Don Imus the radio personality called some African-American female baseketball players out of their names by labeling them as nappy-headed streetwalker. In essence, Imus smeared the reputation of the talented sista in an attempt to undermine their accomplishments. Don Imus knew what he was doing the moment he urged the words into an open microphone. What Imus did not know was the backlash he would have to suffer so utter what he would have in private in a public sphere.
The backlash cost Imus is job..albeit temporarily cause raced white folks got MAD!!
So, what was the Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr. thinking when he suggested to another brotha for removal of the another fella brotha's testes? If calling for the castration of Barack Obama was not enough, there is more in the report. But, that's not all that Senior Jackson uttered about the brotha who will be the Democratic candidate for President. Fox's news station is being pressured to release the tape of the Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr. calling the Democratic Candidate Barack Obama the N..Word.
Now when Reverend Jeremiah Wright talked about raced white America. Obama was ordered to denounce him. Obama waffled for a minute and than denounced his fella brotha. But that's how it goes in the political world. So what's up with Obama denouncing Jesse?
Is this Jesse way of pandering to the right wingers with Obama placing Jesse just outside the door of the Democratic Convention scheduled for August. Or this what happens to an old man who has played and toyed with his people for so long?
Perhaps its time to say so long Jesse so long.
