Jesse Jackson wants to cut Obama's nuts off

[El Kabong]

How were Imus' comments about Pacman Jones taken out of context? He provided the context in which they were taken.

Well buddy I heard it in context and Imus meant what he said, he meant "Pacman is black and got targeted by the police because of that"...why would Imus a guy who has DEDICATED (and continues to dedicate) ENTIRE SHOWS to race relations do that? No one he has had on said what he said was wrong and believe you me they would if they thaught he meant that "because Pacman is black he gets in trouble"....that's LAZY to think that you probably didn't even know about those shows about race relations but oh well you won't care because your opinion is already formed and you obviously dislike Imus....oh well I know I'll cry myself to sleep tonight because of it



Kirkland....what have I said that's racist? I asked you a question you answer it by just calling me racist for failing to stereotype ONLY black people as having the ability to be nappy or ho's. I'm equal opportunity offensive I see PLENTY of nappy white people and plenty of white ho's and plenty of other races and ethnicities that are nappy and ho's....it's not ONLY black people that are but if you say so....which if you're calling Imus' remarks racist you're doing then fine have it your way from here on it's only blacks that can be nappy or ho's.

Once again Kirkland this thread isn't about who is going to be a better President this is about how Jesse Jackson is a race pimp and how he's threatened by Obama stealing his limelight. And you recently said you weren't ignorant well not accepting the crux of this thread you're showing your ignorance or your stubborness you're very good at it whichever it is.

If you brand an entire black women's college basketball team as hos or nappy-headed then you're perpetuating racist stereotypes. What part of that don't you understand? Certainly Imus's employers understood eventually.

Jackson hasn't threatened anybody. He's the victim of another manufactured outrage by the right.

[El Kabong]

Rutgers has white girls on their team and had white girls on the team when Imus made those comments AND the Tennessee team did have black players on their team.


Jackson hasn't threatened anyone? Jackson gets away with corporate blackmail it's how he makes his living....he finds something offensive threatens a boycott and gets big money NASCAR, Toyota, etc. he's gotten a lot of them.

As for being "manufactured" that's fucking stupid he said what he said infront of a camera and while he was microphoned....how fucking stupid does one have to be to say what he said in that situation He could have waited until after the interview to have his private conversation but I guess thinking that makes me a racist, I'm happy you're here to call me out of it Kirkland

The vast majority of Americans ans Imus's employers found it racist. I'm happy to leave it there.

Jesse jackson does exactly what radical clerics Pat Robertson, James Dobson do. They all use the same shakedown tactics to make money and influence politicians, just Pat and James are far more successful than Jesse and don't get criticism or coverage of what they do. Let's agree that Jackson was stupid to say something in front of a camera even though he wasn't on air at the time and leave it at that.


I notice you still haven't said anything about the whiners comment. George Bush's latest corporate socialist bailout of Fanny and Freddy to prevent economic disaster caused by his own policies could see $10 gasoline and huge tax increases/double digit interest rates. How do you feel about that, or that the architect of scrapping all the banking regulations that led to the current meltdown is now McCain's chief economic advisor and could become the new Secretary to the Treasury?

[El Kabong]

Imus was the victim of a slow news week and everyone knows it


Some Americans ARE whiners(I figure you'll take time to try to aim a barb at me after reading that so go ahead).....some people like to complain and some people like to hype up this talk of recession which we're not yet in and some people like to think we're on the verge of another "Great Depression" and that is fucking ridiculous if you know anything about the "Great Depression" people are still buying Starbucks coffee and some people are still buying SUV's so things aren't ALL bad.


You can't just allow Freddy and Fannie to collapse that would be bad for the WORLD not just America.

Gramm isn't going to be the Secretary of the Treasury that is beyond frivilous...they were considering him as Ambassador to Belarus, Sec of the Treasury is a bit of a stretch from there

Some Americans are whiners? That's a very elitist comment Lyle.

I'm surprised to see you endorsing socialism too. A socialist elitist. How about that.

[amat]

Some people are buying SUVs like some people are ordering caviar at Applebees.

It's not elitist it's a fact but to what extent it's a fact is up for questioning, some English people whine too, some Germans whine, and some Italians whine....and some French people don't.

The media is just jumping all over this story of how everyone is suffering but I hate to break it to them but I'm doing just fine.

Gas prices will go down if America stops being oil prudes...we tell everyone else to drill the fuck out of their countries and the fucking environmentalists here bitch about any drilling OR refining we could do here....it's crazy! Mad Made global warming is a myth

Now what do YOU think about Obama cutting Corporate taxes

Yes, my mind is made up. People form opinions based on the things they hear. Just like you have. You figure because Imus has shows on race relations that he isn't racist. I think regardless of the shows he puts on that he is, that those shows are probably more spin for him to polish up his sullied image. It's just a difference of opinion. The mere fact that Imus wasn't able to articulate what he meant the day after he said what he said about Jones is just evidence to me of his floundering like a fish out of water. I heard what he said and it made no sense. If anyone TRULY believes Pacman is being targeted for being black and nothing else you are a sucker! Pacman is being targeted because he keeps breaking the law and getting caught. Imus' comment either makes no sense or it was the further ranting of a racist. Let's see, someone who's gotten into trouble over racially insensitive remarks in the past, who couldn't deny using racial epithets in the past- I wonder which one it was. And stop it, Lyle, you and me both know I'm not personally attacking you don't try to act like because we don't agree that I'm trying to come after you. That's not the case in the least. I respect your opinion and hell, you knocked my socks off by showing you know more than I would expect out of anybody on here (some things that I don't even know), but at times you seem to knee-jerk lash out and us disagreeing certainly isn't a situation where we need to go down that path. Hell, you just gave me rep on us agreeing about the Klitschko-Thompson fight. I have my opinion on Imus, you have yours on him. The fact of it is, neither one of us really knows if he is a racist so the only thing we have to go on is the things he says and the things he does and we have separate interpretations of those things.

You called me lazy because I'm black, didn't you? Racist bastard.
