Translation: You're about to hear about my baby next week, too.

Too bad I'm not Christian.
And there's a difference between making a mistake and fuckin' up. And jesse done fucked up.

okok. That wasn't fair. I'm a Christian and that wasn't a kind to say about Al Sharpton. I do think we should forgive Jesse Jackson. It's true he's done alot of good work for people everywhere. He just needs to get back on track [and not get crazy in his latter days.] (Why these folks getting crazy in their latter days? It's like after 60, they just go wild.)

It's called 'jealousy' and 'bitterness' J.

Maybe I'm being unfair to Jesse - I've always thought of him as an ambitous hanger-on'er - considering that his entire career hasn't been without merit, but to go after Obama publicly like that was just plain janky!

Jesse wants to be the first Black President badly, but he needs to recognize that he's just not presidential material and never will be.

Be happy with your accomplishments Jesse and try to go forward gracefully or you'll tarnish what little good reputation you have left!

I hear you, Christian. I guess I was naive enough to think they had risen above all that [because Lord knows I don't want to be 65 and still playing kindergarten games,] but maybe it all comes down to that. Sad if true.

I think people forget Jesse was there for Black people for a long time. He was opportunistic, yes, but I believe he had the interest of Black people at heart for the most part. Dude STAYED marching. I'll give him that. *side eyes Jesse marching for the left-handed, one-eyed migrant workers from Ubekistan* lol But these people do all this work all their lives, then they go crazy. I don't get it. Like Jeremiah Wright… he led the church for 35 years just to act plum crazy at the National Press Club? Man you were so close. ::smh::

The reason why he wasn't never a serious presidential candidate was because he was more focused on black issues, which I believe didn't 't sit well with many politicians or the mass majority of the U.S. of A. Obama, I hate to say it, is more color neutral.

I don't think it is a matter of "mistakes". Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton (though to a lesser degree) have proven themselves to be chronic hypocrites. Though one must acknowledge their profound contributions in the past, they have passed their prime and need to stop pathetically clawing their way back into the limelight like a talentless celebrity. I'm 24 and the only real memories I have of Jesse Jackson is that he is the guy who shows up and calls press conferences in any high profile case with a black suspect regardless of the civil rights implications of the case (or the the suspect's guilt). The affairs, the current "nuts" debacle, and the fact that he is so out of touch with what black America wants and needs just shows that the man's credibility is negligible at best. Retire!

it seems kinda retarded to throw out a man who has helped the community for the last 40 years, all because of an off comment. i saw him at the BET summit a few weeks ago and he stood in obama's corner, even when there was still a chance that clinton would win.
he DID NOT say these (ill-advised) remarks publicly. these were private comments that were overheard. how many people have made a crass comment about a loved one or friend. that doesnt mean that you harbor any ill will towards the person.
lastly, let's strip out what jackson was saying. he was saying that he didnt think that obama was standing up for YOU GUYS (the community)enough. more importantly, we know that obama wont be coming to any freedom marches in new orleans or any other polarizing event. so who do you have now?
i know that we all want obama to win (but let's not play ourselves).

WAKE UP!!!!!!
