(Jesse) Jackson criticizes Obama ("acting like he's white")

It’s somthing to see, what former icons of the “civil rights movement” became once they realized how lucrative it is to perpetuate racial hatred.

[Anti-Bubba182]

"Jackson sharply criticized presidential hopeful and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for “acting like he’s white” in what Jackson said has been a tepid response to six black juveniles’ arrest on attempted-murder charges in Jena, La. Jackson, who also lives in Illinois, endorsed Obama in March, according to The Associated Press."

Staying away from "blaxploitation" issues is the smartest thing Obama could do.

And Jesse Jackson is just a “House Negro” for the white limo liberals. They toss him some money in an attempt to keeps blacks on the liberal plantation. Bet hillary is giving him a lot of money under the table. Jesse does NOTHING without getting paid off.

[Westlander]

Hugo agrees with Jesse.

[Michael.SF.]

If I were a candidate, I’d be all over Jena,” Jackson said

Jesse, that is why you will never rise above being anything but a candidate.

Jackson sharply criticized presidential hopeful and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for “acting like he’s white”...<

So, if Sen. Allen had said "This fellow here, over here, in the yellow shirt, acting like he's black" instead of "macaca" it would have been OK. Riiiiiight! The double-standard strikes again.

Staying away from "blaxploitation" issues is the smartest thing Obama could do.

Except he is not doing it.

JJ might as well be a paid employee of the Clintons (if he isn't already). This isn't about ideology, this is about power and money, and Obama hasn't gotten to the power brokers yet, even though he is a socialist through and through.

Hillary has the money and power right now, Obama does not.

Whats funny, is that awhile back I got a Obama fundraiser letter (and no, I am not a dem, or lib, why I got it, I have no idea), but it looked like it was written by a freeper, the way it bashed the clintons.

His entire campaing, and fundraising, is about bashing the clintons, the fact that he is doing okay, says something......it also tells you, there will be a 3rd party left wing candidate.

Perhaps you meant:

Jesse, that is why you will never rise above being anything but a schlickmeister.

Guess Ol’ Jesse Jackson thinks acting black means making people think of an Amos ‘n Andy Minstrel show with attitude.

[I see my hands]

My buddy tells the story of one day golfing with a friend at a very nice course. Though he plays quickly a two some caught up. Explaining they were time pressed they asked if they could play through.

My white buddy and his white friend, being courteous and generous, accommodated the request of the two black golfers graciously.

As the black men left after their balls one of them turned to my buddy and his friend and said with a warm smile: "Thanks again, fellas, that was mighty white of you."

True story.

That, Rodney King, is race harmony.

"..JJ might as well be a paid employee of the Clintons (if he isn't already). .."

I hadn't thought about that possibility. If this is true JJ would need to be super discrete or he would be damaged severely.

[rodeo-mamma]

I don’t see why Jesse should be bothered by this, he doesn’t seem to mind that Hillary acts like she thinks she’s a man. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

[The KG9 Kid]

I knew that Jesse Jackson would say something about Obama being a white man eventually. I'm surprised he's held out this long.

I can't believe that anyone listens to a damned thing he has to say anymore. If I owned a business that Jesse Jackson was trying to shake down, I'd personally come downstairs to stomp his old ass into the gutter.

[rodeo-mamma]

I know Hillary can’t stand him, she can’t stand anyone who won’t just get out of the way. Too bad so many blacks support her, if only they knew what she was really about. She’s one of the biggest racists ever. Ironically, most liberals are some of the worst racists you ever want to meet. I guess it makes sense, they aren’t the most fair people in the world.

The Rev says: “Jena is a defining moment, just like Selma was a defining moment”

Wonder is he thinks this too is a defining moment?

I could pick out many more “defining moments” for hypocrites are us.

[Michael.SF.]

Aren’t most candidates nothing more then a schlickmeister?

[JennysCool]

“If I were a candidate, I’d be all over Jena,”

If she's hot, he probably would be.

[Brad from Tennessee]

I want to know why Jackson hasn’t come to the aid of the accused in this story:

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I don’t agree with Obama on much, but he is far above Jesse Jackson, any way you measure things.
