Let’s just forgive and forget
Posted by Media Outrage on July 17, 2008
The ever so corrupt FoxNews has released information to the Associated Press saying that Rev. Jesse Jackson used the N word while off camera when he criticized Barack Obama and said that he wanted to cut his nuts off.
Via Yahoo:
In additional comments from that same conversation, first reported by TVNewser, Jackson is reported to have said Obama was “talking down to black people,” and referred to blacks with the N-word when he said Obama was telling them “how to behave.”
Jackson — who is traveling in Spain — apologized in a statement Wednesday for “hurtful words” but didn’t offer specifics.
“I am deeply saddened and distressed by the pain and sorrow that I have caused as a result of my hurtful words. I apologize again to Senator Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, their children as well as to the American public,” Jackson said in a written statement. “There really is no justification for my comments and I hope that the Obama family and the American public will forgive me. I also pray that we, as a nation, can move on to address the real issues that affect the American people.”
A spokeswoman for Jackson’s civil rights organization, Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, said she could not confirm that Jackson used the slur.
Mediaoutrage- Well everyone makes mistakes even extremely embarrassing ones.

Nothing surprises me about Jesse Jackson! It’s sad but our community is filled with a lot of haters, I just read this poem by Maya Angelou called “Hater”
“A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all their time trying to make you look smalll so they can look tall.”
Jesse fits that description!

Jesse Jackson and I were at Magic City 2 weeks ago and he told me he was going to hate on Obama. We was getting lap dances and he told me to pay because he left his wallet. That’s a cheap basterd. He’s a hater and a cheap basterd.

This is another instance with the media not being in touch with the people…
Fox (the un news) keeps placing this wash up in our face asking him for a word on our people as if there were any relevance to it..
This guy hasn’t been a factor since the jerry curl and a colt 45 commercial…

Jesse needs to drop off the face of the earth..just retire! But wait a minute WTH does he do anyway?! Besides hate and talk ish about other folks..he needs to drop Reverund from his name because he ain’t no man of the cloth!

@ Ms. E: You hit that right on the noise for me ” he ain’s no man of the cloth”
he has to do a lot more work with God and the community to get that cloth back.
