Jesse Wants Nuts
Well, talk about an interesting turn of events.
I think now is the time that certain people need to speak up, however they are ominously quiet.
They have never been slow to react to this type situation before, condemning people and calling for them to be fired.
An example of that would be Dog The Bounty Hunter.
Some of you may remember Dog was having a private phone conversation with his son who in turn taped the conversation.
Keep in mind his was a private phone conversation that his son sold to the tabloids.
In that private conversation Dog used the "N" word, and once leaked to the public, Dog was vilified for those actions.
"Dog Chapman should not have a show. That show should be taken off the air!"
That's the opinion of prominent civil rights leader Roy Innis, who has served as the chairman of the Congress for Racial Equality (CORE) since 1968.
Innis was shocked and outraged when The ENQUIRER played Dog Chapman's racist telephone conversations for him.
"This man should not be held up as a role model for children," Innis told The ENQUIRER. "He has venom deep in his soul. This is a picture of his heart — a revelation of his true nature.
Innis believes that cable network A&E needs to take swift action in response to Dog's vicious outburst.
"He needs to answer for his behavior," says Innis.
"When someone gets the opportunity to use the airwaves, he becomes a role model, whether he likes it or not. Dog Chapman should not be in that position, posing as a good guy.
"His comments show that he certainly is not a good guy."
Sharpton Open to Meeting With 'Dog'
Reality Star Reached Out to Sharpton After His Racist Rant Went Public
"As a minister I would be inclined to meet with you despite the racist and grotesque things I heard you say," Sharpton wrote in a letter released to the media. "If you wish to meet with me somewhere on the road that is fine, but be assured that I will not sanitize the kind of hate language that leads to the hate action that has left so many people vulnerable in America today."
Sharpton said that his National Action Network will not condemn A&E's decision to suspend the program despite the use of the slur in what Chapman thought was a private conversation because "what was said in private is now public, and they have a right to deal with their public perception."
“I think that forgiveness is always in order, but forgiveness without paying a price is asking for amnesty.” - Rev. Sharpton
Isn’t the whole point of forgiveness to accept it and move on? Isn’t what Sharpton is advocating here is someone paying penance for their sins?
If Sharpton is a Christian pastor, does Jesus tell us that forgiveness should come with the condition of paying a price?
Last but not least, always at the forefront with an opinion, and always promoting the person lose their job for what he thinks is wrong is, of course, Jesse Jackson.
He also wanted Dog fired and for him to "pay."
Jesse told the world that the use of the "N" word was unacceptable by anyone.
That was a year ago and what has Jesse got to say today?
Fox News Says Jackson Used Racial Slur
CHICAGO - The Rev. Jesse Jackson used the N-word during a break in a TV interview where he criticized presidential candidate Barack Obama, Fox News confirmed Wednesday.
The longtime civil rights leader already came under fire this month for crude off-air comments he made against Obama in what he thought was a private conversation during a taping of a "Fox & Friends" news show.
In additional comments from that same conversation, Jackson is reported to have said Obama was "talking down to black people," and referred to blacks with the N-word when he said Obama was telling them "how to behave."
In addition to using the "N" word he said he would like to cut Obama's nuts off.
When Jesse was exposed his response was:
"I am deeply saddened and distressed by the pain and sorrow that I have caused as a result of my hurtful words. I apologize again to Senator Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, their children as well as to the American public," Jackson said in a written statement. "There really is no justification for my comments and I hope that the Obama family and the American public will forgive me. I also pray that we, as a nation, can move on to address the real issues that affect the American people."
He wants to move on. Oh I'll bet he does.
Interestingly civil rights leader Roy Innis and the Rev. Al Sharpton have been very slow to react to this latest racial slur by Jesse.
Here we have a guy who is a reverend of no church, running the Rainbow PUSH Coalition which is where he gets his money, who uses what is purported to be an unacceptable word and their silence is deafening.
The other thing the reverend did was condone maiming a presidential candidate by wanting to cut his nuts off. That comment alone should warrant a close look by the secret service as a threat.
Jackson said Obama was "talking down to black people," and referred to blacks with the N-word when he said Obama was telling them "how to behave."
Here is how Obama talked down to the black audience:
" But we also have to demand more from ourselves," he said. "Now, I know there's some who've been saying I've been too tough talking about responsibility. But here at the NAACP, I'm here to report I'm not going to stop talking about it. Because ... no matter how many 10-point plans we propose, or how many government programs we launch -- none of it will make any difference if we don't seize more responsibility in our own lives."
Taking responsibility, he said, means turning off televisions and putting away video games and providing direct guidance to children.
"Teaching our daughters to never allow images on television to tell them what they are worth; teaching our sons to treat women with respect, and to realize responsibility does not end at conception; that what makes them a man is not the ability to have a child but to raise one," he said. "That's a message we need to send."
To me that statement applies to all races and is not talking down to black people. However based on Jesse's comment, he does not think that black people should take any responsibility with their families.
To be consistent with condemning racial comments, what Roy innis said about Dog would also apply to Jesse:
"This man should not be held up as a role model for children," Innis told The ENQUIRER. "He has venom deep in his soul. This is a picture of his heart — a revelation of his true nature.
"He needs to answer for his behavior," says Innis.
"When someone gets the opportunity to use the airwaves, he becomes a role model, whether he likes it or not. He should not be in that position, posing as a good guy."
"His comments show that he certainly is not a good guy."
Jesse Jackson should be fired from his reverend's job of his nonexistent church, be removed from any association with or income from the Rainbow Push Coalition, be required to take sensitivity classes and ask for forgiveness, and as Rev. Al so eloquently put it, forgiveness without paying a price is asking for amnesty. Therefore Jesse needs to pay and pay dearly.
Equality (Equality commonly refers to the idea of equal treatment) is a two way street!!
