Not every african american thinks those two are saviours. I’m with the guy who said they were media whores. They make African Americans looks like they’re crybabies just WAITING for something to even remotely be wrong. I heard about the cartoon and laughed my butt off. It’s excellent satire. Oh. I’m African American….

it’s political satire and they are political and public figures. I want a press conference next time a satirical cartoon pisses me off…

I think the point is that the activists aspire to the fame of those loosers. And so they’re offended and accuse the man of being a bigot. Why then doesn’t he get to ask the simple question, “Do I lose my freedom of speach when I put on this badge?”

I’ve seen that cartoon many times in the email trail, and laughed at it each time. It’s called political satire, for those with no sense of humor. The reason why we have freedom of speach is so that we can poke fun at political figures and not be punnished. Both of those shitbirds ran for president. That makes them more than civil rights figures. They’re open game.

He needs to fight it, and fight it hard and loud. Gutless politicians won’t support him though, worried about their own positions. George Orwell saw this stuff coming.

We should debone them and use them as wet suits.

I thought Obama was raised by his WHITE grandparents? His father took off (abandoned) him and took off for Africa. I wonder what it was these people found offensive. Rob, your co-worker should have said the email only concerned his white half.

I might suggest your commenters and readers and everyone else scout about the various blogs, left and right, on MLK’s birthday. Most all wrote comments similar to: “MLK likely wouldn’t recognize the current environment and, yet, despite that, blacks have made large strides forward.” Those two males are nothing more than self-serving Poverty Pimps, and you can quote me. Unfortunately, that sheriff will succumb to the Temper of the Times UNLESS he comes out swinging and fighting with both fists and an explanation. Absent that, the boy is toast and deserves to be so — for being that ignorant.

Folks, you either FIGHT or you’re simply going down.

Rob, the victim mentality is alive and well all over, and it’s all the white mans fault, we oppress the brothers, we keep him down, we feed him dope, we mistreat his woman, we don’t educate his kids and our cops target him on the street…

If ya doubt that, read the New Orleans paper, it’s ALL our fault…

LMAO, Love that joke TF.

I have a co-worker that was given a reprimand for sending an email about Obama, you know, the one about his upbringing. Well a couple of folks with a darker skin tone than you or I (I don’t want to offend anyone) got offended and complained that it was a racist email….THE VICTIM MENTALITY is alive and well in Cali…Hoooray…

Rotten bastards.

From the comments section in the Houston Chronicle:

The Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, while visiting a primary school class, found themselves in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.

The teacher asked both men if they would like to lead the discussion of the word “tragedy”. So the illustrious Rev. Jackson asks the class for an example of a “tragedy”.

One little boy stood up and offered: “If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a runaway tractor comes along and knocks him dead, that would be a tragedy.”

No,” says the Great Jesse Jackson, “that would be an accident.”

A little girl raised her hand: “If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy”

I’m afraid not,” explains the exalted Reverend Al. “That’s what we would call a great loss.” The room goes silent. No other children volunteer.

Reverend Al searches the room. “Isn’t there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?”

Finally at the back of the room little Johnny raises his hand. In a stern voice he says: “If a plane carrying the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton were struck by a missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy.”

Fantastic!” exclaims Jackson and Sharpton, “That’s right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?”

“Well,” says little Johnny, “because it sure as hell wouldn’t be a great loss, and it probably wouldn’t be an accident either!”
