Does Jesse Jackson get it?

Question

Let's see...he basically turned on his own kind when he made those comments about Barack Obama. How does a public apology mean anything? I truly believe he meant what he said. He just apologized because he was caught. I mean is this man a disgrace and traitor to his own race or what? Let's not even go there when he referred to NYC as hymietown, awhile back. Do you think he is bitter because at one time he thought he would be the first African American prez? I don't know how he can refer to himself as a reverend. What a hypocrite! Maybe him and Al should get married. They are so much alike. Scratch that, they probably are blood relatives.

Answer 1

Those two really need to keep their mouths shut!

Answer 2

Jesse Jackson represents everything that is wrong with blacks in this country.  Blacks in this country will always be full of resentment and hatred over their slavery history.  Even those who become civil rights leaders and political figures cannot leave behind their resentment and become an example for younger generations of blacks.  They hang on to the distant past to excuse their shameful behavior.  I am sick of seeing his ugly face offering apologies, and what is worst we still do not know everything that he said, it appears the whole diatribe is so despicable, racial and vulgar that the news media is afraid to make it public.  Shame on them all!

Answer 3

Jesse and Al had a problem with Obama from the beginning stating he "wasn't black enough" wtf does that mean. Jesse messed up his chances back in the day for the presidency when he made racist comments about Jewish people. He doesn't mean his apology, he just apologized because once again he was caught saying something he shouldn't have said. Jesse and Al are the two most racist people in America.

Answer 4

He just wants to be white and is in total denial. Meanwhile he tries to cover it up with all his good-doing in the community, but he occasionally forgets his secret identity and slips up like in this instance!!!

Answer 5

Jesse Jackson and Alfred Sharpton are two racist idiots that serve no other purpose except to incite hatred and violence. And of course get rich in the process. These two so called "reverends of God" do nothing to help their own people, and denounce anyone that does, including Obama.

In the case of Jackson, even his own son had to tell this bozo to apologize and "shut up".

Answer 6

what is all the buzz about. if you read the story and Jesse's comments you'll see that he was just irritably frustrated with Obama's policies on the Black family, how not enough black gathers around, end of story.

Answer 7

No he really doesn't get it!  

He and Al Sharpton just love being in the public eye.

Do you really think he didn't know that it was possible for a live mic to be around?  After all, he has been on television for at least 15 years!!!!

Answer 8

Honestly .. I think he and Al Sharpton both need to be shot! They are both a huge waste of space on this Earth and a very unnecessary (and constant) annoyance to society! I hate them both .. they are both VERY hypocritical and it is unbelievable to me that they actually consider themselves men of God (reverends). God would hang his head down in shame over these two digusting people. Someone needs stand up to them because they are getting ridiculous!!
