Boy, am I ever tired of stupid demagogues. I am so tired of pussy, hypocrite public figures making statements condemning others for doing the exact same things that they themselves do.
Stupid fucking Jesse Jackson. Puss. I can’t take it anymore, I can’t take his constant moral outrage, his retarded posturing, and his fucking despicable behavior.
It was reported earlier this week that he, when he thought that he wasn’t being recorded, discussed wanting to cut off Barack Obama’s nuts. What is just now coming into the press is that he also referred to black folk as the n-word during an unaired portion of the clip (I hate the term “n-word,” but in the interest of fairness, since I don’t know if he said “nigga” or “nigger,” I can only go with what I have heard).
Personally, I don’t give a shit what he says, but I have a keen interest in hypocrisy in public figures. After all, this is the same Jesse Jackson who in 1984 called New York City “Hymietown.” This is the same Jesse Jackson who actually thought he could successfully boycott the Seinfeld Season 7 DVDs because Michael Richards’ racist rant. This is the same Jesse Jackson who wanted to boycott the Power Rangers for having a White Ranger (it’s not like there was a Black Ranger or anything). This is the same Jesse Jackson who wanted Imus fired for calling some women “nappy headed hos.” This is the same fucking Jesse Jackson who mere months ago, when discussing the prospect of Nas calling his new album “Nigger,” said that “using the ‘N word is morally offensive and socially distasteful,” going on to say that, “I wish he would use his talents to lift up and inspire, not degrade, making a mockery of racism.”
What the fuck is going on? How has this loon not disappeared yet? By his own stated standards, he has behaved in a way that’s “morally offensive and socially distasteful.”
Of course, Jesse Jackson is a classy dude, so he immediately issued an apology. “There really is no justification for my comments and I hope that the Obama family and the American public will forgive me. I also pray that we, as a nation, can move on to address the real issues that affect the American people.” If there’s no justification for your comments, WHY THE FUCK DID YOU MAKE THEM, YOU PUSSY HYPOCRITE? YOU’RE A NATIONAL SPOKESPERSON, HAVE A LITTLE FUCKING DECORUM FOR CHRIST’S SAKE.
Naturally, the American public will forgive him, and his empty, meaningless calls to “move on and address the real issues” will go unheard because no one is supposed to hear them, and the statement itself is really nothing more than an attempt to trivialize a genuinely trivial action that points to a very untrivial hypocritical streak. The only thing that remains to be seen is if the NAACP will live up to their own declarations. While Jesse and the NAACP were getting their panties in a bunch over Nas’s album title, the national NAACP spokesman Richard McIntire said, “We will not support and we will not continually be assailed by other individuals who want to use that type of term in our presence.” I’m anxiously awaiting the announcement that the NAACP has come out against Jesse Jackson and stopped supporting him. I’m sure that will come any day now.
I’m curious though: when Jesse Jackson says something that offends the black community, does he have to apologize to a mirror?
This post is a little too real.
I think I’m just going to retreat to my surreal playground of horse racing right now.
It is real, but hey—–he was THERE when Martin Luther King was shot.
And there’s a yellow ranger!
Yeah, but so was the guy who shot him.
And there’s also a Green Ranger, so fucking what?
Now he just needs to get caught smokin crack with a prostitute, “bitch set me up!”. Why the white man gotta keep sabotaging our brothers? Frankly, JJ makes me laugh in a Rev. Wright kinda way, they’re just way too opinionated and angry to keep their mouths shut and then they get in trouble.
Also, Red Ranger.
To be fair, Jackson already had an affair, granted wasn’t with a prostitute and he wasn’t smoking crack. Yet, he did pay off the woman with some Rainbow Coalition funds.
I feel like the difference between Rev. Wright and JJ is that Rev. Wright has no influence. It’s fine to laugh at him because all he does is scream about riding dirty and going to the mountain. JJ is an important national figure.
I don’t know how this is going to sound, but I suspect that if JJ had been assassinated early in his life, he might have turned into another MLK. I really don’t know how this is going to sound, but if MLK hadn’t have been assassinated, I wonder if he would have turned into another JJ.
Or if MLK hadn’t been killed, if JJ would be JJ at all.
