Comments on: Jesse Jackson Apologizes To Obama

Reverend Made "Regretfully Crude" Comment In Private Conversation Caught On Tape

[ajmarine111]

"My appeal was for the moral content of his message to not only deal with the personal and moral responsibility of black males, but to deal with the collective moral responsibility of government and the public policy...," Jackson''s statement said of his comments.



Maybe Jesse should run as a third party candidate and show Obama how it''s done?

First, Michelle Obama called her husband pathetic on TV. Then Bill Clinton told Obama to come and kiss his @ss. Now, Rev. Jesse Jackson said he wants to cut Obama''s nuts off.

Once you really get to know Obama, you really can''t help but hate the man.

[johnmcsame]

Jackson is correct. We should cut off Obama''s nuts since he appears to be someone who lacks courage.

Pardon me? You hate it when people back track or want to take back comments? Are you a f''n human being???? People are ALWAYS talk''n &*^ in private about one another when no ones listening. This isn''t even news....

I know some people in Hymietown who would be glad to cut off Jesse''s nuts.

Apologies are worth about as much as the piece of paper they are printed on. He expressed his true feelings about Obama, it is out there, so he should just roll with it. I hate it when people "backtrack", or "re state" or "clarify" their comments. Just say what you mean and stand behind it. To me, Jackson looks worse now than he did before he made the remarks. It looks he is just trying to cover his arse instead of being honest and truthful.

Surprise. No one has rejected what i commented on or called me a racist for it. I guess even the ignorant can''t argue with facts.

Many white people gave their lives to free the slaves(all colors). Yet todays blacks punish all whites for the events a very long time ago. All members of my family didn%u2019t own slaves and some went to war to stop slavery. So I am saying this%u2026.

You make an excellent point, Oregon. I have been saying this for years. I recently read a book called, "Bound for Cannan" which is a cronology of the underground railroad. The risks and danger that white families put themselves in to help slaves get to Canada and freedom just blows your mind.
If black leaders had been teaching their children that the reason slavery ended was because of a lot of good white people, maybe there wouldn''t be this level of anger in young black men. There were grave injustices done to black Americans, both during and after slavery, but good white people have paid a large part in changing that. I am supporting Obama, not because he is black, but I think it goes a long way help creating trust between the races that so many white people are supporting and voting for him. We aren''t a nation of racists after all, which I always knew. There will always be racists, but they will be forced to the fringe.

I have found that by posting something profound. It will cause people to stop all BS for a while. We all need to be deeper thinkers than what the media wants us to be. The truth is there when you ask the right questions.The trick is to learn to do that, then wait for the answer. If a persons mouth is going then you hear only your self.


Agreed. Unfortunately, too many want to force their opinions on us w/o listening to the other side
