Lol this thread delivers.
Jesse Jackson needs to be shot. Al SHarpton needs to be shot. ANY situation they can turn into a race problem, they will. They went through the struggle? Let me help you out some. They wouldn't have HAD to go through the struggle if:
A: Their forefathers went back to Africa when they were given the oppurtunity.
B: Blacks hadn't fought willingly against the north during the war for slave freedoms.
C: Other Africans hadn't sold their ancestors into slavery, who did they sell them too? The white man?? Nope, the Portugese, then the Spanish. The first white slaver to buy African slaves came along over 150 years after the first Africans were sold (by their own people) into slavery.
So if Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and all the rest of the Black race want to point fingers, point them at the right people. The Portugese, the Spanish and themselves.
But oh no, it's never easy to read history. It's always much better to grow up in a sociaty that perpetuates it's own ignorance by believing that somebody owes them something and by having 9 kids and living in government housing they are somehow "Beating the man". The best part is that anyone that educates themselves and escapes that way of life is ridiculed.
Gotta love it. So in a society where there is no desire to change your way of life, but to sit there and wallow in the past, a past that nobody alive today has even been through or had to "Endure" is extremely laughable. The only things most blacks have to endure is self perceived racism. Most whites could give a **** less.
So if that makesme a raicst, you are an idiot.

why does every race thread ends up with people talkin about jesse jackson, and al sharpton, they are far from any voice of us. they jsut get all the tv time..and pictures..
the main issue goina round today racially, is mostly from people trying to make a better image of themselves. And stick together and dont set ourselves back, by working together instead of against each other. The only time black people really stick together is when its from a race related issue towards us, going at other people. When it shoudl be like that all the time.
Actually, they ARE the voice of you because they do get the TV time. Most people watch TV, and those two bozos do whatever they can to splash their images all over the TV. Unfortunately, your face isn't on the TV so I have no clue what your views are, but 99% of America knows what Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons views are because they are rammed into our retinas daily. They cloak their own racism and bigotry by pimping the black race every chance they can get to further their own ambitions.Originally Posted by JITB
There has been a change by alot of youth over the past 10 years. I can see a difference from when I went to school in how young black people think about things. More of a positive note, more are educating themselves and striving for better and better things. It's actually a multi-racial shift. All races have done this. But there are still those out there who still see "The man" as the cause of all their problems. That's where the "Reperation" idea came from. It's mostly supported by those who can't stand on their own.Originally Posted by JITB

Tony, we've had good intelligent debates in the past. You seem like a reasonable person, so it surprises me you are buying into the Al and Jesse hype. You honestly think he's so "smart"? You want to talk about what Al and Jesse bring to the table of public opinion? Let's see:
How about Tawana Brawley? Sharpton went as far as publicly claiming that the DA was one of the "rapists". We all know how that turned out. It was a hoax by a girl trying to not get in trouble for going to a party. Sharpton jumped with both feet and created a feeding frenzy until he was made to look like a fool. No appology even to this day, eventhough he demanded one from IMUS over saying "nappy headed ho's". Matter of fact, he got sued and was ordered to pay that same DA for defamation some $350,000. Smart? Ok.
How about inciting riots, like Bensonhurst or Crown Heights? Both ended up in exactly what HE publicly called for which was to burn down a store and kill "jews"...catch is that in doing so he incited rioters to MURDER innocent people. Turns out again, no appology nor public outcry for his head, ala Don Imus. People get KILLED because of this bigot and it's swept under the rug, yet IMUS mutters a sentence and it's front page news for 6 mos. Smart? Ok. Fair. Ok.
How about Freddie's Fashion Mart vs Record Shack? Again, another riot stirred up by this race pimp. A BLACK CHURCH owns some real estate. They RAISE the rent on one it's tenants, a Jewish business owner. He in turn tries to raise the rent on a sublet tenant, a BLACK music store. Swoop in Al Sharpton and his cronies to call THAT foul. He incites another riot where he works the crowd into such a frenzy that begins with spitting and yelling racial slurs at patrons going into the store "in protest" culminating in a crazed rioter going in BURNING down the store and MURDERING 7 innocent people. Smart? OK.
How about the Duke Lacrosse fiasco? Hmmm, once again Al the man swoops down into a situation he knows only ONE THING about, a BLACK woman accuses some WHITES of rape.....and there he is sounding the almighty race alarm. Turns out, once again, HE was wrong about that too. Where's the appologies? When even Black entertainers asked him to appologize, he commented back that he will "not appologize for protecting civil rights..." Who's "civil rights" do you protect when you make up stories and permanently damage innocent people's lives? Smart? No BRILLIANT.![]()
Let's not forget Mr. Jackson:
What church is he "ordaned" from? Oh, yeah, HE'S NOT. He gave HIMSELF the "REV" title right after Dr. King's death. Right about the time he elected HIMSELF as spokes person for the NAACP. He only got an HONORARY degree for Theology when his SON was the head of an alumni association. Funny how that timing worked.
What about his shady and backstabbing dealings of the venerable NAACP? When a BLACK reporter uncovered Jackson's shady dealings with NAACP money and presented it to Joseph Lowery himself, he quickly turned Red Coat and turned on the very organization that was his claim to fame.
What about how Jackson proclaimed for years that "Dr. King died in my arms.."? Turns out he wasn't even on the balcony when he got shot. The picture that for years was used to support his claim, turned out to have been taken days BEFORE King was shot. He actually died with real activists at his side, NOT Jackson.
How about Jackson's super shady connections to street gangs and dirty family members? Normally a family member doing something wrong shouldn't be tied to an individual not doing it, but in this case it was Jesse's own BROTHER that JESSE hooked up in these shady business dealings that started it all. Jesse and his brother Noah were business partners with direct ties to gangs and street crimes. They were essentially trying to make shady dealings, ala Mafia style, seem squeeky clean. Didn't work. His brother got charged and convicted with Murder for hire and I think is still in Federal prison. Ironically enough all this surfaced during Jesse's failed run at the White House. Had it been Bush or Dean or even Gore, their "connections" to even anything resembling organized crime would have surely spelled direct disaster. For Jackson, it was never brought to light during his bid for being the first Black President. Funny how that works, huh?
How about what good ole kind Jesse calls his buddies the Jewish community? Imus says "nappy headed ho's" and the world stops. Jesse and Sharpton call Jews what? Yet there's no call for either of their heads yet.
I could go on and on about these "leaders of the Black community", but that's good enough for now. If you truly don't want them to be icons representing you, then you have to stand up and recognize what they really are.....racist bigots. The more the Black community shelters and embraces them, the more those fleas will come off them and onto you. Don't you see that when they get up on that podium of public opinion all this is what some people see? How is that representative or helpful to you? If it's not, then don't follow or endorse them. Chastize them out of that self appointed office and replace them with someone that does share the same values and morals as you. If you don't, then don't complain when people stand up and call a spade a spade.
Both are nothing more than racists bigots, no matter what the color of their skin is.
Yea, reperations was like 2002, but for some reason it keeps popping up. Once again, the people that support Reperations are people that can't stand on their own. Must be a good amount of them because it still has steam to this day.Originally Posted by JITB
Jamie, excellent post. Let me add that the Jena 6 fiasco was pretty much pure bull****. Let's go over the facts.
1. Some blacks want to sit under a tree. Why? Not because they wanted to, but because whites sat under the tree. So they felt entitled. Nothing wrong with that, free country.
2. Some whites didn't like it and hung nooses in the tree. Too which they were suspended, but not charged because there is no law on the books that gives a criminal penalty for hanging a piece of rope in a tree no matter what shape it's in.
3. Some blacks get mad and beat up a white kid, not necessarily the white kid that hung the rope, but a random white kid. Not only beat him up, they ganged his ass with 6 people.
4. The 6 get slapped in jail, because there IS a law against stomping the crap out of someone. Attempted Murder, too stiff but understandable considering 6 on 1.
5. In comes Super Sharpton and Black Wonder Jackson to rally behind the 6. Everyone saw this coming and is to be expected.
Here's where the stupidity begins.
No matter what promoted the beating, it was a crime. Therefor the kids are criminals. Superdude and the Black Wonder then proceed to have a march. "The Civil Rights movement on the new millenia" I belive they referred it too.
So they compared the legitimate Civil Rights movement, a powerful tool for change in the United States to 6 black thugs beating and stomping a defenseless, innocent white teenager at a party. It's all over the TV, radio and internet and guess who is at the front screaming for racial this and racial that? 2 dumbasses by the names of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
That is just another reason to add to Jamies why these 2 do more damage to the black race than they do to help it. Because no matter what good people do every day that flys under the radar, the pubcli only sees these 2 clowns poking their fingers into anything and everything they can to blow it up into a race problem.
So JITB, by your line of reasoning, without those 2 clowns we wouldn't have a problem where everything gets spun into a racial dispute because "ain't nobody tripping on the man anymore" and nobody points fingers. I call bull**** on that one. Sorry man.

So you want to start locking kids up for 25 years because of a fight at school? WowOriginally Posted by Glides
But the issue isnt the Jena 6, the point was.. what is Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton good for and I gave it to you. Its not an "any means necessary" position because in the grand scheme of things how do they effect you personally? They don't, anyone trying to find resolve in an issue will use any and every resource they have to accomplish the task at hand, Jackson and Sharpton are simply resources.
We can argue this till our fingers fall off but the gist of it is.. theres only two ways to get rid of either one of them:
1. End racism but that will never happen
2. Dead.. but once they're gone more will follow.. its inevitable.
What you failed to mention is the FACT there were 6 black students standing around, the altercation was 1 on 1, and the other 5 were charged as well. On top of that charged for attempted MURDER and the kid that got his ass whooped (for good reason) left the hospital with a band-aid and went to a school function that nightOriginally Posted by Glides
IMO Al Sharpton honestly believes what he says. Right, wrong or indifferent I can respect a man for speaking on what he believes. However, the most dangerous place on earth is between Jeese Jackson and a TV camera.
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are needed, at the least to add balance. Yeah they dont speak for the entire race but what they do have is media coverage. I do not know of anyone else in the black community who has the ability that they do to bring attention to situations like the Jena 6, Genarlow Wilson or Don Imus.
Are they leaders? No, they are a part of a driving force that gets these issues out there that would otherwise fall by the waste side. Everyone has their purpose, if you accept them for what they are and expect nothing more.. they're not all that bad.
I've said this before, I've seen Al Sharpton talk openly on a conservative show, they werent talking politics but simply life. The man is VERY smart, its almost as if he puts on an act because he knows exactly what he's doing and how he's perceived. But think about it, if Al Sharpton decided to be what others want him to be he would be boring as hell and at best have the notariety that Tavis Smiley has. Don't know who Tavis Smiley is? My point exactly..
i agree, he does bring the media coverage amd get it out for people to know. But form an outsiders view looking at sharpton.. it rarely helps the right message get to them.Originally Posted by tony
i know tavis smiley!..![]()
Jaime, I understand what you're saying..
As I said earlier they are not leaders but simply forces in the "movement." I have not bought into their teachings, to be honest I cannot stand to hear Sharpton speak because of what he has become. As far as Jesse Jackson goes, havent heard anything meaningful from him in a while.. matter of fact I'm pissed that he spoke out against Barack Obama.
Neither Sharpton nor Jackson are saints, I acknowledge that but their whole purpose is to be pro black and nothing more. True they are hypocrites for preaching equality although all they care about is the black race but expecting anything more would be fooling yourself.
They are what they are, media whores and they work it well. If they show up here in Douglasville for Genarlow Wilson then cameras follow.. mission accomplished. Suddenly an issue that may have been on the 3rd page of the metro section is a front page issue and THAT is what they are good for, they add that balance.
To be fair.. groups like the KKK add balance for the same reasons, as long as they act non violently. The purpose is to create an awareness and some things tend to go over the general public and gets picked up by these "extremes" being Sharpton, Jackson, KKK, etc.
A good example of an issue that the whites should have been all over is the murder/rape of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom, both are white and all 5 suspects are black. If the tables were turned it would have been considered a hate crime but they are not being charged as such. You can find the entire story here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channon..._Newsom_Murder
Tony, it seems to me that you are taking the "win by ANY means necessary" approach.
As you noticed and probably knew I was going to rebutt with, using the same logic then the KKK or Aryan Nation should be considered a "benefit" to their cause since they loudly proclaim their agenda too.
This type of mindset is why BOTH obviously don't understand PR very well. Yes, it does work to be the loud mouth in front of the TV, but only for so long. After that, people will see the strings and notice they are nothing more than pretenders.
I'll put it simply and directly: Until ANY group of people....Black, White, Brown, and Yellow....Until ANY religious group.....Baptist, Mormon, Muslim, Buddhist, etc.....ANY group that wants to succeed.....learns that in order to succeed you have to DETACH yourself from stereotypical negative influences that just perpetuate those same negative attitudes and views of YOU. If you let a clown speak up and say he's speaking FOR YOU, then don't complain when people don't believe you when you say you don't work in a circus. It's that simple. Someone that SAYS they are speaking for you and YOU don't agree, then stand up and say so. Keeping quiet and taking a passive role will not do anything but go to prove stereotypes are indeed true. Muslims haven't learned that lesson yet, and Blacks have never learned that lesson yet. Until they do, public spin doctors are going to be dictating how John Q. Public sees them, even if it's wrong.

I think that racism is nothing more than an idea in a person no matter race, sex, or creed that they are better than another person with differences of any kind. I also think that Al and Jesse have always been racist..but on one hand they are right about 10% of the cases they bring to light by using there race war tactics and it either seems to insue a riot or help the black community as a whole by bringing them together under one banner....I wouldn't call them leaders I would call them "promoters" sort of like Don King in a way. I also believed that the only reason that white people don't jump all over the race stuff is due to the verbal lashing they will take for speaking what they feel and then people turning it into a race thing when all they where trying to say was exactly like what Al or Jesse would say and it really isn't that big of a deal to the white person and wasn't even their intention to make a racial comment...It also doesn't help when you don't have a figure heads like Al or Jesse to charge forward holding that flag of racism and backing every word you say even if it is wrong....as for Don Imos...he shouldn't have said that on national television but what he said couldn't have been any worse than what black rappers say about women...I feel that racism will never go away due to the fact that people have the ability to take a person and find something they don't like about them and express that to other people and if enough people don't like those similar traits then it grows into a hatred which then leads to the formation of extremist groups like the Arayan Brotherhood and the Black Panthers which then brings violence against eachother and then all of the public is exposed to this hatred due to our extreme coverage ability of our media and a little sets in on people when a white person sees a black person fire bomb someones business because the owner isn't black...or when you hear of white people bombing a church because the people inside aren't the same as they are...and it builds in there head that maybe these people are right about this and it turns normal people into racist on a small level and that is where stereotypes set in and form these racial views of everyone and its a never ending trend because people have a little thing called opinions.
