Barack Obama & Rev. Jackosn
The longtime civil rights leader already came under fire this month for crude off-air comments he made against Obama in what he thought was a private and off-air conversation during a taping of a "Fox & Friends" news show. In additional comments from that same conversation, first reported by TVNewser, Jackson is reported to have said "Barack…he’s talking down to black people…telling niggers how to behave."
A Fox spokesman confirmed to The Associated Press that Rev. Jackson did used the slur, but the network declined to release the full transcript of the July 6 show and did not air the complete comments.
Rev. Jackson apologized in a written statement by saying "I am deeply saddened and distressed by the pain and sorrow that I have caused as a result of my hurtful words. I apologize again to Senator Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, their children as well as to the American public," "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."
During the peak of the Jena 6 racial incident, Rev. Jackson stated that Barack Obama was "acting like he was white" for not speaking out about "Jena 6".
Rev. Jackson is on record for calling for a boycott of all entertainment media that used the word nigger. Rev. Al Sharpton on the other hand wants to make it a hate crime for the usage of the word nigger.

It appears that this civil rights icon has reached his political menopause and is crying for attention from the younger guys.
Situations such as these do reveal the true and hypocritical nature of the likes of Jackson and Sharpton.
It is similar to saying do what I say but not what I do (i.e. having a child out of wedlock or calling another African-American nigger).
Good day everybody, I would like to weigh in on this issue. I am a white citizen who has been observing Mr. Jackson for many years on the news and television. My opinion, and I’m sure the opinion of many other white citizens, is that Mr. Jackson will continue to say anything that he wants because the general black population will not hold him accountable for his actions.
He publicly called the city of New York” Himie town” due to its heavily populated Jewish demographic, and the black community did nothing to hold him accountable for his anti Semite comments. Mr. Jackson has continuously lead campaigns supporting black students who commit hate crimes, Jena 6, and supporting entire high school football teams who incite riots at local games against white people, then calls the victims “racist” for demanding punishment against their attackers.
The black community does not see anything wrong that Mr. Jackson does because he is the one person that will continue to make excuses for the horrible actions of individuals that happen to be born with a darkened skin pigment.
Obama see’s a problem with millions of black males abandoning their children and overloading the criminal justice system, but Mr. Jackson threatens to cut off Obama’s balls and calls Obama a nigger for standing for more self responsibility within the black community. Mr. Jackson will make the excuses and continue to encourage socially poisoning behavior. This ultimately takes all responsibility away from the individual and that is why the general black community will not hold him accountable for his actions of calling the presidential candidate a nigger.
P.S. Didn’t Jackson call for ALL people to stop using the N-Word? Or was that just everybody except him?
