Sharpton 'Very Disappointed' With Jesse Jackson Calls For Public Figures To Be 'Consistent' NEW YORK (CBS) ― Rev. Al Sharpton spoke out Thursday against Rev. Jesse Jackson's use of the N-word that was caught on tape while preparing for an interview for Fox News.
Sharpton, who has joined Jackson in opposition of the word, said on CBS News' The Early Show on Thursday that he was "very disappointed" by this latest revelation.
"I think this certainly does not reflect the Reverend Jackson that we all know and love," Sharpton said. "I think that we have to be consistent. We have denounced the N-word at National Action Network and other groups. Those of us and many of us who have used it privately said we must refrain from it if we're going to challenge people using it publicly."

This town ain’t big enough for two race-hustlers.
Looks like Sharpton sees an opening and is going for the jugular.
Did Not-so-Sharpton ever apologize to the Duke lacrosse players? Didn’t think so.
Let’s see....if I remember right.... “nappy haired Ho” got somebody fired recently...at “REV” Sharpton’s insistence!
Talk about being consistent.
What a putz!
Hey, Sharpton, what do you expect form a power hungry brain dead cult leader.
Nuts!
A picture is worth a thousand words...
Shouldn’t Jackson have to go to Sharpton and ask for an apology or something? Shouldn’t his career be ruined? I mean, the guy said the word “nigger” on television and threatened to cut a black man’s “nuts off”!
Oh wait, that’s right, he’s black.
Actually, Al, it shows the real Jesse - not the pretend fellow you see on the news. You know, Al, sorta like the Tawana Brawley incident showed us who YOU really are.
Bill Cosby giving young girls “roofies” and then talking
about responsibility is the height of hyprocisy.
I remembered the FR threads about the NAALCP et al having “official” ceremonies to get rid of the “n” word. Check out the WINNER at the bottom!
FR search with “n” word as key word.

What is a roofie ?
Double snort, hehehe!
I thought this was Obmalmadingdong's line so, "Under the bus with you (and BTW, say "hello" to my grandmother and the other Reverend)!"

A mickey finn.
What took this blowhard so long to chime in on this?? I was expecting to hear from him days ago...
“This is not the Jesse Jackson I used to know.”
-hmmmmm, where have we heard that before?
He wants public figures to be consistent? How about we start with Sharpton calling for Jesse to lose his job like he did in other cases.
If the answer is "It's OK for us, but not for Whitey" -- then that is as racist as it gets...
(Check for yourself: listen to a bunch of "homies talkin' trash on each other", and, then, if you are white, step in and use the same language...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
WTTW: be prepared to defend yourself...
Nor has the crooked, lying pig ever paid the libel-judgment money to the district attorney he helped that liar Tawana Brawley try to send to prison.
He is pure stinking trash.
He didn't even appear shocked Jackson said it.
Is use of the "N" and the attendant outrage only for guilty white liberals? Liberals who get all a twitter over this "insult" while blacks aren't blinking an eye?
Something doesn't add up.

Oh, and FOX News and O'Reilly need to get real on this... the motto of FOX can't be, "We're the gatekeepers, you're the sheep".
I suspect all the news people at FOX were allowed to hear the tape - they were able to "decide" - while we were "protected for our own good".
Shame on FOX.

bullhorn !
It’s a real hoot, too !!
They sound like a bunch of whining babies -- the thin-skinned bunch of hypocrites.
I was once chastized by a negro, back in the early seventies for using the then popular phrase to whine about -- "colored people". A phrase I was taught to use by my mother [a very kind and aware Southern lady] from a very young age [about five, I think]. We were in a drugstore in Cleveland, Ohio having a soda, when she heard me innocently use the word "nigger" [a word not used in our home -- one I learned right there in that very northern city]. I had just asked a black man if his name was "nigger."
Mom immediately called down about it, apologigized to the man for my remark, and then told me never to use that word again, becasue it was a bad form of the word 'negro' which means black. And she went further by saying something which has stuck with me to this day -- "Never look down on a black person because of their color -- the only difference between them and us is that they got a bit of sunburn before they left heaven to be born."
Sharpton is a darker version of David Duke, and in a sane world he would be totally irrelevant.
Incidentally, about that negro who ‘chastized’ me for referring to colored people because black people saw it a slur, I asked him, “Then why isn’t the name of the NAACP a slur?” He Hmmmed and Hawed for a few seconds, silently turned away, embarrassed, and never brought up the subject again.
And the NAACP still’s name still, hypocritacally contains that “racial slur.” But I guess it’s alright — changing their name every time the thin-skinned “leader” decide that whatever is in common usage to describe negroi people is suddenly politically incorrect would soon become a pain in the butt. And it would really be rather ridiculous these days if you added if they added AA for African-American, now wouldn’t it?
It’s time for the self-appointed ‘black leaders’ to knock off that silly kind of crap and earn their money spending some time on worthwhile things to help their people become a true, equal and proud part of THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Now THERE is something that really needs explaining! Please tell us the differences.
You should hear what some of the (military) blacks I work with call the “revs” je$$e j@ck$0n and @l $h@rpt0n. I can’t post it on FR.
I like your Mom - you were blessed.
VERY MUCH SO. Thanks. The greatest misfortune of my life was tht she died when I was twelve, but I've never forgotten of her wonderful Christian compassion, truthfulness and honor.
The loss of a mother at such a young age must have be very painful. I can’t even imagine what it would have been like. I’m glad you carry some of her memories - and the values she held...
