First of all i would like to say its great seeing a post that is actually relevant in our lives,because how much someone sold im sad to say isnt. So much of what you said made me feel like i wrote the s*** cause its how ive felt for a long time. Sharpton and Jackson have been cancers to our community for so long even though theyre suppose to represent OUR interests and defending OUR rights,get the f*** out of here. I was only a kid back in the late 80s when the whole Tawana Brawley case dominated the media so wasnt to sure of what was happening but was informed that the whole thing was a hoax that helped propel Sharpton into the spotlight of ''activist''. This new remark by our boy Jesse could be one of the best things to happen for the Obama campaign because it further seperates him from any agenda of Jacksons that may have had some Whites skeptical about voting for a Black man . As Jackson becomes older and more bitter at the fact of his increasing irrelevancy, we can expect some more future soundbites from him in a last ditch effort to have a camera in front of him. Who was your first choice if u dont mind me askin? And again thanks for a thought provoking topic in a forum polluted by 98% b*******.

You are welcome. I was hoping I would get someone with thoughts. I actually was going for John Edwards. I was sad when he dropped out. I think he has the experience and knowledge about economics that Obama doesn't have. At the same time he lacks the ability to connect with people like Obama. I was hoping Obama would choose him as a running mate but I don't think he's even a front runner. Who knows? Once he ducked out, I knew I would go for Obama. I think it was sad people were voting for Hillary for things Bill did. The two are not the same. She is a phony. The fact that she is with him now speaks volumes. I believe she only stayed with him after Monica was because she knew she had designs to run for office. I could be wrong though. Thanks for your interest.

i agree with the whole hillary is phony statement...

lol..i thought it was just me..but i really dont believe her...

i cant lie..it would have been interesting to have a female commander in chief....

i was with obama from day 1 (honestly first and foremost , because he's black)

but then i saw how he connected with EVERYONE! white , black, and hispanic alike..

then watching the debates , i saw he was very competent, intelligent and had a lot of positive energy, and he seemed sincere about turning the country around...

i agree..this is a very good post...

i think he is definitley salty because his chances of becoming our nation's "first black president" was smashed to pieces quite some time ago...he probably figured in his mind that if he...the same man who ran with M.L.K cant win..no black man can...america just wont let it happen...

its funny how hate transpires thru all genres and walks of life...

music, politics, etc...its sad

That s*** could've been jealousy on Jesses part but at the same time if that's his opinion of Obamas speech then I think he got the right to it even if I did'nt agree or was'nt offended...it's ok. if he was for whatever reason. I mean he ain't call'em a b**** or nothin'...and thanx for posting this comment.

It's cool to disagree with someone, but to say he should cut his nuts off? Crazy.

Co-sign Albany & MerryJane

My question is when Bill Cosby was going hard at all black people where in the hell was Jessie Jackson then? Bill got waaay out of character with some of the things he was saying. You don't air your dirty laundry in a public forum, that's family BI. How about making a hefty donation (you worth 500 millie) or creating a show that really connects with us and tackles some of the very issues you say your concerned about. Cosby show was great but one thing it wasn't was real. Thio never had to run his pockets, they never address racism, sexism. Even though I would have loved to sex up Felica Rashad and her sister too. To be honest, Bill was absolutly right though, and so is Obama. My mother always told me it's not what you say it's how you say it, and in this case Obama used tact instead of putting us on blast. What's funny is black people really don't get it. It's called divide and conqure, Jessie says that BS to shave off votes from Obama. Is he a hater? "YES"! In all actuallity do you think he meant what he said "NO". As Fifty would say it's chess not checkers, but as I would say when the games over the King and the pond go back in the same box. It's so many people that don't want to see a black president it's rediculious. I think he was told to do that by the powers that be. He gets his 15 mins Obama looses 15,000 disinfranchised blacks.

To make matters worse if you didn't know you heard it hear first. It's very likely that he will get the nod come Nov but how long do you think that will last? He won't make it through 2 summers. He will be another slain great black leader. I think he knows it too. The tension in the atmosphere grows thicker each week. I'm just waiting for that pop sound to put us right back in the footprints of our grand parents when Malcom and Martin were assinated. Then what will we do Rally or Riot? I say both but not in the traditional sense.

On the bright side he is cementing the fact that a Black man will be president one day. He is an inspration to a whole new generation. I think that's the change he was truly meant to bring about. So in closing, right fist in the air "YES WE CAN"

Easy

P.S.
Merry Jane... Beauty is power, your smile is it's sword my shield has never been more useless.
