Jessee Jackson - You Should Be Ashamed

Recently Jessee Jackson made headlines by attacking Presidential hopeful, Senator Barack Obama. Read the Jesse Jackson attack article.

It seems according to Jackson, that Senator Obama issued a "too" weak response regarding the case in Jena, LA where 6 young African-Americans are being charged for beating a young caucasian male. The incident is extremely racially charged from both the past and present, and it is very difficult to get to all of the facts at this point. The problem is finding the truth through all of the misreports, lies, misstatements, etc. It is a real mess. And as far as we're concerned Senator Obama took the right approach. But, Jackson was not happy with the Senator's approach and called him out on it by reportedly saying that Obama was "acting like he was white".

I can easily understand Jessee's position defending the 6 young African-American males because of all of the information that has come out concerning what lead up to the incident, what actually took place, and how the boys were charged. Even after his involvement with the Tawana Brawley incident in New York, where we firmly believe there was manipulation of the facts and lying for race baiting and grandstanding.

But what Jessee Jackson said about Senator Obama was vile, classless, tactless, and yes, stupid! Jessee Jackson owes Senator Obama and the "white" people of this country an apology!

What does acting "like he was white" mean anyway Jessee? What a joke! He has committed what anyone else would have been charged with fraud on his Rainbow Coalition tax filings and gotten away with it. He has extorted money out of USA corporations and has gotten away with it. Speaking of acting a certain way, we think you're acting too much like a bigot Jessee!

As a matter of fact, Senator Obama has moved up a few notches in our eyes because he hasn't attempted to use this tragic affair as a way to manipulate his image and for PR points. And, we're not sure exactly what happened down in Jena, LA, but that town has some serious work to do. Having a "White Tree" on school grounds where only whites could sit under it is a throwback to a time none of us should ever want to repeat. It is extremely crude, offensive, inhumane and barbaric, and according to pretty much all reports was something that was going on up until last year, which helped build up the tension to the incident.
