Jesse Jackson = KKK?

It works for me. As far as I am concerned Jackson and other like him are just as racist as the KKK, and I think they would work well together. We could call it an experiment in the concept and application of Hope and Unity. In the event of the experiment going badly, and one of the participants becoming injured or worse... well, America would still come out better for it as we will have lost nothing important.

Lol. Yet another interesting spin! Yes, they should definitely give him another chance and maybe get on board a few neo-fascist homosexuals as well to even out the spread! The diversity may just give them a human side that has been lacking for so long!

I want to write a letter to the KKK. They absolutely should allow all racists of all races. Wouldn't he be a great leader? With his connections and magnetism? Jesse Jackson is just what the KKK needs to boost membership as well as morale.

Well I'm sure Jesse Jackson has already done more harm to the black community than the KKK ever could. See, he has black people believing he actually "cares" about them. He fools them into thinking that they need affirmative action, welfare, points added onto test scores, and other forms of handouts to be equal to white Americans. He teaches them to be dependent on a broken system and works to promote ignorance over hard work. He even makes a fair income doing it. We all know his apology is meaningless. He hates Obama because Obama threatens to ruin everything Jackson has been saying. Suddenly black people can see that nothing is beyond their reach and affirmative action plays no part in elections.

forgive me for being ignorant, but who do you think staged it? are you saying that jesse jackson staged it?

Jesse Jackson is not unlike any other man that has run a long hard race for change. His son condemned his own fathers comments. This comment was born out of frustration for a people that remain the covert second class citizens in America. He understands that Obama must remain as neutral about his relationship with Black America as possible so for Jackson to have the notion that the presidential hopeful would act in any other fashion is outrageous. There is a price to pay for being an ambassador for change for any group of people. Jackson has his niche and he should remain focused on that element. Ultimately the exploitation or covert or overt undervaluing of a group of human beings is the question being raised by racism. Jackson and even others that have been deemed racist because of some of their perspectives on fairness and equality with regards to special priviledges for any race whether official i.e. affirmative action or unofficial i.e. the "good ole boy system" have valid concerns. Affirmative Action was designed to address the long tradition of salvaging the image of Corporate America by promoting the tried and true model of the past, promoting the individuals that best fit the image of historic success in American business, the white male. Without Affirmative Action the cycle would not have been broken and a people that were given a delayed and limited start in American society would continue to face many barriers to entry. These people not only include minorities in the sense of race, but also in gender as well. It does not seem fair and it will continue to be a balancing act for the current generation. However, if human life remains present on the planet for a few more generations, we will see a complete evolution of America as we know it with the meshing of all people in what I call the "Browning of America." Classism will far out weigh racism by that time and our discussions will be very different. The gaps that seperate races will begin to close as Generation Y advances their careers with a people are people approach to life. Eventually our generation will be viewed as barbarians.

There is noisy racism here and I feel alittle sorry for Rev Jesse Jackson! What is he doing in America?

I do not think the modern KKK would have the grapefruits to make a statment like this. Maybe JJ could improve the Klan's hatred. So yes they should forgive JJ. JJ was just lost his nerves and that is why he asked for forgiveness. Really if you study what his response was there never was an apology in the statment. Did I mess it?

i cant prove it but my guts tell me this whole thing is staged.they seem to pull this same stunt around every election,some politician whispering around a microphone.dont drink the kool-aid,and trust nothing you see or hear on the television.i think the whole thing was calculated and rehearsed.

They shouldn't just offer him the position they should offer him a salary. What a schmuck!I have always despised this fool. I have never understood how he has rose to such prominence. How anyone could allow this reprehensible, racist, adulterous, a$$ to claim he speaks for anyone but himself is beyond comprehension. Just goes to show that his mouth runs faster than his brain. That by the way was his "inside" voice. It is simply that he has no edit button!

Jackson is a waste of flesh. He and Al Sharpton are the two biggest s*** disturbers known to man. His comments were hilarious, though. This is the first time he has said anything that made any sense whatsoever.

Funny you say Jesse Jackson should be in the KKK I wrote a blog about this: www.garettwrites.blogspot.com
