They certainly don't represent the views of the African Americans I know, many of whom consider these two too quick in their efforts to jump in front of the cameras and too slow to look at the issues with a discerning eye.

Because they are the darlings of the news media, and nobody shouts them down.

well you pretty much summed it all up ! most African Americans I know feel the same way ! there are so many black leaders and African American influences who look at problems on hand and stand tall for the community, and not at self fulfillment and plain arrogance like those two jokers!

Dr. Cornel West - just to name a drop out of the bucket!

The same reason Pat Robinson and Billy Graham did for us.
Its a personal power, driven by selfish motivations and opportunist for publicity. None of these men are worth my time.

Do not let their color fool you. They are whiter than me. They are gettin paid off by whitey to put on a show. Think about it--- they run their mouth over and over but never accomplish anything. It is no accident.

Both are not true Rev.'s. Both are immoral (esp. Jesse). Both profit for so-called racism. Both were not elected. Both are hypocrites. Only bona fide idiots follow these false prophets.

EXCELLENT QUESTION!
they say what black people like to hear and loudly, and when they speak with such passion and animation, folks get the impression that A,J and others like them know what they are talking about and really care about blacks. but it is just hot air and empty words. but sadly a lot of blacks can't or won't see them for what they are. they are no 'black' champions.
