Jesse Jackson has commented that Barack Obama "acted like he was white" in Obama's response to the Jena 6 situation.  That type of sentiment is exactly why this country will NEVER be homogeneous.  We don't need to worry about segregation in our schools because it exists everywhere else in our lives. 

Barack Obama acts like a human being.  He doesn't let the color of his skin dictate how he acts or what he does.  And that's exactly how anyone running for office in this country SHOULD act.

hello. obama is acting in a way that keeps him separated from the known marching and speaking and parading and stirring up of people. he is naive in some ways but he has been in other parts of the world and he sees through their eyes looking at the Jena marching thing and it shows that part of black america that is still living like they did in africa during the tribe land wars which we all read about in our history class. obama is a 'bi' person. meaning he is blank when he is before a black crowd and he is white when he is before a white crowd but then, as president, he is going to have a prob with his health turning colors many times a day. and i am afraid he is going to get very mixed up in his mind and pull a trigger or push a button at the wrong time because of his color condition.
thank you. skeeter.

hello.
jessie is saying this to put pressure on obama to jack up the talking and doing.
evidently obama is not feisty enough.
i LOL at rev jackson and rev sharpton seeing themselves as a moral compass for the black population.
it is sad black folk let them do it.
it is like always having to suck their hind BLEEP just to keep and make them happy
i very well know that you have alot of other very sharp and intelligent black folk who would and could do a better job for you.
thank you

Jesse Jackson needs to sit down somewhere and retire in obscurity. He works my last nerve. The older he gets, the more nonsensical he becomes. I'm starting to wonder if old age is finally catching up to him because he has said some off the wall things lately. Senile...that's the word I was looking for! LOL.

As far as Obama acting white...what in the hell does that mean? Speaking in complete sentences, being civil, and eloquently articulating his thoughts on various subjects makes him white? OMG. Jesse, PLEASE, RETIRE. That's ridiculous. Folks, pay attention because this is an exact description of how black people can descriminate against each other. To say he's acting white is ridiculously stupid and laughable because there's no such thing. I say it doesn't exist because

I haven't had one person in my lifetime of sound mind explain to me exactly what the hell that means. And I'd suffice it to say that nobody can answer it sensibly or with any real measure of intelligence because THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ACTING BLACK OR ACTING WHITE.

There is a such thing as acting intelligent and like you have some sense or acting like a stupid jack-BLEEP in any given moment, and Jesse Jackson's latest conformation of senility fits the latter description.

Thanks to Sharpton and Jackson, this Jena 6 incident has set racial tensions back 50 years. They won't quit with their instigating trouble. They are so full of hate that they just make matters worse.

The sad thing of this is,Obama may have been the right candidate for the office and not to mention the first black president.

I think uncle Jessis has done a lot of damage and needs to do some damage control.

hello.
i am looking and thinking of what you said.
would there have been a march is not for rev jackson and rev sharp?
if there was a march, without their instigation, who would have run it and organized it?
is there good black leadership there in Jena?
if there is, would the whites there have been open to them to organize a march?
do you believe mychal bell is really any worse figher than the white kids?
they all hit hard and then kick and stomp.
i have been there and done that myself with some people down near the border of texas and mexico. you have to know how to kick to come out alive.
what i read of Jena is like they have bad race relations there anyway without the march.
then if that is so how could the march set it back 50 years?
50 years would take us back to around the time of 1957.
can anyone remember 1957 and what was going on in Jena then?
when people open up for discussion i take them seriously.
thus my questions.
i hope somebody can help.
i was discriminated against growing up on the border texas and mexico.
i was the only white kid in the area for 5 blocks.
i had bad things said to me.
i had to learn to fight.
thank you.

My disappointment with him and Hillary is that did not have the testicular fortitude to vote against the "General Betrayus" ad in the NY times by MOVEON.ORG. And I think what Jesse Jackson was wrong for saying that though.
He is always saying stuff that puts his foot in his mouth. He needs to learn to keep his mouth shut and have someone speak for him.

hello.
i feel so sorry for our military.
politics pushes them around and plays through them.
politics is the dirtiest and most dishonest profession that exists to be called honorable.
politics starts wars.
politics kills and desecrates those who are better than they are.
americans as far as the common man is becoming more and more unhappy now.
you see in in the blogs.
i know from my history lesson that in 1789 the french people got enough.
they did some 'bad'
i hope we never reach that stage.
but yes it is so sad we have to be dishonest to our hearts just to try to be elected.
so sad.
thank you.

its funny that jesse Jacksons son wrote the speach that obama read, does that mean jesse's son is too white. jesse is one of the most racist people I have ever seen, people should tell him to shut his mouth and this country would be a better place for all.

I am not racist at all. But why is it that the people who fought against slavery and racism are the people who are the most racist of all? As far as Jackson and Sharpton are concerned, I believe that they are trying to start a race war and have been for years. I also believe that the Jena 6 were in the wrong and they deserve to be punished. Six against one is a bunch of BS. What ever happened to a fair fight? What is it with all this gang crap? This world is going to the dogs!

Skeeter, thanks for your comments. I appreciate the supportive comments.

AriezWolfmoon, you said:

"But why is it that the people who fought against slavery and racism are the people who are the most racist of all?"

I find it rather interesting when people make a negative statement as if it applies to an entire ethnic group or speaks to the character of people just because the hue of their skin and ethic background is similar.

Having said that, you'd have to know the people who fought against slavery and racism to make a statement like that. If you mean BLACK people, know this: just like people of other ethnic groups vary in their position or stance on various subjects, SO DO BLACK PEOPLE. It's not like we all share one brain!

And what do you mean are "the most racist of all"? How much racism have you experienced and what do you have to compare it to? Have you experienced racism at the hands of black people, white people, Hispanics, Asians, Latinos? I ask that question because you would have to have experience racism at the hands of more than one group so that you have something to compare it to.

Translation: unless you have experienced racism at the hands of multiple groups of different ethnicities, you can't make a statement like, they are "the most racist of all." "Most" as in comparison to what?

And as for the Jena 6: yes, they were wrong. And they do deserve to pay for the actions, but not with their lives. The problem is not that they were charged-- it's HOW they were charged and for what crimes they were charged.

Also, a lot

Oops, didn't mean to post twice. It cut off my first comment!

Continued:

Also, a lot transpired before the incident that landed them in jail, and it's worth pointing out that a black kid got beat up by some white students and nothing happened to them. A white kid pulled a gun on some black kids, who took it from him and contacted police just to be charged with theft!!! C'mon. If you're going to charge people, charged ALL OF THEM, not just the ones that don't fit the mold of what you find to be without fault. Either charge them all-- the white kids that perpetuated the hate crime by hanging the nooses from the tree, the white kid who pulled a gun, the white kids who jumped the black kid, and the black kids who jumped the white kid-- or let them ALL go.

Seriously, we need some critical thinkers and fair-minded people in our legislature. The law should apply across the board and local governments should not be able to use personal influence or community status to excuse those who did as abominally wrong as someone else.

Oh, by the way:

A person who starts a sentence off with, "I am not racist at all" is probably a racist. You don't have to qualify it if it doesn't apply to you. Remember that.

I'm the mother of two wonderful children, now out on their own. I find, as I get older, that I'm more conscious of social, political, economic, and environmental issues. I've also become more vocal, which isn't always a good thing! I love the outdoors, golfing, fishing, reading, cooking, tennis, photography, and NASCAR.
