Steven you and I feel exactly the same about Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackass. They are only frauds, its been proven many times, and I will give you a link to one. http://www.bondinfo.org That is Rev. Jesse Lee Petersons website. He is a highly influenced black republican and it boost some really good topics and articles, stating the fact that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are nothing but scandals and frauds. He even threw a question at Jesse Jackson once when those 3 white girls got beated by a group of black kids.. He said " Where were you Jesse, when this happen? I didnt see you stepping up for civil rights for whites." Jesse had no reply. Did you know that Jesse Jackson admitted that when he was younger as his first job as a cook, he used to spit in white peoples food?

I agree 100%.
What kind of person (that says he wants peace for all races) would say this:., reported that Jesse Jackson “sharply criticized presidential hopeful and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for ‘acting like he’s white’ in what Jackson said has been a tepid response to six black juveniles’ arrest on attempted-murder charges in Jena, La.”
I put that down just in case someone does not want to click and read.
We need to pray for our Leaders and for the town of Jena!

I live 60 miles from Jena and YES I KNOW what went on!

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would not be around cause they know for a hate crime to take place it has to be a white on a black,or its just a crime
its a double standard

Sharpton and Jessie are African Americans, of course they will stand up for these young African American teens, who else will? People like Hillary Clinton only come around to get votes with fake southern accents? Where is she now? Where is Giuliani and Tancredo? Ummm.
Will you stand up for them? Obviously not, this is an opportunity for you to speak out against racism and what are you doing? whining about Sharpton and Jessie. I am not trying to defend Jessie and Sharpton, but I just wanted to point out your hypocrisy. I really don't mean to be this blunt but I am tired of hearing such statements.
When a Hispanic kid was sodomized with a broom stick by a group of racist White kids, Al Sharpton spoke - out did you? (This happened in Texas)
Racism still exist in this nation and instead diverting the issue to the problem - too many people are just looking for other whiners to agree with them.
This is suppose to be a "free" society. How many times do you hear George Bush say "they hate us for our freedom." Well you tell me what kind of freedom does an African American teen have in this country who couldn't sit under a tree which by the way was reserved for "whites only." Instead of the White kids getting the book thrown at them, the African American kids were arrested for defending themselves.
There are so many cases that we don't even hear about. Whites are slapped on the wrist and African Americans get the book thrown at them. One Bubba Boss Hog leader was interviewed on Democracy now in Jena and said "ah it was just a joke."
Right is right and wrong is wrong, incidents like this make African Americans feel disenfranchised, now you know why. We as Americans should feel ashamed and cut the left / right politics

i agree. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are racists, they only care about racism against black people and dont care about anything else.

If those kids were spanish (latino) or asian- i certainly WOULD still support the protest and I know alot of other people would still support it as well.
