If it were possible to further prove what a buffoon and racist he is, Jackson is now claiming that any black person who does not vote for the government health care takeover is not fit to call himself black.

Apparently Jesse Jackson has declared himself the gatekeeper of entry into the black race.

Jesse Jackson vs. Chuck Norris with special guest referee Nick Mangold.

The referee would have to be black, and the panel of judges would have to be black.

Keebler, wrong.

Men like Jackson, Sharpton, and even Manning - all they do is ensure that a racial divide will never leave us.

I think they are the only ones still talking about it.

If you listened to Rush Limbaugh on a daily basis, you would probably hate Black people. Just sayin.

There are exceptions to every rule.

I understand that Rush is now spewing that Gallup is double counting Black people to artificially inflate Obama's popularity numbers.

When questioned about these allegations, he has nary a source. Too bad he doesn't post here. He would be banned for stating unsourced material.

So how did this go from Jackson to Limbaugh?

Not defending Limbaugh here (don't like him, don't listen to him), but let's keep to discussing the racist at hand.

Jesse and his ilk are all about the benjamins. This makes them a nice living, so they have to keep it alive.

I was told that I was the gatekeeper of the black race.

Now I'm just angry.

These threads are so wore out. I think we need to junk the politics forum. We can't have discussions about anything. This thread is about Jesse Jackson and someone brings Rush Limbaugh into it.

I responded in kind to BSF's post with her inclusion of Sharpton and Manning being responsible for the continuation of racism in our country.

So somehow I am the bad guy for injecting some balance in the thread?

My opinion is that both Jackson and Limbaugh are racists. Maybe you don't agree with that. That's cool.

If you don't like reading dissenting views, whether it be what festers racism in this country, or other issues, then maybe you shouldn't be reading and posting on political boards.

Not everybody is going to agree with you and not everybody is going to agree with me.

BFD.

And the continuous race baiting by Limbaugh doesn't add any benjamins to his own bank account?

I understand people aren't going to agree on everything but it just seems like we never get anywhere on any of these issues lol. It carried over from jj's site.

No, no, no...it's "Keep HOPE alive." Get it right.

Why you guys even care about him, i have no idea.

I don't even know any liberals who take him seriously.

He is so far on the fringe he's about to fall off the edge of the earth.

Other than Jesse Jackson himself, I believe one would be hard pressed to find people who actually believe he is in any way concerned with "civil rights", or that take much of anything he says as being even a slight bit important.
