"talking down to black people,” and “telling n—–s how to behave".
This of course is acceptable for Jackson because he is black, even though he has stated publicly in the past:
it is hurtful to the black community, whether it is used by blacks or whites
Maybe someone should protest in front of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, calling for his job. (Does he even have a job?) Similar to his protests in front of the NBC building when Don Imus made comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team.
"NBC must choose between Imus and the rest of us," said The Rev. Jesse Jackson as he protested with 50 others outside Chicago's NBC Tower Monday.. "The rest of us are going to organize a boycott until they make a choice."
Jackson said protests are being planned across the country in Atlanta, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
"This was not a slip of the lip," Jackson said outside the Tower. "This was a conversation ... (and) corporate sponsors have a role to play in not sponsoring these acts of racial bigotry."
I would argue that what Jesse Jackson said was far worse than the comments of Don Imus. If in fact this is true, then no matter what his apology says, he should be removed from his 'job', just like Don Imus was.
Wouldn't you agree?
