Jesse Jackson is a man of so many facets one hardly knows where to begin describing him. Liar. Extortionist. Philanderer. Egomaniac. Thief.The man who called New York “Hymietown” in 1984, and who in September told a South Carolina newspaper that Barack Obama was "acting like he's white," yesterday said on a open mike, in a Fox News studio no less (you can’t make this stuff up), that Senator Obama was “talking down to black people” and that he (Jesse) would like to “cut his nuts off.”
Jesse feels that Obama, by saying in a speech he gave in a church recently, that more black fathers need to be present in their family, was being condescending to black people. Some people might see this as Obama taking a responsible stand on an important social issue, and one that has deep personal meaning to the candidate since he was raised in a fatherless home.
Unfortunately, Jesse isn’t in this fight to do what’s right. He’s unhappy that he’s no longer America’s favorite black politician, and he even unhappier that Obama doesn’t seek his blessing before speaking his mind.
It hasn’t been a full day yet, but one has to wonder if the ever politically correct media will mention any of the following:
- That 23% of non-Hispanic white children live in single parent homes, but 65% of African-American children are similarly situated.
- If using castration and lynching metaphors are off-limits to white people why is Jesse getting a pass on the racially insensitive nature of his remark?
- If someone had performed this procedure on the Reverend 30 years ago, he wouldn’t have had his out-of-wedlock daughter, to whom he provided a fatherless upbringing.
