Jackson is an old school Negro who wants "The Man" to pay for his misdeeds yet does not see the need for the "Brother Man" to pay for the offspring of their seed. Obama just wants them to grow up and be a Man and look after their damn kids like the rest of us.
wait, wait.... Obama was "talking down to black people"? Damn I hate when white people do that... oh...wait...
Both Jackson and Sharpton need to die horrible deaths spitting up blood while choking on their own testicles. They have done more harm to the black community than "The Man" has done in the last twenty years.
But, hey! This should put many conservatives at ease, since if Jessie Jackson dislikes Obama, he can't be all bad, right?
I don't get this bullshit with the apology. He meant what he said. If he's sorry about anything, he's sorry that he got caught. I'd have more respect for the guy if he just said "I probably shouldn't have been so crass, but, in my opinion, by talking down to black men, Obama has metaphorically cut the nuts off of the voter base that got him where he is right now. I apologize to those who were offended by the crassness of my remarks, but not the sentiment behind them".
That's pretty much what he said, imho. AFAIC, Jackson's demeanor during the statement was an obvious communication of something that was meant to be private. Fox News being who they are, of course thinks that it is news that all black people don't agree on all issues and that we are not a monolithic people. So someone wake me when something exciting happens. I'm going out to get some motherfucking iced tea.
No offense bud, but Fox News is hardly alone in assuming that blacks are monolithic. Hell, it's been drummed into our heads for years, by guys like Jesse Jackson no less!
You think that if it was MSNBC or CNN they wouldn't have run the tape? Everyone who is a politician knows that when you are sitting in front of a camera you always assume it is on and recording because usually it is. Oh and Flow is right.
More of the tape has been leaked! http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser...jesse_jackson_said_on_that_fnc_tape_89392.asp
Wasn't good old racist Jessie calling for Don Imus's removal last year for having made some questionable statements? Didn't he also go out on national news outlets and open his big mouth and say that the N-word should never be used? Apparently the jack ass is also a hypocrite since he used it as well. I wonder if he'll step down from whatever jobs he has? Dumb question, of course he won't.
