Rev. Jesse’s Comments Regarding Obama’s Genital Area
Why Reverend Jesse why? So you really want to castrate the guy? Now that’s gangsta.
I respect the fact that Jackson has paved the way for Obama to be in the position he’s in, but this comment shows how fake people can be. But this isn’t this what American politics is all about? I’m sure Jesse’s not the only one who feels this way. He just got caught slippin’.
I’ve posted before how much I hate to see people say something they really believe and then apologize when the public questions their motives. If he disagrees with Obama on a certain issue, then he needs to stick by it. All he’s done is given the media another distraction to take away from the real issues. I’m glad to see they squashed it. Talk about an uncomfortable situation. Jesse you just lost your cabinet seat.
Here’s a link to a video on CNN showing Jesse trying to explain his comment. I didn’t buy it. The Youtube video below shows the actual comment.

Jesse may as well have said, “Tell me how my a** tastes”. Ironically, I think there is more animosity in his comments than Shaq’s. I don’t know why he said what he said and I don’t want to speculate. However, you can be critical of someone’s tactics without want to separate a man’s berries from the tree.

Man, I don’t know what to say about him. This is a time where we should all come together, regardless of differences. But, he decides to do this. Oh, well. It’s Jesse Jackson. We should have all know this was going to happen.

Hey Brad,
Good to hear from you. Thanks for the comment.

That’s probably some stuff Jesse used to commonly hear when he was on the civil rights trail back in the 60’s. He probably got threatened with that all the time. I guess he wants to see if it’s really effective?
This just shows me that his support for Obama (if he really supports him) is just lip service. It also shows you that Black folk still have a problem with disagreeing with each other. Sometimes we still feel that you can’t have an alternative view point for fear of being seen as the “sell out”. If Jesse didn’t agree with him and doesn’t truly support him, then he should be forthright. Instead he puts on a front and ultimately his true feelings come out at the wrong time. And now look who gets pounce on it like a hyena on raw meat–Bill O’Reilly and Fox News!

Brothers should make a pact not to say anything dealing with another man’s scrotum area.

Hyena is fitting for O’Reilly.
