LMAO!! Jesse please go sit down…U were crying cuz u knew u phucked up when u wanted to “cut his balls off “.

lmao @ #1

are jackson and sharpton still relevant?….that would be a big “NO”

i totally understand that the struggle isn’t over, but the tactics they employ are just too old-school….both of them need to fall back

ps: david gregory looks like the grinch

I thought it was an black guy who was an editor at a magazine.

And what exactly were/are their jobs again? Who appointed them leaders? Sharpton and Jackson are no MLK and Malcolm.

is that guy David Gregory black?

he looks like one of those chappell skits with white face lol

I hate to say it but I don’t think Jackson and Sharpton are still relevant. At times they can seem like media hounds there are people that marched, prayed, and everything else who don’t demand credit for it everyday. There approach to things sometimes makes people lose respect for them.

David Gregory is boring.

David Gregory will do a great job. No one can bring the kind of excitement that Tim Russert brought, but Gregory is pretty good.

I think Sharpton and Jackson are still relevant. However, they need to step up and deal with the every day issues in some black communities and not just those major media issues like Sean Bell. Where are they on the rampant spread of HIV in the black community? Obesity leading the other diseases in the black community? Black-on-black everyday crime? Drug dealers on the corner? Young kids not going to school? I respect Sharpton and Jackson and orgs like the NAACP for what they do, but they need to do a lot more…even when they’ll get no shine on CNN.

——– LOL @ PAT FIELDS…good for Beyonce! I hope you’re getting paid dear.

——– I hope David works for the network…but he doesn’t do it for me.

——– Jackson and Sharpton are so irrelevant! They could care less about the
——– condition of Black people. They do this solely for their egos, $$ and the
——– limelight. Besides, I never heard of the people ask any of these characters to
——– represent the Black race from jump! I just wish they all would just go away…

I’ma start off with Sharpton and Jackson here. First off, although I know both of these men have played monumental roles in the Civil Rights movement back in the day…..all that aside, I believe they are both opportunists.

Al - I was too through to learn that he only participates in protests if he’s paid. What? That’s not what that should be about. I lost all my respect.

Jackson - Crying at the election?! GTFOH! Even your own son denounced your comments. And you doing what?! You’re a POSER and a hater! It’s sad that you were once looked upon as an African American man that was the epitome of change.

Balfour - You are so worthless that only GOD can judge you! To kill anyone is unspeakable BUT to kill a child………..

Meet the Press - I’ma miss ole dude. I loved watching him. May he rest in peace!

@ 8. PAT FIELDS:

WHY?!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!?…..LOLOLOLOL

i love bey, too, but go sit down somewhere, this post isn’t even about her.

back to our regularly scheduled program:

i’m glad an end is coming to the JenHud family murder case, they can finally get some kind of peace if now that the perpetrator has been caught and will be sentenced. I wish them the best, especially Jennifer b/c she’s going to have to be the head of that household now.

david gregory is now tim russert but i’m sure we’ll get used to him at some point.

as much as i like al sharpton/jessie jackson, i think they have become irrelevant even the our issues are still there and are still relevant. i wish they would open up the doors and let some new up and coming young activist join them and be known also. there’s a lot of other activist out there who don’t have the baggage that sharpton/jackson have that can do same thing they’re doing and be taken more seriously but you’d never know that b/c they’re not given an opportunity.

anyway, thanks concreteloop for the political posts.

Really #8 Pat Fields?? I didnt know beyonce was mentioned in this post lol People are so crazy, ANYWAYS David Gregory is a great choice for Meet the Press and to answer #5 I do believe david is white I think my first clue was um…. u know he looks white lol JUST SAYING!

Im sorry I have NO, and I repeat NO RESPECT for Jessie or Al…!!! for two people to clain that they are Civil Rights leaders they have truely disappointed me! So No they really and truely don’t matter!

I dont understand what the beyonce comment was about.

Al and Jessie will always have a job. As long as there are people who are taught and believe that they may do what ever they want because of the color of their skin ( black people included with everyone else) If you have notice both men are suppose to be teachers of Jesus Christ, but when is the last time one of their marches or gathering bought people to Christ. A Revile and not a rally. When is the last time their political views lined up with the word of God. I dont Believe TI, Jezzy. The influence men and women for the worst and think a few public apperance will wash away the silliness they rap/teach our young girls and boys. People like that Keep Al Employed.

oh yea this is the dumdest thing I have heard since Obama won

(Now I can tell my son he can be anything he want to be)
Now I know that a whole lot of you just start paying attention to the world around you, but if you just now tell your kid he can be whatever he wants you need to check your parenting. There have been at least 6 Black woman and men who have run for president to include the two Revs above. The reson they didnt make any splash was not because of the white man holding them down. Part of the reason was all of the them were not running for what was best for the country, they were running to show they could and to be incharge of Black america, and the other part was that black people were so closed in their own little worlds. I bet none of you (off the top of your head) can name the other two black people running and their policies in the 2008 election. The same people that told Obama he could be president should be the same people who tell the other black boys and girls. Their parents. But you all would rather have you kids out there making the pros, singing, and dancing in videos, in stead of following the foot steps of Fredrick Douglas, Shirley Chisom, and Condi Rice.

In this Hudson investigation, I don’t believe for one second that this guy Belfour worked alone in killing Jennifer Hudsons family. He had help, I hope they get these people that helped him. I also wish his mother would sit her behind down somewhere, talking reckless about this family during this time of grief.

LOL @ #5…doesn’t he?! I don’t think Jesse or Al are relevant anymore…I mean, can anybody on here tell me specifically what it is that they do? I’m young, so maybe I don’t know. All I have ever seen them do is run to the aide of black people when there is some sort of injustice. Which is fine, but I never see them run to the aide of any other minority. For example, the VT shootings. Why didn’t they cry out racial injustice when police manhandled that poor Asian student who just happened to be walking across the campus? He was even the shooter! Hell, he wasn’t even Chinese. They just saw a person who appeared to be Chinese and tackled him…where were they then?

And William Balfour’s mother sounds like I pure-D ass! That’s what’s wrong with men today. Mothers coddle their sons.

The issues haven’t gone away. Barack Obama said this is the beginning of change. This is not change itself. It’s almost insulting to act like blacks should now shut up just because we have a black president.

I actually have to agree with him here. I keep seeing too many white folks on blogs talking like that. And don’t get me started on that “get over it” kind of mindset.
