mike – you might be getting close! You might be interested in Lenora Fulani’s comments on The Daily Voice and The Hankster over July 4th weekend — before Jackson’s ridiculous muttering. In part she says “as ordinary African Americans repudiated the Democratic Party “old guard,” and as black independents and insurgents came to play a new and important role, the black establishment was forced to follow the lead of the community in backing Obama and forsaking the Clintons. It was by no means a smooth ride.” The most vicious attacks always come from “your own kind”. Big shots don’t like comeupants, no matter which side they’re on.

To white America there are two kinds of blacks: 1. Accusatory blacks like Jackson and Sharpton who make whites squirm and 2. Blacks with no malice like Oprah and Obama who relieve whites of their ever-present white guilt.

To black America there are two kinds of blacks: 1. Blacks with virility and 2. Uncle Toms.

Jackson’s “cut off his balls” remark was not “off-handed”. It had very specific and pointed meaning. Virility is everything, and to Jackson, an Uncle Tom has no “balls”.

The problem with Jackson is that he doesn’t seem to know the difference between activism and politics.

“Obama appears to be a candidate different from the old politics of divisiveness…- GC

So very very true… if you are not paying attention.
