I can't remember what exactly he said, but a member of the Black Panther Party, who was acting as a body guard to a black woman running for public office in Georgia, used some antisemitic phrases toward a member of the media.
Is it socially acceptable for everyone to be antisemetic? And why didn't Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton condemn his statements?
I'm sure I'll get some thumbs down for this, but it is a legitimate question.

Because the black lady in question, Cynthia McKinney, was a traveling show all by herself....
Jesse Jackson has been hit with charges of antisemitism himself -- google "hymietown" sometime.
Sadly, those who yell the most about racism, and those who report those cries, believe that only white and Asian people can be racists. Worse yet, only males can be sexists.....

like a lot of groups, the extreamists have taken over. How many have said, BLANK the white americans. Iv'e seen an act where Chris Rock said black people hate white people and that he didn't care if you came from Romania and just got off the boat. Then came a group of racist remarks and vulgarities that were far worse than Richards comments. And Al Sharpton owes several appologies for what he has done.

It is politically correct to use racial/antisemetic remarks if you are a minority. You are expressing your opinion. If you are "white" you are a racist bigot.
You will NEVER see Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton EVER condemn a black man for making any racist remarks. However, if it were any other race making a racist remark against an African-American....that is another story. Why? They are anti-semites and racists themselves.

How come there isn't a public outcry about the KuKluxKlan's racists comments? Aren't these things allowed for members of such groups isn't it expected of them? How come there isn't a public outcry about the movie Borat? I belive anti-semitism is socially acceptable, I agree.
As for the double-standard that's a bunch of BS! Why do people love to run and jump and celebrate when a black person does something wrong. Like a bunch of little five year olds. "Ooh ooh look everyone he did it! why can't I?" Oh a black person killed a white person "Ooh KKK better jump on it now even out the score or one up kill two! Yay! Teach them!" No. Same when your five same now "Two wrongs don't make a right." Why do you people talk about us so much. I mean thanks for the attention but no thanks! We are only 13 percent of the population focus your on someone else for a change! We don't think about you! So leave us alone it's so weird! Stalkers!
(Not YOU asker! Just the racists.)

This is definitely a case of double standards. Just like the club 100 Black Men of Jacksonville, or any other city. NAACP, a friends son lost the rhodes scholar because they needed another minority, BET Channel all of it if it were initiated by whites would be accused of discrimination.

Why didn't Jackson and Sharpton condemn?
Because they're racists as well.
Jackso referred to New York as "Jew York" and "Heimytown"
Sharpton lied to the media about the Tawanna Brawley case, in order to persecute an innocent man, simply to gain Brownie points in the Black Community.
Both are jokes, except that the Blacks don't get the joke; they think that these two clowns are legit.....
American Blacks, on average, have an incredible tolerance for double standards and hipocricy, as concerns their public leaders, then wonder why their fight for equal rights are not taken as seriously as they wish....

that's because the black panther has longhad a history of antosemitism and they are not apoligists, so it's no big headline news when they say it, that's like saying why no one cries foul when the arriyan movment denounes all races, no one will call them out on that becuase everyone knows there postion, ditto for the black panthers

just call Jessie and AL, imm sure they were sleeping when this heinous remark was uttered, because as you know, they both look after those whom have been smitten.
