Here we go again!  I guess you could say the other shoe dropped with Jesse Jackson.  Some media outlets are calling him messy Jesse and this description seems to fit the former presidential hopeful lately.

Apparently saying “I would like to cut his nuts off” wasn’t all Jesse said concerning Barack Obama.  Apparently, Jesse also said “Barack…he’s talking down to black people…telling n–s how to behave.”  Yes, Jesse used the N word also, which is hopefully the nail in his coffin as a public figure.  What exactly is it that Jackson does that benefits anyone?  I really don’t know how relevant he really is anymore – that is assuming he ever really was relevant in the past.

At this point he has become an embarassment to people of all colors and someone who needs to stay out of the limelight as much as possible.  Doesn’t he have a child he could be raising?  I know that is a low blow, but it is still true.

The most obvious reason for Jesse’s actions seem to be pure jealousy.  He had his time to shine and it just didn’t work out for him – we would have been a laughing stock to the rest of the world if he was elected.  So, since he didn’t advance as far as Obama, he is apparently going to do what he can to hurt his campaign.  He sure is drinking those 40-ounce bottles of Haterade!  How many of us actually believe he didn’t know the mic was on?  It seems rather suspicious given the amount of time he has spent behind a mic and camera.

Jackson’s main problem with Obama is what he (Obama) says or doesn’t say about issues which affect African-American people (there is that term again).  There is a fine line between discussing race issues and continuing the cycle by repeatedly throwing up the race card.  If he is smart, and I think he is, Obama realizes this and acts accordingly.  We really have to do something to get past race issues and I don’t think past actions will work.

You can say what you want, but if elected Obama will have to be the President of the United States not the president of the black people of the United States.  At some point he has to push forward with a message of equality and address other issues affecting us all.  Harping on issues primarily dealing with African-Americans will get him nowhere.

Here is the question:

1. Does Jesse have a point and Obama isn’t discussing minority issues enough?
2. Is Jackson totally off base and Obama is doing as he should?
3. Do you think this has been brewing within Jesse for some time now and he finally went public on purpose or inadvertantly?

Leave a comment and tell us what you think.

OK, this is going to be short and you know what the point is.  If you haven’t heard, Jesse Jackson (I’m leaving the Reverend off on purpose) was caught on camera whispering some things about Barack Obama.  He apparently thought they were on commercial and the mics were turned off.  At least I hope that is what he thought.  Anyway, he said something about “Obama talking down to black people, “He is talking that faith based” and…..”I want to cut his nuts off!”

Yes, that is the same guy who asked people to call black people African-Americans AND has a baby’s mamma!

When pressed, Jesse said this about his statements, “I said it can come off as speaking down to black people. The moral message must be a much broader message. What we need really is racial justice and urban policy and jobs and health care. There is a range of issues on the menu.”  Concerning saying he wanted to cut the presidential candidate’s nuts off, “And then I said something I felt regret for — it was crude. It was very private, and very much a sound bite — and a live mike. I find no comfort in it, I find no joy in it.”

Uh, Jesse?  You can put all that tenor in your voice and rhyme a little bit, but you are cold busted!  Ha!

Can somebody chime in and tell us exactly what Jesse’s son had to say about his father’s comments?  I haven’t heard them word for word, but the impression I got was he was slightly throwing his father under the bus.

It almost seems to be some jealousy to me.  Now that Barack has the nomination, everyone will think he is supposed to have their interests number one.  Jesse, don’t you have some Rainbow Coalition work to do or a conference will Al Sharpton or something?

I’m going to say this and get off this.  After this happened is someone finally going to quite putting Jesse on TV?
