I'm not seeing much mention of the Jessie Jackson debacle?

Question

His comments about Obama were just flat out nasty.  Especially for someone who claims to support the Obama campaign.  Obamas message about African American fathers being absent, not taking a role in their childrens lives and not taking responsibility was a very positive message.  Is there anyone out there in agreement with me that Jessie Jackson and those like him perpetuate  and stand for everything that is wrong in African American society today?

The democrats preach unity, but can't seem to agree on it.  That's been happening before Jesse Jackson made that comment.

Of course we are not seeing much about Jesse's remark.  Had this remark been made by a white person, there would be hell to pay and it would be in the papers and on tv for days!

I'm with you. I'm tired of the 'poor black man' and 'race card' defense. Anyone can overcome their upbringing if they have a desire to succeed.  Suck it up and become a responsible member of the 'human' race and stop thinking you are doomed to be a failure because of your ethnicity.

Yes. His comments were inappropiate, esp. for things that are true and are causing our problem.
