I Want to Cut his Nuts Off – Jesse Jackson
You've probably already heard, but "The Rev" is at it again. And by At it, I mean saying ridiculous things that nobody cares about and then apologizing for them. As if it wasn't bad enough that Jesse Jackson is the worst thing to happen to the black community since 5 syllable names that end with "ita", he was recently caught on microphone saying that presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama was talking down to black people, and that The Rev wanted to "Cut his Nuts Off".
When I first heard about Jesse Jackson's ludicrous remarks I laughed and asked myself "Is This Guy Serious?", but then I started to think about how great it is for Barack Obama that Jesse Jackson is doing things like this that alienate him from the Obama campaign. The more that people see Barack Obama isn't interested in the likes of people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, the better off he'll end up in the long run. What kills me though is the hypocrisies spewed by these guys. Jesse Jackson stands on a soapbox all day delivering messages of tolerance, and as soon as he thinks nobody is listening he is spouting off vile and violent remarks. Sick.

Jesse Jackson – Pulling a Kanye West
In a shocking Kanye West Move, Jesse Jackson is claiming that an influential group of people don't care about the black folk. The group in question? Democratic Presidential candidates (Barak Obama included, only John Edwards excluded.) In the Chicago Sun-Times Op Ed section today, The Rev. registered his concerns publicly, indicating that the democratic presidential candidates did not care about the plight of the black man, and were paying no attention to issues that affected them.
Now I'm no politician (yet), but it would seem to me that the idea behind governing a nation like the United States is that all people are created equal. By perpetuating the idea that we need to pay special attention to "the plight of the blak man", we're essentially writing a blank check to a large demographic and teling them "It's okay, screw up all you want. Nobody expects anything from you." Maybe if we didn't hold our citizens to different standards, there wouldn't be discrepancies. By championing the need for specific programs and legislation aimed at one group, we are letting them off the hook.
When it comes right down to it, a black student with average grades has a better chance getting into most universities than a white student with perfect marks, and has a much great chance at getting scholarships to pay for their entire education. We can't be parents to screw-up kids, and we can't be safety nets for screwup parents. I'm all for legislation that gives people equal opportunities if there are legitimate precedences for not providing equal opportunities, but that's not the kind of stuff that Jesse Jackson is championing, he wants the government to fix black people's problems. Short answer? No.
