| Jesse Jackson injects race into HC debate - say it ain't so!
Well, JJ is at it again. This time challenging the blackness of Congressman Artur Davis. Quote: |
At a CBC Foundation reception on Wednesday night, Jackson denounced Davis’s vote, saying, “We even have blacks voting against the healthcare bill from Alabama. You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.”
| Rev. Jesse Jackson injects race into healthcare debate with Davis comments - TheHill.com
Artur Davis is likely to be the next governor of Alabama. While I don't agree with him on many issues, I do respect his penchant for going against various establishments to do what he thinks is right. He's still a politician and his vote against HC may have simply been aimed at winning the gov. race but I think he's the front runner anyway.
A while back, he publicly apologized for voting against more oversight of Fannie/Freddie admitting that the committee (Frank's) missed the boat on that. AFAIK, he's the only D to admit that.
Having JJ insult him makes him more likable in my book!

| Isn't Jesse's statement implying that black people have no capacity for providing for their own healthcare and require that the government provide it? And wouldn't that be, in and of itself, a baseless racist statement?
Sometimes this stuff just gets unbelievable...

| Speaking as someone who is in favour of healthcare reform, this is one of the most stupid comments I have ever seen. What a complete moron.
I saw Sharpton outside my office a few months back, the man just oozes unpleasantness. A really nasty character. | |

Sometimes this stuff just gets unbelievable... | That is 100% correct.
Thats why many hard working, self-sustaining black men, and women can't stand him.

Dumbest thing I've ever heard. Bush never said anything close to being this stupid. What a freaking idiot. I had no idea that years ago when it was first mentioned that America needed to reform health care that we were doing it as a favor to the black people in this country. Are white people, brown people, and yellow people not allowed to use the reformed health-care? Is it just for black people? Jackson is retarded. If you disagree with healthcare reform thats your opinion, not everybody is for it. Jackson is the most racist man in America, hell david duke aint as bad as he is, as jackson wants to tell other black people that their not black enough and then tell black people that white people hate them. IDIOT

| All JJ and AS have to say is, this or that person is racist and blam he's on the news. Their tongues are powerful swords and, unfortunately, a lot of AA's still hang on their every mind numbing, poisonous words.
I honestly believe a majority of the civilized world does not need JJ or AS showing up when someone has been wronged to know that they have been wronged. The Duke scandal was a big pie in the face that wasn't.
They are two of the most obvious self promoters out there. What do they do for a living? How do they get paid? Do they still have churches that they pastor in? | |
