I'm no Obama fan, and I CAN'T STAND Jesse 'Hymie Town' Jackson, but anyone can see that Obama is running based on his political views and ideas and NOT the color of his skin.
If anything, Jesse should learn from Obama and realize that preferring one race over another is exactly what the white people were scrutinized for. So why is it OK for Jesse and Al to do it?
Slavery ended almost 200 years ago and it is time for us to get along and except all ethnicities for what they are.
Jesse Jackson claims he is continuing what MLK Jr. finished, but Obama is the one who is really LIVING King's dream.

I find it difficult to place Jesse and MLK into the same sentence. I'm a true believer that if MLK were alive today, he'd be using encouragement instead of suppression and that encouragement would be to realize that living in the past places us on the endless road to no where.
It could be jealousy, yes. Obama, is a true leader and someone to look up to. Jesse, would never make the inroads that Obama has, simply because he is what he is... a racist.

Its a good thing that you leave no doubt about your bigotry by using the term "Hymie Town." At least we know where the question originates.
Do you ask the same questions when white political figures disagree? Why isn't Pat Robertson supporting Rudy Giuliani? Is he jealous or is it possible that they just disagree on political issues?
