STOP PUSHING RACE IN AMERICA

When Nixon was President, self-proclaimed Rev. Jesse Jackson showed his true "colors" on racism when he talked about the Jewish community in America. He stated that he was "sick and tired of hearing about the Holocaust". He even went so far as to refer to New York City as "Hymietown" in 1984 in an interview with a Washington Post Reporter.

So...."Rev." Jackson....what's this all about? Oh yeah...and how's that $3000 a month in child support working for you with your child born of an affair?

And YOU DARE to try and teach Americans about ETHICS and what is right? Maybe you should, as the Good Book says,

"How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

Matthew 7:4-5

1. disparate and unfair prosecution and sentencing of Blacks, especially Black men;

2. incompetence of US government in responding to Gulf Coast victims of Katrina;

3. joblessness and under-employment of Blacks – even Black men with degrees (I'm aware of several Black men with MBAs and other graduate degrees who are or were un/under-employed for over a year...)!;

4. lack of fair lending to sound business efforts and ventures spearheaded by competent Black entrepreneurs, SBA has been totally useless and ineffective for Black businesses and entrepreneurs since 1992;

As for you other complainers; Jackson and Sharpton could die tomorrow and these issues would still be rife in our country until effectively and fairly addressed.

In this, our, age of abundant media, data and information, perhaps its too much to expect critical thinking, in depth analysis, and consideration of alternate perspectives and solutions???

You're only a victim if you allow yourself to be a victim.

Furthermore, to those crying of "injustice" and "slavery," when were any of you "owned" as a slave? Please, if anyone has reason to cry foul, it would be our American Indians and you don't hear half as much belly-aching from them as you do from others!

Stop whining like babies, pick yourself up off the floor and move on. You're stronger than idiots like Jesse Jackson would have you believe.

Too bad we can't lock both of them in a room, add Rush Limbaugh, and throw away the key.

I think Jesse's time is–and has been up. I also like the comments on here today.

Not a lot of racism, just pure truth. Frankly, I can't believe it, but it's great. Persons are starting to understand that injustice PERIOD, regardless of race, is WRONG. Yes, all races are struggling– Caucasian, African-American, Hispanic, etc. Poverty, lay-offs, and a bad economy are not issues experienced by one race.

Oh, and to the ignorant comment about how "white people have their own party[GOP], go start your own"– that is simply stupidity. Folks, do you know how many African Americans voted for Bush in 2004? Do your homework before spewing this nonsense. Unfortunately, that was one of the reasons he won–Evangelical, African-American Christians.

Take care.

To answer your question: take a look at the post by "sickofracists" on 11/27 at 3:33pm. The poster says without "racism" people like Jesse Jackson would be unemployed.

Its a pretty smart comment – think about it for awhile. Do you still believe racism does not exist? How can you be a person of good conscience and *not* understand how this problem affects us all?

Think of it this way: if you see a starving child born into poverty due to no fault of their own – and with no control over their life do you not feel sad? Doesn't it break your heart?

Well, the difference between progressive/liberal people and conservatives is that when we feel that pain in our heart we actually *listen* to our conscience and *do* something about it.

How anyone can say they have any sense of morality but not understand this simple truth is completely beyond me.

And as to your comment about ghetto people: you must really be clueless. I'd like to see you make that ignorant remark to a 6 year old child born in the ghetto with no control over their destiny. You sir, have no heart.

Health care, education and ending the Iraq war are my issues. I want a strong economy with jobs in the US and I want a justice system that works for all.

My hope is that the next president of the US will represent all people, not just a few.

Rev. Jackson does not speak for the vast majority of African-American voters. CNN should stop giving Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson "elected spokesmen" roles. They often seek the limelight but add little to the political discourse.

How are things in Michigan...last time I checked your freeloading unemployed Bush backers were totally taking part in the socialist programs available to them. Who do you think you are kidding. The government is in charge of our roads, state and federal employees' healthcare, water treatment, Federal Aviation, Waste Removal, Food & Drug inspections, The list goes on and on. If you don't like some of these programs please by all means moved to the island where Ken Lay relocated to...I'm sure Bush and his cronies will soon follow. You see when you hate government like the GOP and Bush you attempt to destroy in the name of capitalism. You know privatizing our armed forces, healthcare...everything. How has that worked out. How much has this war cost your unholy offspring, you selfish pig!

Mychal Bell had been arrested 5 times prior to the beating, but Jackson views him as a hero!

Jesse Jackson is Mr. Irrelevant.

I do take exception to the term "African American". Unless you came here directly from Africa I suspect "American of African Descent" may be more fitting.

It's a shame really, he and Sharpie could do so much more for this Country and all Americans if he/they did not constantly play the racist card. They have the talent, but not the will.

Will racism end, I hope so, but folks like this will keep it alive as long as it suits their purpose.

Unforunatly, there is no shakedown money in that.

Whether you realize it or not, your article, Most Democratic candidates are ignoring African Americans is counter productive. If you don’t think Obama and/or Edwards are going to be a net positive for the African American community, and all Americans in general, then you are wrong. Stop interfering with the progress of their campaign. It’s as if you are trying to intentionally sabotage their (mostly Obama's) candidacy. You had your opportunity. Now please let someone else have a chance.

Thanks

It's one thing to hate Jesse for being an idiot or because he never had a real job in his life. But I would sum up your thoughts as racist! Just nice to see a racist represent his party (repukes)as what they really are...racists! Wow someone from the south that's racist. How's the water supply down there? Still deny climate change? Where's your God now? I guarantee you that Jesse doesn't know.
