’s not FOX’s fault that he is. If he was so honest he would have never BEEN trapped in the first place. What makes it even more RIDICULOUS is that HE KNOWS good and well more than the average black folk that FOX isn’t “on our side”, so if there’s ONE place where he should have said this, it HAD to be on FOX! What a FOOL!

I had a conversation on the phone one day with an acquaintance that I appreciated, and during our conversation, she “innocently” asked me how I felt about so and so (2 guys I was cool with), and mind you the 2 guys she asked me about were in the room and were listening to the conversation cause she had put the loudspeaker on. HAD I BEEN A HYPOCRITE I would have talked shit about them, but because I’m honest I wasn’t “CAUGHT” or “TRAPPED” talking shit. No, I didn’t appreciate what they did, BUT the bottomline is if I had talked shit I wouldn’t blame them for it cause I wouldn’t have been forced to do it!

Jesse is proof that BITCHASSNESS really has no gender and no age.

BIG UP, TO ALL MY HATERS!!!!!!!

@ 110. Yea, Whatever
“Obama wasn’t talking DOWN to black folks…he was talking TO us. aND, THOSE ARE THE REMARKS OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS TO HEAR. Folks like Jesse are the same damn black folks who got mad at Bill Cosby for his rants about the dire state of black americans. People need a reality check. Keep Preaching, Obama!!! Because, obviously, Jesse Jackson ain’t preaching it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

^^^^ Preach on it! People ain’t ready for the truth. If they were, they would take the time to listen, instead of attacking and barking. Tell black folks “de white mon is de devil” and they will praise you, but tell them to get their sh*t together and they will wanna cut you. Everytime you tell this community about our flaws, “you’re trying to appeal to the man”. WE KNOW our history, WE KNOW some of our problems comes from the past, but when are some of us F*CKING GONNA DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? I can’t stand people who complain about a situation, blame everyone but themselves, and don’t do ANYTHING to change it. If you ain’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem!

Nobody ever “stopped me” and it’s not gonna happen anytime soon. Many tried and tried, but a way was always made for me. Maybe “The Man” is God to you, but he’s NEVER been to me. Split the chains in your mind and the rest will follow. Gotdammit!

He is a cool man. we all love him. there are so many fans of him. and they set up the groups related to stars. you can even check out his sexy and beautiful photos, videos and blogs on the wealthy dating club R I C H L O V I N G.C O M for hot singles to hook up for Hot Love and Sexy Dating.

LOL @ this whole thing.

I’m so sick of black folk acting like Obama talked down to them about fatherhood. It is amazing that white folk call your black children illegitimate bastards through statistics, academic research, and all the other forms of politically correct language. White folk just find sociology terms to tell you that fathers not being present in the home is part of the problem, but we will not accept the call for personal responsibility from Obama? What sort of self-hating foolishness is this?

@138 UNRBANCHIC, well said!! TELL THEM!! That’s hypocrisy at its finest.

Someone should have yanked Jesse’s nuts off that way he wouldnt have fathered a child outside of his marriage!!! Ouch, that hurt!

Dayum! Judah is one deep brotha! LOL….I completely agree w/ everything that you’ve posted!

Hey Yeah, Okay
Thanks for the support, wisdom and helping us see the light to place blame where it belongs…not with any news organization or white man, but with the individual!

THIS IS A OBVIOUS CASE OF JESSE HATIN ON OBAMA SIMPLY FOR THE FACT THAT YEARS AGO WHEN HE RAN FOR THIS SAME OFFICE, THERE WAS NO REAL BUZZ OR EXCITMENT FOR HIM….HE DIDN’T GARNER THIS TYPE OF SUPPORT, AND WHEN HE MAKES STATEMENTS SUCH AS THIS, JUST PROVES HIS CHARACTER. DAMN SHAME HE HAD TO GO THERE…MEDIA HOGS HATE IT WHEN SOME OF THEIR LIMELIGHT DIMS AND SHINES ON ANOTHER

ADVICE TO JESSE: MAYBE IF YOU SPENT MORE TIME ON THE ACTUALLY ISSUES AND GETTING THINGS ACCOMPLISHED AS OPPOSED TO WRITING SPEECHES THAT RHYME, THEN PERHAPS PEOPLE WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IN YOUR ABILITIES MORE….INSTEAD, YOU PROVED TO BE A MEDIA HOG, YOU AND AL SHARPTON…I THINK IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS FOR PASSION OF THE ISSUES, NOW IT’S JUST TO STAY RELEVANT….TRUE MOTIVES ARE ALWAYS ALWAYS AT SOME POINT EXPOSED. GET YOUR GAME TOGETHER AND STOP HATIN ON ANOTHER BROTHER BECAUSE HE CAME CORRECT.

OBAMA 08!

You KNOW you are WRONG when your own son denounces your comentary!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY GODD PEOPLE!

@JUDAH

WHAT MAKES JESSE’S STATEMENTS TRUE, CAUSE YOU BELIEVE IT? YOU SPEAK SOME TRUTH, BUT ALWAYS IN YOUR STATEMENTS ARE HINTS OF PREJUDICE AND DISTAIN FOR THINGS NOT BLACK….YOU SEEM TO THINK ANYBODY NON-BLACK ALWAYS GOT A SECRET HIDDEN AGENDA, AND THAT’S THE DOWN GRADE THE BLACK RACE….

I’VE NEVER SEEN WHERE OBAMA HAS TALKED DOWN TO ANYONE, INSTEAD HE ADDRESSES ISSUES WITH TOPPING THEM WITH SUGAR AS MOST PEOPLE ARE USE TO…BLACK PEOPLE IN PARTICULAR HATE WHEN YOU POINT OUT THEIR ISSUES, WHY, CAUSE THEY ARE NOT WILLING OR READY TO EITHER RECOGNIZE THEM OR WORK ON THEM. THIS SAME TYPE OF REACTION IS WHAT BILL COSBY GOT WHEN HE SPOKE THE TRUTH, UNADULTERATED….INSTEAD OF LISTENING AND TAKING IT TO HEART, BLACK PEOPLE BECAME OFFENDED WHEN THESE VERY REAL ISSUES WERE PRESENTED TO THEM WITHOUT A SUGAR COATING. THE FACT IS, WE ALL KNOW WHAT ARE ISSUES ARE, AND WE AREN’T READY TO DEAL WITH THEM…IT’S MUCH EASIER TO CONTINUALLY BLAME OTHER PEOPLE AND OTHER RACES FOR SHIT WE CAN SIMPLY DEAL WITH, ERRADICATE, CORRECT, SET STRAIGHT, AND MAKE RIGHT OURSELVES…..WE REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OR OWN SOME OF OUR PROBLEMS….AND UNTIL THIS HAPPENS, WE WILL NOT MOVE, WE WILL STAY IN THIS VERY SAME SPOT FOR YEARS AND CENTURIES TO COME.

OBAMA ADDRESSING OUR ISSUES IS WHAT WE NEED….BILL COSBY TELLIN IT LIKE IT IS, IS WHAT WE NEED….WHAT WE DON’T NEED IS PEOPLE PLAYING THE BLAME GAME…STOP IT, IT’S A NEW DAY, NEW ERA..

CALM DOWN PPL
goodness. you ppl act like you’ve never said anything negative about anyone behind their back. honestly i’ve never liked jesse anyway so maybe that’s why i’m not upset. i think the only bad thing is that he caught. aside from that, he’s allowed to feel whatever he feels. he doesn’t have to love barack just b/c barack has a chance at the presidency. at the end of the day, he’s supporting barack anyway so whether he likes him or not is irrelevant. i bet most of u have even said negative things about some of your friends behind their backs. doesn’t mean you don’t love them but sometimes ppl can get on your nerves. that’s life. stop being babies and deal with it. that being said, jesse was dumb to say that at that time. that type of talk is reserved for when you’re in private with someone. oh yeah and the cutting thing was a little extreme BUT i think it’s his way of speaking. it’s not like he really wants to cut obama’s nuts off

“I mean Barack’s comment about black men not taking responsibility does seem a bit patronizing. Illegitimacy and lack of fathers isn’t just a “black community” problem, all races have to deal with this as well.”
Seventy percent of black families are single parent homes without fathers as compared with 28% of white single parent families. Sure it isn’t just a black community problem but the statistics make it necessary for someone to drum up some awareness about the issue.As far as it being patronizing, how is it patronizing when the son of a black father who was abandoned speaks about an issue with which he has personal experience. Jesse Jackson was quick to throw his heritage in his face and claim that he was talking down to black people as opposed to acknowledging his first hand experience of being fatherless.

and how is it that bill cosby was saying the same things as obama but got crucified and when obama says these things, now black ppl agree.

@ RDUB, you’re welcome! If more black people had your mentality, we wouldn’t be in this sorry situation!

@ RDUB, you’re welcome! If more black people thought like you we wouldn’t be in this sorry situation!!
