NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 QUOTE(winodj @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 01:33 PM) Yes because Jesse Jackson never did anything to help the black community apparently. He is. Nobody. Jessie Jackson does far more harm than good with his "blame whitey first" attitude. He is creating a false impression among black people that there is a vast white conspiracy against black people and that society owes them something. This is wrong, counterproductive and hurts black people. It is not 1950 anymore and institutional racism is long dead. The fact of the matter is that Jessie Jackson is a selfish asshole. He plays on the disadvantages and fears of the black community to consolidate his power and influence. Thankfully though people are seeing through his charade and he is losing his place as a dominant figure in the black community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell that to the 2001 MLB Manager of the Year who hasn't even gotten an interview. Yes, large corporations have been good at following the laws, but the greatest growth in jobs are in small business which are exempt from most requirements. Racism is alive and well in America. It's just in small business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 To pull this back to Bill Cosby. The simple fact remains that if the black community would listen to him, they'd be much better off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
