No Common Ground

Captaae9a87c15ce48048eab0b729d944c3 Thanks to a few people of conscience, the rest of what of the Reverend Jesse Jackson said on the “hot mic” is starting to leak in drips and drabs to the public.

"Barack...he's talking down to black people...telling niggas how to behave…" is the latest shoe to drop from the career killing quip. The Reverend Jackson, champion of the downtrodden, used the N-word to describe the down trodden.

“Niggas.”

Remember the Michael Richards incident? Wasn't it the Reverend Jesse Jackson who called for a boycott of all DVDs from the show Seinfeld because of Michael Richards using the N-word in a comedy routine? Didn't the NAACP hold a funeral for the N-word just a few months ago. So symbolic, so sincere . . . America's premier civil rights organization standing at the casket, burying the word “nigga” and all of its cousins, forever...

Read RAW for the rest of the story.
