What the hell is wrong with Jesse Jackson? He's a hater that's what. When he ran for president in "88" he came to Binghamton, where I was an undergrad to give a campaign speech. I remember being so excited and proud, as were many of the black students on campus. And while many things have happened since then "hymie town", babies out of wedlock, etc... I have always keep that feeling of pride for him. Well no more I am ashamed of and for him. He has given great example to the selfish, out of touch, jealousy that clearly exists amongst some members of the "old guard" of the civil rights movement. Crabs in a barrel...
Kudos to Jesse Jackson Jr. for speaking out so strongly against the comments attributed to his father. I think it took a lot of courage to put family aside and publicly condemn his father's remarks. What I particularly loved is how he addressed him as "Rev. Jackson" as opposed to referring to him as his father. His remarks are below:
“I’m deeply outraged and disappointed in Reverend Jackson’s reckless statements about Senator Barack Obama. His divisive and demeaning comments about the presumptive Democratic nominee — and I believe the next president of the United States — contradict his inspiring and courageous career. …Instead of tearing others down, Barack Obama wants to build the country up and bring people together so that we can move forward, together — as one nation. The remarks like those uttered on Fox by Reverend Jackson do not advance the campaign’s cause of building a more perfect Union.”
Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.
Good black...
Last night I watched for the first time the show She' Got the Look on TV land. Its the show where they we looking to find the next great model and all of the contestants were over 30 yrs. old. Well, last nights episode was the finale and the winner was a sister named Tanya. She is a mother of 5 from California and she is simply gorgeous. She is 45 years old and she was one of many beautiful sisters featured on the show. She will be featured on the cover of next month's issue of SELF magazine.

Who was the guy he was talking to on Fox? I still haven't figured that out...
I'm not sure either, but I love how he didn't quite commit. He just gave a blank look and a nod. Maybe he realized that the mic might be on.
The guy Messy Jessie was speaking too was UnitedHealth Group executive Dr. Reed V. Tuckson.
Clearly he 1) knew what station he was on 2) realized that it was a break and the mic was probably still on.
