Rev...I'm getting sick of y'all niggas now...


(I thought the mugshot was appropriate here, don't you?)

So apparently, the press is still following Rev. Jesse Jackson, because he--in the SAME APPEARANCE in which he wanted to cut off Obama's nuts--referred to black people using the "N-word."

Jesse...the nuts comment was funny...but dang. You just went to town, didn't you?

I don't have any personal injuries that surround the N-word, because I've never been truly victimized by it, and I'm lucky to say it. And as I said in a previous entry, most times, we just attach our own injuries and cultural definitions to words and make things incredibly confusing for ourselves.

But if you're in the public eye, and you're constantly pushing for racial equality, and complaining about a candidate for the presidency "talking down to black people," saying "nigger" or any variation thereof is--let's face it--stupid.

And it's more stupid than hurtful.

I think I understand now why people were so initially pissed with the nuts comment...but at the same time, Jesse Jackson didn't really prove himself hurtful. He proved himself incapable of choosing the right words...y'all sure he ain't senile?

Main Street! Lol.

Rev...y'all just can't get it right!

So first, Rev Wright runs his mouth (unapologetically),

Then Father Phleger takes a stab at Hillary during a sermon and is told to sit out of the pulpit for a while,

Now, Rev. Jesse Jackson...



wants to cut Barack Obama's nuts off.

Now, I have a harsh wit at times, so I know what it's like to have to watch yourself, and make sure that you aren't actually hurting anybody. And the fact that he got caught isn't the problem, even though that's what everyone is making a big deal about. Face it; he wouldn't have gotten caught if he had never said it. People are pissed because he said it. Particularly his son.

Not that I'm sure why...not quite sure what Obama's nuts has to do with the equation. Granted, Hillary's nuts were put on a pedestal to help her win the democratic nomination, and you see how that turned out.

Personally, I think it's hilarious. And if you watch the video, so did Jackson. I don't think the comment was made to be taken seriously. You really can't expect everybody in your camp to agree with EVERYTHING you're saying, and Obama and Jackson have a slight disagreement with the way racial issues should be handled. It happens. Jackson just made a joke.

But these Reverends just can't get it together.

I'm preselling tickets to a streetfight Obama and Eddie Long, with special guest referee Kimbo Slice.

Y'all know Eddie is swolled.
