I know.... I know.....it's called money. They'll do anything for money. Obama knew she was targeting blacks and minorities, basically a predator, and what did he do about it......wonderful man looking out for impoverished and poor. He swooped her up and made her a friend!!!!

Al Sharpton?
The AL Sharpton Campaign owes the US 500,000? What campaign? Tell him to pay it to the taxpayers towards what they owe us for the bailout.
A Sharpton on TV speaking of racism still against

Aw, too bad. But, now Michael Jackson...
...is in the Middle East doing consulting about theme parks??? Did I hear that right, what's up with that?
I went to Basic & AIT at Ft. Jackson
I'd love to see it now. That would bring back some memories (it was 28 years ago) - man am I that old? HA HA
You missed a bunch of hate-filled messages directed towards me today because I brought up something about Obama they didn't want to hear. Just snyde and dirty nasty hate filled remarks towards me trying to put me down. DH asked why I was so upset and I told him someone was yelling that I'm a racist. I let him read all the messages and he about fell on the floor laughing (I'm black). HA HA That did cheer me up.
Michael Jackson did it
practically overnight!
What did Jesse Jackson do now? Has he been drinking

Jesse Jackson and the N-word.
The thought of a man who is supposedly an activist for the black community and here he is calling an African American man the N-word.......just shows how big of a detriment he is to the black community. Good thing he supports Obama. I'd hate to see what he would say about him if he wasn't supporting him....Sheesh. What a load of crap! I don't want Obama for pres, but I still think the comments Jackson has made are highly offensive. If I were Obama, I wouldn't want Jackson's backing. In fact, I would denounce him and state that I could not accept the backing of a man who finds it acceptable to call any African American the N-word. If any white person had called Jackson the N-word......oh my gosh.....would the poop hit the fan then.
I'm white and I find the N-word offensive. I don't like to hear white people saying it and I don't like to hear black people saying it either. I've never understood why black people find this word so offensive unless another black person is the one saying it. It is offensive whoever says it.
Jesse Jackson/Obama saga
I find the behavior of Jesse Jackson apalling yet predictable; he has time and time again put his foot in his mouth, more than enough to cause his son to state that his father's comments were inappropriate. He is not the first nor I am sure he will be the last individual to make remarks such as this recent one - whether the mike was 'hot' or not did not merit such a statement.
As for the statements made regarding Obama's view regarding black fathers not stepping up to the plate and taking care of their children, I almost find that as apalling as the statement Mr. Jackson made about him. There are many black men who are active in their children's lives whether they are with the child's mother or not; I know of many men (black or otherwise) who are single parents and take care of their families. It is a constant insult to the black community as being the only community who have 'problems', because they tend to 'hide' from them is bull. The media is so fixated on portraying the black community negatively that many outside of it have bought into the stereotype and hold on to it for various reasons.
Bill Cosby? Pleeze!! How can he comment on anyone's morals when it is a well-known fact that he had a very long-term relationship with another woman who was not his wife, provided for a daughter who he says was not 'his' yet can wag his finger at anyone?...Jesse Jackson is no better, he also was involved with another woman who had his daughter to the embarassment and hurt of his wife and children??
I won't even speak on the self-serving comment that "understand I am not prejudiced against black people" that the original poster stated...that kinda speaks for itself...
Only thing missing is Michael Jackson....way
Wow! I didn't know the OP's personal thoughts on the Michael Jackson case.
How did YOU know?
Jesse Jackson gets bomb threats over Imus case...sm
Jesse Jackson gets bomb threats over Imus case
April 15, 2007
BY DAVE NEWBART Staff Reporter/ dnewbart@suntimes.com
The Rev. Jesse Jackson has been hit with a series of bomb threats since leading a charge to get shock jock Don Imus fired.
Jackson said he fielded a call Saturday morning urging him to watch his back and warning him to stay away from Rainbow/PUSH headquarters on the South Side.
Friday, a Jackson staffer took a call from someone who claimed to have planted a bomb at the headquarters at 50th and Drexel. The building was evacuated about 12:30 p.m., and police swept the building with bomb-sniffing dogs. Nothing was found.
Jackson said he has received 10 to 12 threats starting Wednesday or Thursday. The calls have gone to his office, his home and his cell phone. Although he hasn't fielded most of the calls, he said he believes there are different people behind them.
A police spokeswoman said an investigation is ongoing.
In New York, meanwhile, WCBSTV.com reported the Rev. Al Sharpton has also received death threats after criticizing Imus.
Imus was fired from his radio show for calling members of the Rutgers women's basketball team nappy-headed hos.
I think Jesse Jackson's probem is that Obama is not trying to hide the problems - see message
He is not trying to hide the problems in the black community - like his speech about father's needing to stand up and become involved in their children's lives - not just "bear the fruit" and leave it to rot... Most black people want their problems kept quiet and they will take care of it themselves. Also if there is a problem in the black community, they want to take care of it themselves and not broadcast it for the world to become aware (like they do not already know). As long as there is not a prominent black figure calling attention to their problems, they don't have to recognize them.
It is the same with Bill Cosby. The black community does not like it that he calls attention through the media to the problems. If he were just working behind the scenes quietly, it would be okay.
Understand, I am not prejudiced against black people - very involved with black people and therefore know some of how they think - agree with some of it and disagree with some of it.
