I can't help but to believe a democrat or liberal would have a heart attack if a former Republican candidate for the presidency made a comment about a white candidate "acting like he's black". For sure, they'd want him to explain what that means.

Rev. Jackson is an insult to his race!
He makes a living playing whites against blacks.
When people like him are gone race will be less of an issue!
He's makes it harder to put the race issues to rest.
I just ignore him!!

Amazing. If someone had said someone else was "acting like he's black" Jesse Jackson would be all over the media protesting and demanding apologies.
What hypocrisy.
WHY, Why, why is race even an issue any more?

If there is something that is acting black or acting white, then why shouldn't Barack "act" white, he is. Why do people assume he is black? He is both but raised by grandparents who were white. Doesn't that make him white. Maybe someone should suggest to people who think others are acting a color should be reminded we should act like human beings!
Don't you just love how everyone corrects spelling in here?

If jesse jackson was white he would starve to death. Watch him move in on the jerk simpson looking for his foolish rationalle. I wonder if he has increased his illegitimate family lately. He would come up smelling like french perfume after a bath in a cesspool

I am curious because I read the article and, although the statement is in quotes in the headline, I could not find it in the article. Is that an actual quote or a reporters interpretation of what he was saying? I would like to see the full text.

Barack should demand an apology. I'd be curious how he thinks Barack could act "more black", or why Barack should be inclined to act "more black". That is extremely racist of Mr. Jackson to make comments like that.

Jesse is the whitest black man on the planet. What the heck would he know about not being black enough?

Did Jesse always appear that way? Or was it until he realized how much money could be made by exploiting race that his eyes bugged out?

I've said this before, and I'll say it again: Will I ever listen to Jesse Jackson, EVER?
