“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.”

147. MSDAY’s answer : 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.

^^^^^ TELL THE TRUTH AND SHAME THE DEVIL. 70% y’all, yes all races have fatherless children, but the statistics for black people are horribly shocking. Barack Obama said what NEEDED TO BE SAID, just like Bill Cosby. If y’all ain’t ready for the truth, y’all ain’t ready for freedom and respect.

Uh HUH! Jesse got CAUGHT UP! Learn from this folks: This is why you don’t say talk bad about people! You never know who its gonna get to!

I’m kinda with # 7 on this one.. Jesse has never gotten any respect for me. Obama is SUCH an honorable man for not even addressing this one.. Obama’s probably like, “I got too much REAL business to handle than to worry about Jesse’s triflin self!”

All people need help, not just Black people. Hell…Black ppl need to help THEMSELVES first!

Good post guys!

@Ms. Mac

Whoever wants to talk about “black issues” can talk about them. Talking about “black issues” or any issues in general has nothing to do with someone sincerely wanting to reSOLVE the issue as opposed to using it to parlay himself into an advantageous position. You can air out all the dirty laundry that you want. It matters not if you don’t know how to clean them. Honestly sis, you’re frustrated because you’re trying to solve a divine issue with man’s thoughts, premises, and ideas so that you can partake in this vain unity amongst all races. It will not work. For example much is made of Obama telling these untrained, effeminized young black men to “raise their kids”. Is that his process of resolution? Is he going to end the wars in the Middle East by telling the white jews and Arabs, “Ya’ll need to stop fighting.”? If you are not addressing the cause of the psychoses and the reason behind the problem, but you still insist on addressing it, you are only doing so for vain purposes.

As far as who will produce change, the Most High and Christ have been producing change, are producing change, and will continue to produce change. You are not supposed to put your spirit into a man. If you don’t want to “pontificate” about the scriptures than that means that you must have a better plan than what the scriptures entail. You do not. The Bible tells us that in the last days the people would be in great confusion, which you admit to having (Isaiah 60:1,2). Anyone that “interprets” the Bible is “interpreting” it because they are too lazy to read it and do the corresponding research (II Pet 1:20). Anyone that differentiates between the Old Testament and the New Testament has no understanding whatsoever and does not see or know Christ at all because Moses and Christ spoke the same message (Luke 16:31, John 5:45-47, Rev 15:3).

The debate or dispute is not the package of the change, it’s whether he sincerely means to produce change. He is on record as saying that he will do what the white Israeli jews want him to do, which is continue and perpetuate the “War on Terror” if need be. This is diametrically opposed to any “change” that black people are alleging he will be the harbinger of. I haven’t seen him be crucified for his color. He’s been exalted as a so-called “new black man” and he’s being used by both the whites and many blacks as a false idol, false hope, and false Christ for black men that he cannot relate to and has no relation to. He will not stop the oncoming war with Iran and the subsequent event that will involve Russia as stipulated in Ezekiel 38th chapter.

There’s never strength in numbers if the doctrine is not strong sis. This is what black people that put their strength and pride in the American political system don’t understand and wont understand until it’s too late. These men snipe at each other because that is what they’re trained to do. If you throw one bone to 10 dogs, they will fight over the bone, they will not share it for the sake of the pack. That is the nature of a dog and that is why these false leaders are referred to as “dumb dogs” in the scriptures (Isaiah 56:10-12, Phil 3:2).
@105

You’re just all over the damn place, lol. The topic is about Jesse Jackson and you’re talking about africans, black women, and blacks and hispanics. You sound “unreal”. Let me ask you something duke, why are you studying my commentary and bringing up things that have nothing to do with the topic? Be a grown man or woman (or both) and state your issue so we can discuss it. If no one remembered what I said about blacks and hispanics, you can remind them because I’m sure you have it saved on your laptop or as your screensaver. I don’t know what it means to be “blacker” than anyone or anything else and neither do you. You could not expound on anything that you believe to be true, and if you tried, I would enjoy showing you how idiotic you are again and again. Now if you want to debate or dispute, I have no problem with that, but do it in order.

I have been following this post for like 2 days and I really want to say there are some people in here that I want to Applaud :Karen and Yeah Okay.

Other people may not agree but when I was reading yall comments I caught myself many times screaming “Aint That the truth” lol I’m not applauding just cuz I agree with yall 100% (which I do) But what yall is the TRUTH. Yea Okay said ” If y’all ain’t ready for the truth, y’all ain’t ready for freedom and respect.” Thats some seriousness right there! Not Enough people think like this, which is why WE (as a a people) will never get out of the situation we are in!

151.

yeah okay said: “…70% y’all, yes all races have fatherless children, but the statistics for black people are horribly shocking.”

No one is proud of the negative stats in black communities, but don’t assume that theres a single cause for the high rate of absent father households. Sure, some of it is because of black men who don’t take personal responsibility, but some of it is like Jesse says…”lack or opportunity to raise a family” and some of it is…in other cultures, the girls get abortions, and still some of it is due to the promiscuity of the culture or ignorance to plan parenting. There’s even the possibility that rape distorts the numbers. Certaintly, a large number of black teenage girls are getting pregnant by older men.

I don’t want to point finger at any one reason, but lets not celebrate like we know the simple answer…cause there is no simple answer. And, Obama & Cosby have chosen to attack the issue from a “deflated brother level”.

In Africa, when a man is not able to provide for his children…the child dies. In America, the child ends up in jail, high school dropout, or emproverished. But, some how, most survive. If we are to thrive, we must address all the causes, not just the ones that we are good at. Obama is a good father. But, as hard as he may try, Michael Jackson mey never be a good father. Bill Cosby was an average father, like Jesse and Martin. All three had issues!

Developing…

It’s not “blasphemous” for him to speak against Barack, but he has been vocalizing his support for the man and his campaign; so wouldn’t that be two-faced to get on a TV interview in support of the man, and then turn around and say something so evil?

Some of you young people need to check yourselves. People like Jesse Jackson paved the way for Barak Obama to run for president in the first place. No, I don’t always agree with what he has to say, but who among us is ALWAYS perfect?

Last time I checked, it was Jackson, NOT Obama was stood with King in the 60’s, so let’s not forget those who fought to make sure an Obama could successfully run for president.

@155, who gets to decide who and what a good father is? You’re not the child of either King or Jackson and judging by how their children turned out, I’d say that these 2 are excellent fathers.

Get a few more birthdays, then check back in. ALL men (and women too) have issues!

clerify: …the child in certain villages could become malnurished and die!

157.

Mrs. Not Me said: …”You’re not the child of either King or Jackson and judging by how their children turned out, I’d say that these 2 are excellent fathers.”

Well, Jesse Jr. just condemned his excellent father. And, the King children are all locked up in a ulgy court battle against each other. So you’re right, fatherhood is relative. These children all knew or know of their father’s indiscretions. They turned out about normal…given the circumstance under which they were trained.

Jesse Jackson has lost his mind… He is a total slim ball, and for him to say what he said was a totally outta line… Jesse’s son works for Obama, so what was he thinking…. His month always gets him in trouble, that’s why he didn’t win the election when he was running years back, not like anyone would vote for him….

Did you know that companies in the US have said they would hire a
white man with a felony record and no high school education BEFORE they
would hire a black man with NO criminal record and a 4-year degree?

On July 23 and July 24, CNN will premier a series, ‘Black in America with Soledad O’Brien’ and I personally challenge you to watch it WITH your children, especially your sons, if you have any, uninterrupted. The aforementioned statistics and many
others will be revealed during the series.

Bet: 3 years from now when Barack has been president, most of you self-righteous folks we’ll be screaming ” Fuck Barack, he ain’t black. Once you see the status quo will not change for blacks.
Yes, vote for Barack, but to believe that he will change the black community is delusional. To believe he will change the world is delusional. Obama’s message is simple: CHange in the black community will not come about unless we make the change. Opportunity is yours for the taking in this great state of USA. He will do what is best for middle America, so bandwagon blacks who cant stand for another black to speak bad about Obama be warned. Your time will come and Jesse’s comments will not seem so out of line. Young people, don’t be so quick to slash Jesse because it is the popular thing to do. Instead blame Fox News and that damn Bill O’Reilly.

Its funny how Bill Cosby’s name came into play in this. Bill did say most of the things that Obama is saying.The thing that I found ironic is that when Bill Cosby said it, everyone threw him under the bus. Why? The things Bill Cosby and Obama are saying have been said all along by hard working black folks all along (well some of them ex: that Dyson cat who can sit his ass down too). I do not know when we are gonna wake up and stop blaming Mr. White Folk for our problems. We all know racism still excist. Every black person experiences some form of racism every day of our lives, this is a given. Is it right, NO! I wish we lived in a world where this was not the case but this is real life and it is what it is. Are white folks on welfare, YES. Do white folks kill, YES. Do white folks steal, YES. But we cant be worried about THEM! The reason we are without is cause we are always looking over the fence at what somebody else is doing. We always “bout” to do something or “finna”. How many wealthy black people do you personally know? For that matter, how many rich black people do you know? Why not? We live in a time where if you aint riding clean or you not blinged up, you a lame. I never hate on what anyone has cause you never know how it was obtained. The missing chapter that alotta young blacks fail to see is the value of a dollar and what having work ethic really means. We want the nice homes and the nice cars but what does it take to get those things? Are you in school, have you ever stayed on a job more than 2 years? These are small questions we need to ask our youth to try and break this cycle.
I said all that to say how can you blame FOX news for airing that? They are in the business to get ratings and make money. We act like Jesse was in his house or the grocery store talking like that! The man was on set with a reporter and was talking that foolishness. He ought to know better. To sum this up, BLACK PEOPLE WE NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER AND ACCEPT SOME OF THE BLAME FOR OUR COMMUNITIES…..peace

@162 F*CK FOX NEWS

You’re right!! Obama may not change the world, but a black president in America will confirm that the world has changed. If nothing else, his presidency will be a symbolic first like Jackie Robinson, Rosa Parks and Jesse Jackson (when he freed the hostages). And, before you write Barack off, don’t forget we will have Michelle in the White House too. And, judging from the family interview, the girls are already learning how to tell him off about dropping his bag on their shoes and ish!

You know Michelle is gonna invite Oprah and Gayle nem to come and get drunk in the oval office like Jackie Onassis and Barbara Bush nem use to do. Gumbo and greens in the State Room.

Jackson,Sharpton,Obama and Cosby they can all get out my face,because these people are all so phoney and none of their hands are clean.They should all be locked in a cell.They have all traded their souls for money and are nothing but phoneys,fakes,political stans and slaves of corrupt corporations.It was corrupt corporations that bought Jackson with his ratlike whiskers his million dollar mansions in Chicago and D.C.,and Sharpton criticized corporations in the 2004 presidential campaign and said he would not take money from them and today he takes money from the very same companies that he criticized in 2004.Cosby is nothing but a old school womanizer hypocritically trying to preach to black people.Bitter because his son was killed and now he angrily takes it out on poor helpless blacks. And how many of John Kerry`s old speeches are going to come out of Obama`s big lips.The speeches are nothing but the agenda and criminal slang of corporations who rewarded Obama for his loyalty with a multimillion dollar book deal.Not bad for a guy who when he first came to Chicago from college he had holes in his shoes now Obama can sit back and count his loot with his buddy Jim Johnson,who use to work on Obama`s staff and is one of the biggest corporate thugs in the world.They are all going to be drinking Moet and smoking weed with the Devil as their soul burns slowly.

@ Aries…..thanks a lot for the support!

@ MEAT……there are different factors, I’m not disputing that because I’m aware that things aren’t so simple, I totally hear what you’re saying, but nobody’s gonna help us if we don’t help ourselves. I’ve heard far too many blacks refusing to bother doing better because “we’re bound to fail and be jailed because of the white man”. There is a system, but people who think “The Man” is God, which seems to be the mentality of most blacks, are lost.

My dad grew up extremely poor, no shoes to wear at times, nothing to eat at times, facing harsh racism, in a very very unstable home. He got an education, met and married my mom, is in a high position at a big BIG company that I won’t name, took care of all of us, he had it harder than us young black folks today but he made it. NEVER blamed “the man” and always told us he didn’t wanna hear ANYONE blame ANYBODY in his house, regardless of the SYSTEM. I was taught that “The Man” isn’t God. Did he perpetrate the things he saw around him and in his home? No, instead he broke the cycle and did the right thing, many of his friends didn’t because they blaaaamed so and so all day long and did nothing. They hated it when my father made a difference. They didn’t take care of kids, and screwed up opportunities (and YES they had a few). He lost friends because he wanted better for himself. Black people said he was”acting white” because he was educated.

Somehow we have to make the conscious decision to break the cycle instead of always giving a list of excuses, because at this point they are excuses, why? Because we’ve ALWAYS known these things. What are we gonna DO about it? Black folks don’t even WANNA HEAR about it.You can’t cure a fiend if that fiend doesn’t wanna get cured. Can’t get the crack outta his system. What Cosby and Obama said was commendable because even if the problems are a little more complicated than that, we have to start somewhere and they started somewhere. Blaming “the man” doesn’t seem to work, let’s try something else.

jesse jackson needs to stop player hating
and be proud that one of our black men has been able to ever reach that far
just a few years ago he was trying to do the same thing
and whether he knew he was still being taped or not
makes him still an idiot b/c jesse is a hyprocrite
you cant talk good about someone on camera and then talk crap behind his back
what did barack do to him?
his old news anyway he only apologized b/c he looked bad
he we have one of our own teaming up with the losers to make us look bad
im ashamed of what he said and how he reacted
you dont have to like what;s going on but you have to appreciate the effort that the man is making
and im not even into politics

166.

yeah okay–

Hats off to you and your father! He sounds like a great man. You uped the stakes of this discussion when you coined the phrase, “The Man” isn’t God. You know, the Arabs aren’t God either, but they sholl did cut down on my low ridin’! “The Man” and Obama will have the voice to make decisions that effect jobs, health care and quality of live as we know it. That’s pretty awesome!

I won’t challenge your personal experience, but I’m sure that it was uniquely blessed by God for your father only. There are millions of factors that go into your father’s success. It’s never as simple as being poor and overcoming the man. For every “father yeah okay–”, there are hundreds of “father DuRays” who can’t get it together. Everybody can’t excel in school, but we can all do something. Problem is, most of the good, high paying “do something” jobs are reserved for the decendants of former slave owners. We’ve heard this debate before, so I won’t elaborate!

I’ll just say, the solutions is never as simple as people like Cosby want to make it seem.

Meat, I’m sure there are MANY parents what would rather see their kids in court fighting each other than be in court because they were accused of a crime. You’re right, fatherhood is relative but let me spare you hurt from being delusional. NO father or mother has had a perfect life, NONE, NOT yours or mine, or anyone elses.

I believe this is what people refer to as being human.

And M-Lew, I’m with you. This stuff Obama is talking while needed, isn’t the first time we’ve heard it. Cosby was the FIRST to but the Black man on blast and he was condemed in the black community for it.

@#165 you get the gas face for your comments about Cosby’s son. you a lame for that one.

Somebody should cut Rev. balls off, oh I forgot he doesn’t have any! There probably tucked away in White America’s Asses!

Jesse and Al Sharpton are 2 of the most embarassing black men EVER….I HATE both of them. They’re extremely ignorant and make me embarassed to have even one drop of black blood in me

@ MEAT, if we changed our mindset we’d solve half the problem. My father has no superpowers, all he had was faith and strong will. And nothing happened overnight. He just dared to see things differently while everyting was chaotic around him. Why do so many black men leave school, cause many are brainwashed into thinking it’s NOT for them/they’re bound to fail/it ain’t “black”. First thing to do, change the definition of what “being black” is. “The man” decides for many things but can’t control everything, “The man” is just that, a man. A man maybe hard to fight - it may take centuries - but never invincible. A system can be destroyed. But if you already lost in your mind, it’s over. The community is doomed if we think we lost. If “The man” didn’t stop my dad, or judge Mathis, or Bill Cosby, it should tell us something. None of them were exceptional to begin with and it’s nothing “unique”, it’s just not exposed enough to us. And “luck” happens to those who fight for it.

To Jessie Jackson:

Hi Hater……Hi Hater…..

There should be no bitchassness….In the run for the White House amongest Blacks
If you are a BO hater…..You are like a crab in a bucket….Just pulling everyone around you down. Go and find your own dream and stop hating…If you had not been running around an affair on your wife and getting the women pregnant. Then not acknowledging your own child is sad. How can you Mr. Jackson speak for the blacks in this country when you have not set a good example .

If you would stop having children at the age of 64 plus maybe you could have concentrated more on your presidental run…oh ya when was that so long ago . LOL LOL

Jessie is mad that his little dream did not manifest into this reality…

Go B.O. Go !!

I agree with 173 too. My dad grew up in a single parent household in the hood and still managed to earn a degree, work for 35 yrs and is now retired. Not to mention be married to my mom for 36 years. Every doctor and every lawyer did not grow up in PleasantVille. It ought to be a personal goal to change whatever situation you are in to make it better. Bill Cosby painted a picture for us on the Cosby Show that will never be portrayed again on national television. Some people thought it was unrealistic living like the Huxtables but I beg to differ. There are still some families who beleive in eating dinner as a family at least 4 times a week, being involved in their childrens life and not taking family for granted. The problem is we need more families like these. People are saying Obama shouldn’t have had his children on TV doing that interview. Why not? Is it a crime for a black male to be seen on TV with his wife and children just because you are running to be the President of the United States of America. Knowone says anything about Bush’s crackhead daughters or any other of these rich white kids who stay in trouble. We need to support this brother cause he may be our only hope for some sort of change in this country. We dont have time for folks like Jesse Jackson to be on national TV talking the way he was about a man who is running for the same position he didnt win years ago. What we dont realize is white folks that were riding with Hiliary will vote for McCain just so a black man wont win. Now that is what I call loyalty, can we say the same for us?

This might be off topic, but I must address the phrase, “He’s not just the president of Black America.” Since we make up 12-13% of the population, this is a given. We know that, however, let me ask you all something. Why must we apologize for asking Barack, “how can you assist in making our community better?” Now, I know that Obama is not a savior and when he gets into office, he can’t fix our problems. That’s an individual choice, but how come we black folks are somehow afraid to ask about our issues. It’s as though we feel we are not worthy. Women question a politician on abortion rights and other issues pertaining to women. Gays want to know what their take is on same-sex marriages and other issues pertaining to their plight. Latinos want to know what their take is on illegal immigration, but somehow when it gets to us (blacks), we are afraid to say, “how can you help us with the various issues plaguing our communities?” Just saying.

173.

yeah okay said: “…if we changed our mindset we’d solve half the problem.”

I’m glad you said that it would solve “half the problem”. I can accept 50%, but the factors that go into a successful black man are more complicated than the quick fixes offered by Barack and Bill.

I can see…like most black women…you’re good at defending your position! I would only caution you to be open for enlightenment and inspiration. Everyone is not trying to put you into a box.

Conceding…

Jesse just personally took Barack’s comments at the black church about black men taking reponsibility for their children since he has a kid out of wedlock and probably hardly ever sees her. Ego trippin’ too.

shameful

I think some of us are being too hard on Jessie.
First off Jessie is also a baby daddy - and he may have been personnally offended by Obama’s comments on this issue.Unless you can take a walk in my shoes… And yes there may be some jealousy, which is natural, over Obama’s appeal to the masses.MLK and Malcolm may have done it from the heart,. Jessie and Sharpton may have beeen a little twisted by the ego. However no one is perfect and we should not diminish the contribution to the black race of any of these great men. I forgive Jessie for this sad misstep.

170#,You must be slow and retarded.Because your coming at me twisted and confused.I never said anything disrespectful about Cosby`s son,nor would I ever do that.So I tell you what I`m going to do,I`m going to send you a book called,The Three R`s,that will teach slow and retarded people like yourself to write,do arithmetic,and fundamentally understand the posts that you are reading,so that you won`t become confused and twist what people say.Finally there is help for slow and retarded people like yourself,you don`t have to go through life confused,talking retarded and twisting people`s words.Just dial 1 800 ThreeRs and get yourself a copy today.

jesse blew it yet again. it’s sad because at one time jesse was relevant and highly regarded in the black community. now he appears to be an old bitter and jealous man who can’t savor the strides and contributions he made when it was his “time”. Instead he begrudges the sucess of Barack, who’s time it now is.

isn’t it REVERAND JESSE JACKSON, you supposed to be for the Lord and shit(shit and lord in the same sentence, not good)and you want to cut Baracks family jewels off??? You such a hater cause you couldn’t make to the white house, You really gon shit when BARACK is president…..BARACK FOR PRESIDENT!! Oh and Jesse………THESE NUTS!!

Just one line is all I have. Jesse Jackson is very ignorant period! Stop hating, stay at home or go find a church to preach in!!! Who’s REV are you any ways. Are you paying child support and why is your wife still with you!!!!
VOTE OBAMA!!!! Young black people let your voice be heard. We are all somebody.

@ MEAT, half is already half the victory. And the other half cannot be solved without a better mindset anyway. Strategy means nothing without an effective mindset (obviously). You can’t fix sh*t with a “victim” mind frame (obviously), too many of US have. If you’ve been a fiend for 10 years and there are 25 factors that led you to this path, maybe you didn’t even willingly put that coke in your veins, but if you wanna get cured, altho factors can’t be denied, solutions and mindset and actions matter more, admitting you got a problem matters MOST. I’m not even “defending” anything, i’m merely exposing my father’s experience to tell black ppl it’s not over til we think so. I know our problems too well, I have some f*cked up relatives who refuse help cos they don’t want to help themselves, I know black men’s situation and struggles, and I’ve seen my dad’s, at least half of it, I never said EVERYTHING happened overnight and he was 100% fixed when he married mom and had us. I’ve witnessed something you seem to take for a “fairy tale” and I’m sorry you see it that way. I wish you could talk with my dad, maybe he’d tell you about change and possibilities better than I do, especially coming from where he’s from.

maybe jesse needs to suck obamas nuts…. instead of cutting them off ..hater.lol

It’s apparent to me that this was all staged and planned. Being the attention seeker that he is, Jesse wanted everyone to hear his views on Barack and what better way to do it than to team up with Fox news (the extreme right wing, racist, propagandist news outlet).

It was an agreement between the station and Rev Jesse Jackson. FOX wanted to tear Obama apart and in the process help Jackson get his views on Obama out to the nation. A Quid Pro Quo if you will.

FOX likes to let ignorant African Americans use their station as a platform to display the hate and disorganization within the Black community. This is yet another example of that.

I SINCERELY HOPE YOU ALL SEE THIS

@ 175 M-LEW, thank YOU for the love! These stories aren’t unique.

“Some people thought it was unrealistic living like the Huxtables but I beg to differ. There are still some families who beleive in eating dinner as a family at least 4 times a week, being involved in their childrens life and not taking family for granted. The problem is we need more families like these.”

Exactly, the problem is, to quote krs-1, we don’t “PUT OURSELVES in the picture”. I’ve heard the same thing about the Fresh Prince. When you have someone thinking “how can I become a Huxtable or a Banks” instead of “black people don’t live like this”, you end up being a drug-dealer-turned-judge Judge Mathis or a thug-turned-entrepreneur Steve Harvey. It’s a hard and long path, not easy at all, it starts with a different mindset. That’s all i’m saying. Let’s give ourselves more credit than that. If you don’t see yourself successful, it will never happen. Many aren’t aware of that unfortunately.

181#-AFRICAN PRINCESS-first of all, please get out your feelings! I came at you cause I thought that was a senseless thing to say about someone who has had their child murdered. I am far from slow or retarded! LOL! Here is exactly what you said, all I did was copy and paste: “Cosby is nothing but a old school womanizer hypocritically trying to preach to black people.Bitter because his son was killed and now he angrily takes it out on poor helpless blacks.”
Readers, she calls herself an “AFRICAN PRINCESS” then says a man is bitter cause his son got murdered????? How Has Bill Cosby taken is anger out on “poor, helpless” black people? That dude spat the truth and it irritated you probaly cause you have to visit Ray Ray every other Saturday or you in line for your WIC voucher! I know the truth hurts! Its cool and all luv boo boo! Stay out your feeling though when you post things. MUAH!

i dont think jesse should apologize

What kind of “Reverend” talks like that? SMH, he needs to remove “Reverend” from his name ASAP!

Jesse Jackson is a hater!!! Typical old head hating on younger heads.

Jesse and Al Sharpton are so jealous. Obama is ready to change the world, not just America. They can’t stand it..lol

If you really think about it, what JJ said is a blessing to Obama because the public will see the difference between them now, instead of making them look similar. Obama is one of kind and Jesse just proved that.

Janice #106 said: When Jessie Jackson, Al sharpton, and Shirley Chishom ran for President, it was for show. Neither really wanted to win. Thats fact.
….

If their historic bids for President was just for “show,” Obama is definitely benifitting from it. We should never forget that it takes the blood, sweat and tears of one generation to make it EASIER, not easy, for the next one. Even Barack knows that. And lets not forget how Blacks AND Whites were ready to back Colin Powell if he were to run for President. Which leads me to the belief that it’s easier for blacks that have the complexion of a Powell or Obama to actually go the furthest for such a bid in America.

Jesse needs to give it up, his time has passed. He’s just a jealous ol’ has-been, who needs to go play with the grandkids.

P.S. : I think I read “defending your situation” instead of “defending your position”…….or something……..but I didn’t read “defend your position”……..that’s why I replied “I wasn’t defending anything”……….my mistake LOL.

Some rev. Why is it that people that claim to be so holy and heaven bound are always the first to judge a person and their beliefs? This is not the first time Jackson has said some ignorant sh*t(excuse my language) to or about a person. He should read the bible again and memorize that saying “he who casts the first stone….”

Just because Jesse Jackson is black doesn’t mean he has to support Obama. Being an African American women call me crazy but I still want Hillary to win.

Seems I was totally appalled when I heard this news, and then I realized how Rev. Jesse Jackson is a strategizer do he actually make those comments to separate himself from Obamma? Jackson has always been known to be for Black Power, he is non-other than a radical!!! Jesse Jackson knows without a doubt that his was talking singling out black people in his speech, he was referring to people in general. Jesse has made negative comments about White Americans, Jews, and who knows who else, with that said, in my eyes those comments made people look at our BLACK nominee as a man not a man of color.

Nuadenda, I think you’re right on poit about that color thing (and I would know because I’m lightskinned). In fact, I’ll take it a step further and say that one reason white folks are so supporitve of Obama is because he’s half white, but this is the story no one, black or white, wants to talk about.

I have to raise the b.s. flag on all you guys that are claiming that barack is in his position because he is half white or has a lighter skin tone. are you kidding me?!? that’s is the most ignorant statement i’ve ever heard. your claims have no merit.

@ Yeah Okay, you are speaking the truth esp. in your # 188 post. You’re saying what my husband and I have talked about on numerous occasions; “It starts at home”. but its a shame that what you are saying isn’t gonna make a difference (no disrespect to you) because there are already too many that are lost. Unfortunately for some there’s no turning back because this same misguidance is passed down to the next generation. As for Jesse Jackson, i think that his leadership to a certain extent perpetuate that, that’s why I’m not one of his supporters.

Let me clarify my statement about Jesse Jackson. I think that he perpetuate the idea that “the man” is holding back the african-american community. for that i’m not a supporter of his.

@ #201,

Truly you must be uneducated and beyond the poverty level to say something as asinine as that.

Girl STOP

If anyone else is in a position to talk about irresponsible fathers it is Barack. The man speak from personal experience. I hope Barack keeps putting all deadbeat dads on blast. (Rev.) Jackson is dead wrong for the comments he made. What is it with this Boomer generation, are they so afraid to let the younger generation take over?

this is sooooo crazy

REV JESSE JACKSON: SIT YO BLACK ASS DOWN!

U JUST MAD CAUSE BARACK IS ABOUT TO BE PRESIDENT AND YO ASS AIN”T. iNSTEAD OF PUTTING DOWN A BROTHA, HOW ABOUT ENCOURAGE HIM…..”NIGGAZ” always hatin’

GO SUCK AL SHARPTON’S DICK!

BARACK KEEP DOING YO THANG! Go hard on em’!

Jesse is a hero for speaking the truth.

You would think he would know better than that, anfter spending decades on national tv

yeah okay, m-lew, and Mrs. PT—

Good morning ladies! Breaking the cycle of “misguidance” takes more than a Father’s Day sermon from Obama and a “standup” comedy rountine from Cosby. As long as there is discrimination…there will be tokens.

yeah okay, you kinda proved my point when you misread my statement. I respect you for catching your own mistake and for having the courage to admit it. You have a unique quality. Speaking of “unique”…I see all blessing from God as unique. Even Obama has been uniquely blessed by God to become the presumptive nominee for the Democratic party. The can be said for your and m-lew’s fathers. There journeys are special. God has blessings with each of our names on them. That was my point.

And, to Mrs. Pt…I don’t believe Jesse is saying that “the Man” is holding back black men. Although, he does want Obama and Cosby to be sensitive about what they say, because pointing the finger at black fathers who don’t take responsitility for their children, sends a message that they can all find jobs, and they can support their own, and the government should not be helping single black moms, and the deadbeats should go back to school. Don’t forget, at one time, “the Man” did hold back the black community. Littttterally! And trust me, there’s still some “holding back” on the DL.

Focusing…!

@ # 153 JUDAH:

(1) You are jealous of African Men in a really effeminate way
(2) You feel thretened by black women
(3) All your corny rhetoric can never mask your insecurities

LMAO @ #165 AFRICAN PRINCESS… tell us how you really feel

I saw many hot video at a black bbw dating site called blackbbwmeet.com. You can even check out more sexy and beautiful photos, videos and blogs there.

Wow…Obama is running for president. However my brother told me he saw he and his lover’s photo at a black dating site called ………………………Blackcentury.com……………………………… I have seen their photos, blogs there…maybe you should have a look

I agree with my mother who says that Jesse doesn’t count. He needs to return under the rock he was hiding under. He’s not relevant, and he’s only sorry he got caught. However whatever he has to say doesn’t count because we know his history and so do we!

did anyone offer to cut his balls when he committed adultery??
