marion: So any suggestion that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have made quite a good living off of this cult of victimization and blaming whites is racist?
You seem to have a knee jerk reaction to any criticism leveled at someone of color. I noticed earlier in the thread that when someone pointed up an issue with Obama, ethnicity invariably slipped in and race became an issue.
Neither Jackson nor Sharpton has a particularly good record when it comes to holding blacks accountable, especially black males. That Jackson would find it such an affront that Obama preaches accountability and responsibility underscores this.
And, no, I am not racist. I am bigoted, however, but mainly against stupidity and ignorance, and Jets fans.
