Do you suppose Al Sharpton will be screaming and yelling about the egregious comments made by Jesse Jackson? Shouldn’t Don Imus be just outraged by the grotesque comment? After all, Obama is half white, though he doesn’t talk about it much.
Trying to stay as neutral as possible, I find Jesse Jackson’s comments more prejudice than the ones Imus made. Imus did not call the Rudger’s Girls Basketball team Nappy Headed Hoes, he said they looked like a bunch of Nappy Headed Hoes. Jesse said he wanted to cut Barack Obama’s balls off. It doesn’t get any more direct than that.
To make matters worse, as tasteless as Imus’ comments were, no one questions whether or not they were made in jest. Clearly they were. Jesse Jackson’s comments were definitely made in anger and directed specifically at [his friend] Barack Obama.
I sure hope Jackson has to do multiple public apologies, meet with the Obamas and ask for their forgiveness and ask how many millions of his dollars spent on their behalf will keep the Obamas from needing psychological help and is publicly humiliated for at least the next year.
Do you suppose Jackson was addressing the white half of Obama? Crap! That makes it racial!
