Just goes to show the bias and hypocrisy African American leaders...

Jesse Jackson confirmed of saying hateful and derogatory remarks gets nothing but a blip on the news radar. Not even a slap on the hand nor a fine for things he says. When others have said things he has or similar to things he has, he goes all out, gets on every tv news station, organizes marches, and strikes, etc... I just hate the double standards blacks have when it comes to making 'slip ups' and mistakes.

What I find rediculous is that Jamie Masada fine comedians $50 for using the word. That is rediculous. OMFG! When you though the world couldn't get any stupider people are making money off people using a word. Sure it may be offensive but you have rights to say it. It may make people angry but you can say it, and I think Jamie Masada could get prosecuted for that, but I guess since they are his comedians he can do it, but he's hovering over a fine line. ferrari2001

Well atleast the moneys going to good use, but still everybody should have the freedom to say what they please. Fine free.

Agreed. Jackson was outraged when Michael Richards used the "N" word, and even "accepted" his apology. The contradictions, racist ramarks, and hypocrisy of black leaders is more often than not swept under the rug and forgotten. Would anybody take seriously the word of a person who publicly told outright lies, was sued for lying, and lost the lawsuit? Only if his name is Al Sharpton. Who, by the way reacted much more harshly to Imus than he did to Jackson, and Imus didn't even use the "N" word. Double standard? Indeed.

People don't have the right to say anything they want especially without social or civil consequences.kakkarott23

i don't see double standards because as soon as one of these so called (quote - black leaders -unquote) do something stupid i see it every i go .....newspapers, mags, T.V. radio, and now this forum.....i don't see anything being covered up. there are haters out there and here to insure this.

The double standards blacks have when it comes to making slip ups and mistakes...? Shut up.-Twilight-

Amazing, your argument is so convinsing!

Why is there black magazines, black entertainment awards, black history month, black this, black that, but never any white oriented events, magazines or months? If there where there would be accusations of racism and riots in the steets. Theres a double standard there, dont be so blind that you fail to see it.

lmao you do realize that a lot of black folks don't like the current crop of black leaders. "**** black leaders, cause whites ain't got none leading them"-Nas

IMO Messy Jesse needs to go away...same with Sharpton.

There is an enormous double standard. Which do you think is worse: not voting for Barack Obama because he's black, or voting for him because he's black? I know too many people, most of whom are black, who have taken up the latter position.nbtrap1212

this country has gotten so F-up that no one wants to take the job of cheif in command but an old G.W.Bush CLOSE friend and a black man who says it's time for change because the previous presidents messed everything up. I see right thru most ppl here.....and itz ashame what i see at times. i used to wonder why but i guess itz genetics

well i can't see me voting for McCain because he is not intouch at all with what needs and he is close friends with Bush. ( did a thread already on this, shall i resurrect the thread...maybe, depends ) PPl hate Bush but they want McCain because he's White...i know this is true, my head dosen't screw on and off. itz senseless to debate it and i almost hope McCain wins so he can mess things up more....just so ppl can see how naive they were again and start crying again, because Bush is playing puppet master again.

to be honest i kinda don't care because if Obama does become prez....he'll prolly get assassinated any way......i along with others can see it coming, especially how ppl supported Hiliary and dispised Mccain now they flip flopped, weak. USA will get what they deserve

maybe itz because they are a minority that have been crapped on with no retribution and feel proud to have made something for them selves, is there something wrong with that....i don't see anything racist about it but it seems you are trying to make it that way.....personaly i wouldn't mind if it was the other way around....as long as there is no disrepect involved.

Where are you? I just watched the afternoon news and nothing was mentioned. I am talking about the mass protests, the organized walks, etc... that would of gone on by now IF a white person did the same thing.

what are you talking about TC...every day i'm hearing about this moron Jessie Jackson. where are you living.... under a rock?shyskillz

if you don't know and understand the history of the country then i guess you wouldn't know why? if a white man said these things to a black person ( giving the history of these words and actions ) then yes it will be problems because like i said there were broken promises, and bad history. Today itz good to let the past be the past but you or i are not the ones to tell all the ppl that been thru it to move on..itz arrogant an not fair and thats why youngins don't make the laws.

Since America's inception until a mere 40 years ago it was a Euro-centric country. White Supremacy was hegemonic, there never had to be any explicit "white" this or "white" that because America was white, it didn't have to be explicitly stated. I think these black labelled institutions are a way of asserting the presence of black people in America, as for so long their suffering was ignored and their humanity denied. Everybody clings to an indentity, lots of Americans are extremely proud of their different European heritages. I think their is such a thing as black American heritage, until a few decades ago black Americans were forced to share a common experience, to be both black and American. To undergo a struggle to re-concile these two identities and try to hold on to some self-respect and survive living in a country in which you are deemed less than human.

America still has to come to terms with itself, yes there are double standards everywhere, these are bad, but it's useless descending into bitter indignation over what are usually petty superficialities.

Irrelevant. It's still what white supremacists say about blacks, whether you know any of them or not.

Social consequences are almost always inevitable, whether they're positive or negative.

how is he right...i don't remember encountering any of these cowards. are you telling me this is fact, are you telling me they know every black person...sounds like stereotyping to me.

Is that including yourself? Because you told me before that you thought African-Americans commited crimes because of there genetics. So I guess you are a white supremacist?
