If Obama becomes president, will Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson still claim extreme racism?

the extreme racism that lurks everywhere to keep down the dark skinned people, I hoestly thiNk If there was only 2,000 white people still alive and a completly African American, government these dopes would still complain and be praised fot it

Im not racist, I just can't see any racism in this country on a nantional scale that needs civil right leaders making marches like its 1955

civil rights activists are people that carry old baggage or just media pimps like Sharpton, My other race question is why do civil rights people complain about the prisons having too many blacks, what do they propose to do, ust let those guys go and start looking for more white criminals, 99 percent of those men are rightly convicted, more blacks in poverty, morte blacks in jail,,,simple math, they should just be happy those people are locked up, regardless of race, any haters or agreements

Update:

just my opinion, everything u said is pure propoganda and not factual just saying somethig is so doesn't make it so, and your claims are all flawed or false

    I am pretty sure they will do their best to undermine him. They will probably claim that he is being an "Uncle Tom" or "not Black enough" whatever that means.

    Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson make money off of racism. That's there job. Without racism, they're unemployed. Even if there is no racism, they'll just make something up, such as the case with the Duke Lacrosse players.

    Oh and by the way, I'm from New Orleans, and during Katrina, I saw no white people looting. That's because there are hardly any white people in New Orleans.

    First there is plenty of racism. Just be glad you are not Black and you don't have to see it. If you read these boards and just listen to all of the people who just hate Obama because he is black you can get a clue.

    Also the reason they complain about more blacks going to jail is because Blacks get the stiffer sentence. Whites commit crimes and get away with the same crime that blacks do time for. I know because I worked in the Courts for 25 years and saw it all. Blacks are considered guilty until proven innocent, whites are innocent until proven guilty. Have you ever heard of racial profiling well it is a real thing. Just like in Katrina when the blacks were looting they were reported as stealing. When the whites were looting they were reported as surviving. This was on the news and I heard it for myself. We have come a long way but racism is still alive and well.

    if he wins, those 2 will say the racists deprived him of getting more votes. there is always a reason for those 2 to get in front of a camera. i have always believed they do more harm than good.

    those old fossils? are you kidding? they won't know what to do since he's Mulatto. "Should I hate him or love him... ahhh I'm so confused!"

    They both need to retire and let the nation move on.

    of course they will

    that's what they're selling to network news and without something to sell, they're nobodies.

    besides, Obama isn't Black enough for them.
