Do Jesse Jackson's comments about Barack Obama reflect a rift in the black community?

Question

Do Jesse Jackson's comments about Barack Obama reflect a rift in the black community?

Answer 1

It reflects Jackson's aim to make the Black race the main agenda on Obama's list of to-do's.

Answer 2

No, he changed his tune so he would not hurt his campaign.

Answer 3

Jackson's comments about anything aren't worth a pisshole in a snowbank.  I'm delighted to see he put both feet into his mouth this time.  The man's anal.

Answer 4

The Black community has never been monolithic.  Just as many who disagree with McCain on some issues, will still vote for him, so many who have issues with Obama will still vote for him.

And some people on both sides are really obnoxious and unlikeable, but will still support the candidate of their choice.

Answer 5

No, they just reflect something that made the news. I say horrible things about what white men have done to the country I live in everyday but it doesn't mean I have a rift with people who are white like me.

Answer 6

NO, there is no rift in the black community.  In fact, they would seem to have one reaction now and different one if Jessie were not a black man.  What if Jesse Jacksons comments had come out of Jesse Helms mouth or Bill Clintons?
