I think Jessie Jackson is a bit of a dweeb. I saw him once with his tail between his legs approaching Bush about the dis-enfranchisement issue in Ohio and other places. Bush just passed him off. I thought at the time someone a bit more ballsy could represent his constituency.
Then I hear this N ___ stuff and just do this: 
Is anyone supposed to take him seriously? |

Evidence? You're gonna need some evidence. |

That's funny and so true. The funny thing is that the stereotypes change every decade!
As for Whoopieee, has anyone seen The View? She isn't educated...I'd put her in the 'entertainer' category and The View needs some shock for better ratings.
Jessie Jackson? I remember an interview with "the reverend" and as he was asked a question, this holy man reverend looked at the reporter and said "What the F**K are you talking about!!" After that, I didn't take him seriously.
Power over the white man? You must be American  I don't think black people are very empowered generally in America. I think there is virulent racism in many places. It used to be institutionalized a few decades ago. |
