"The Rev. Jesse Jackson apologized Wednesday for saying Barack Obama is “talking down to black people” during what Jackson thought was a private conversation with a FOX News reporter Sunday.

Jackson was speaking at the time about Obama’s speeches in black churches and his support for faith-based charities. Jackson added to the reporter, “I want to cut his nuts off.”

What ya think? Is Jesse outta line or dead on? If I was Obama, I would stay far away from Jesse

He is jealous.

Very very very jealous indeed .

Thats what I think

I still can't believe Jesse said that

not jesse . there goes my night.

I wonder if that falls under the threatining a federal officer act? If you stated that you wanted to cut the prez, could you be arrested?

Normal stuff. He did the same thing saying he did not know thr mic was on when he called NYC Hymie Town.Referring to the Jews. It shows thier true character. If he really does not believe it or think it was right why did he say it either way.


Reminds me of a time i was at the Blackjack table and 3 black guys were thier playing also.
They started fooling around to each other and saying N this and N that.
After awhile i said hold it. If i said that to you ,u would want to knock my head off so why can you do it. Thats right we would but were brothers and we can do it and it is ok. I said now we are all equal here right. Yes they said. Ok then if we are equal i am your brother also and if you keep calling each other the N word I will too..

They thought and said were cool you r right we will quit...I just have always remembered that night whether i really would have or not.

But it's no different than jesse speaking off mic.

I think Jesse Jackson is jealous of Senator Obama being the first black man to have a chance of actually winning a presidential election. I remember when Rev.Jackson ran for president and his campaign was a total flop. I think thats what is bothering Rev.Jackson.

What if a highly esteemed white minister or priest or rabbi had said the same thing? The black community would demand his head. Why isn't the black community outraged over this? Why is Jesse Jackson still held in high reverence?

People have been outraged all day. Rev.Jackson's own son denounced his statements. What are you expecting? What Rev.Jackson said was weird and inappropriate but it really isnt a big deal.

I would be interested in hearing from my African American brothers and sisters on this subject and how they feel about this.

The N word does not mean the same coming out of white folks mounths as it does coming out of brothas or sistas mouths. If you said it, I am white and I would knock your head off if you are not black. It just does not mean the same thing. Why would any white person care if they call themselves whatever, unless said white person has an issue with racism themselves??? Hmmmm? My opinion of course.

As for old Jesse, it is a personal issue he has about Obama whether it be jealousy or what and who really cares??? People have personal issues with other people all this time. If Obama wants to knock his block off for it then let em put the gloves on. LOL No biggie, really.

Hey mirror/mirror.... I noted all the smiles in your posts. I suspect that you agree with me.

I dont know. I was just expressing my opinion and what Ive seen on television all day. I think there has been outrage at Rev.Jackson. He has apoligized a dozen times today and his own son denounced his statements. What Rev.Jackson said about Senator Obama was weird and inappropriate but its not the end of the world.

Thats it he could get to the level that he wanted and so he is attacking someone who is much more successful...........its called divide and conquer............

Its actually the opposite he is irrelevant thats why he had to go to Fox news and no one cares...........he is a has been........
