ParticipantJohn: Well, as the old expression goes: You do learn something new every day. I didn’t know that about Jackson. I recall seeing the picture from the balcony and Jesse was prominently pictured there.

Sharpton uses the same tactics, and intimidates his targets with a combination of accusations of racism, white guilt and good old fashioned guile.
Jackson is also a media junkie and I doubt he appreciates Obama’s rock star status with the MSM.
What is truly a shame is that Jackson was involved with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (you can see Jackson on the hotel balcony where King was shot, pointing in the direction of the shooter, James Earl Ray, in a photograph taken on the day of the shooting) during the toughest part of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. To go from there to where he is now…

It is quite a thread, though.

Obama turning out to be a lightweight. #236964Participantmarion: Unlike Obama and Bill Cosby, Jackson has avoided confronting Black America about the issues of accountability and responsibility, especially when it comes to fatherhood and parental responsibilities. Further, he has stood in defense of gangsta rap as being socially acceptable in spite of the violent, misogynistic and, yes, racist elements, as well as the histories of the performers themselves.
Instead of arguing for individual responsibility, Jackson has insisted that the problems in the black communities are largely due to whites and that it is the responsibility of whites and government to fix the problems.
In the linked story, Jackson made the comment about Obama talking down to black folks, which, to my ear, sounds an awful lot like Jackson saying black folks feel that responsibility is beneath them. Where does Jackson get off speaking for an entire population?
