Why do black people allow him to speak for them. Atleast they have brobama now. People like jesse jackson only hurt the black cause.
black people do not allow Jesse to speak them...he just assings himself the duty...you see the Black Church was at the forefront of the Civil Rights movement, so it's taboo to speak out against it....plus nothing but old school March and Sing black people follow him.
Perhaps if Obama would use his platform to publicly call out Jackson and Sharpton as the race-baiting opportunists they are he would earn some respect among normal people. He won't do it, though.
you know damn well he isn't going to do that and cannot do not ( it would be political suicide)...and Jesse and Al do serve their purpose in by calling attention to certain things, because of their "celebrity", certain injustices don't get media play...It's just that they used their "celebrity" in a wrong way, most of the time, I wish they would shut up the majority of the time.
