Jesse Jackson to Quote Rihanna: "You Look So Dumb Right Now..."

From The Nicca Chronicles...

Ohhhhh Jesse.
Mr. Jackson if you're nasty.
When will you learn.
How many times have you been caught with that salty foot of yours in your mouth?!
You want to promote racial unity
... racial harmony
... you do remember the Rainbow Coalition??


So after all of your work...why would YOU of all people become a catalyst to cause more division in our already divided community??

I'm sure when you wished for Obama's nuts...u didn't mean it like the sign below...I'm sure u were uhhh, figuratively speaking...right?

Granted, you were the trailblazer as the 1st black man to make a bid for the presidency...but it was not time.
Now Obama, has walked in your footsteps and have created his own.

Sure he hem and haws, flips and flops-but he wasn't nearly as bad as poor ole Hillary-ous Clinton.
But was it necessary to put him on blast (although inadvertently), which resulted in putting yourself on blast as a
classless,
uncouth,
partaker of:

It's the truth anyhow.
Did you really have to say this about Obama:



You, a man who's been in front of a camera & mic'd up a kagrazillion times didn't think your mic was powered up this one time?
Don't you know people wait with bated breath for an opportunity to upload a hot mess on Youtube!!
smh
Come on now.

So now you're doing damage control:



There is NO privacy when you're near cameras with a mic on!
smh


I'm not sure if I'm voting for Obama, but I must give it to him for not letting ur words take him off his square, but instead chose to quickly accepting your apology.
IMO i think you're going to help him score more cool points.

Anyhooo...you've just given Loren Feldman ammunition to spoof our people-yet again. I guess he must make his money the best way he knows how, huh?
At our expense...but it's cool.
Anyway...I don't think you should apologize for something you meant to say.
I think you should keep it real and say...
I'm SORRY I GOT CAUGHT hatin' on Obama.
You're not sorry you talked about him...you're sorry /embarrassed your words were picked up on the mic...isn't that the truth, Jesse??

JJJ, Jesse's son, was quoted as saying (and man is he brave!):

"I'm deeply outraged and disappointed in Rev. Jackson's reckless statements about Sen. Barack Obama," the younger Jackson said. "His divisive and demeaning comments about the presumptive Democratic nominee -- and I believe the next president of the United States -- contradict his inspiring and courageous career."
He also said:
...he'll "always love" his father. But, he said, "I thoroughly reject and repudiate his ugly rhetoric."

sounds like a lil familial disharmony/division as well...hmm

Jesse (dad) read the lyrics below and see if you see yourself ANYWHERE in the lyrics...I'm just sayin:

Family...what do you have to say???

Ms. Jackson Debuts at #1

Go Janet! Go Janet!!

Apparently Janet just needed a little discipline to get back on top.

Ms. Jackson's Discipline has debuted at number one, becoming her first chart-topping album since her pre-wardrobe-malfunctioning days, when All for You reigned supreme seven years ago.

Discipline is the controlmeister's 10th studio album but her first for Island Def Jam. Like fellow pop diva Mariah Carey, Jackson left Virgin Records to join partner Jermaine Dupri at Island in hopes of staging a comeback. Her previous two albums, 2004's Damita Jo and 2006's 20 Y.O., both missed the top spot breaking a string of number one albums dating back to 1986's Control.


But reflecting the down times in music land, Discipline moved just 181,000 copies, per Nielsen SoundScan, fewer first-week sales than either Damita Jo (381,000) and 20 Y.O. (297,000); All for You's whopping 605,128 first-week copies in 2001 is still Jackson's biggest sales week.

After leading with the Rodney Jerkins-helmed "Feedback," Discipline is currently at radio with the Ne-Yo- and Dupri-penned "Rock with U." Jackson also picked up a 2008 NAACP Image Award for Best Supporting Actress last month for her role in Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?

While Discipline is Jackson's first number one album in seven years, New AmErykah, Pt. One: 4th World War is Erykah Badu's first full-length album in eight. The first in a two-part series, 4th World War sold 124,000 copies to open at number two.

With Jackson and Badu landing one-two, Jack Johnson's chart-topping streak ended at three weeks, with Sleep Through the Static falling to three on 92,000 copies. The other powerhouse album of late, Alicia Keys' As I Am, slipped three spots, selling 57,000 copies at five.

Webbie's Savage Life 2, featuring the lead singles "Independent" and "I Miss You," opened at four, selling 72,000. The original Savage Life, the rapper's breakthrough album, also debuted at four in the summer of '05.

Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus reentered the Top 10 at six, moving 54,000. The tween star's eight-spot surge stems from a recent trip to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, a Barbara Walters interview on Oscar night and an Academy Awards appearance presenting Enchanted's Oscar-nominated "That's How You Know."

The Once soundtrack, featuring the Oscar-winning track "Falling Slowly," got its own Oscar show bump, flying up 24 spots to number seven with 47,000 copies. (That was one spot above another soundtrack from an Oscar-contending film, Juno.)

Shawty Lo's solo debut, Units in the City, narrowly missed the Top 10, at 13, selling 31,000 copies. The Peach State rapper, currently at radio with "Dey Know," is a founding member of the group D4L.

Dolly Parton followed at 17, selling 27,000 copies of Backwoods Barbie, the music legend's first mainstream country album in nearly a decade. In addition to nine Parton-penned tracks, the singer covered the Fine Young Cannibals with "Drives Me Crazy" and Smokey Robinson with "The Tracks of My Tears."

Other noteworthy debuts included the original Broadway cast recording of The Little Mermaid at 26, the After's Never Going Back to OK at 41, London electro-stars Goldfrapp at 48 with Seventh Tree, Stellar Kart's Expect the Impossible at 66, Pillar's For the Love of the Game at 71, Leeland's Opposite Way at 72 and Cheri Dennis' In and Out of Love at 74.

Meanwhile, over at radio, Usher's new single "Love in this Club" rocketed 50 spots this past week to reach number one on the Hot 100, dethroning Flo Rida's monster hit "Low." The first single from Usher's forthcoming Here I Stand album also topped SoundScan's digital tracks and iTunes in its debut.

Usher's last album, 2004's Confessions, made history with four chart-topping singles that dominated the Hot 100 crown for a combined 40 weeks. No other male artist has accomplished such a feat in SoundScan history.

Overall, sales were down 1 percent from last week and down more than 6 percent compared to the same sales week last year.

Here's a rundown of the Top 10 albums for the week ended Sunday:

1. Discipline, Janet Jackson

2. New AmErykah, Pt. One: 4th World War, Erykah Badu

3. Sleep Through the Static, Jack Johnson

4. Savage Life 2, Webbie

5. As I Am, Alicia Keys

6. Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus, Miley Cyrus

7. Once soundtrack, various

8. Juno soundtrack, various

9. Little Voice, Sara Bareilles

10. Back to Black, Amy Winehouse

MAMAs STOP PUTTING YOUR CHILDREN AT RISK WITH THESE UNEMPLOYED MONSTERS!!

This crime took place late last year...but it's senseless nontheless.

Da'Niyah Marie Jackson, killed at the hands of her mother's loser boyfriend.
She was only TEN MONTHS OLD.
She was born looking like an angel,
and is in heaven already.
Thanks SJ
Read the commentary after the article, below!

R.I.P. Da'Niyah "Angel" Jackson

Daniyah's Murderer, Clinton Smith (b'low)
his story

On Wednesday, the family of 10-month-old Da'Niyah Marie Jackson of Troy Hill will face her accused killer in court. But Monday they were concentrating on making funeral arrangements for the doe-eyed girl who police said was beaten and sexually assaulted by her mother's live-in boyfriend. "She wasn't one of those babies that was really loud or cried all the time," said Clarence Jackson, the baby's grandfather. "She was quiet. She just kind of looked around with those big eyes and took it all in. You couldn't have asked for a better baby."
The infant died Saturday at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh from abdominal injuries that led to the failure of part of her small intestine known as the jejunum, according to the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office.

The Police yesterday filed a homicide charge against Clinton Smith, 30, who was jailed on charges of aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, rape and endangering a child. His preliminary hearing is slated for Wednesday in Municipal Court. The baby's mother, LaToya Jackson, left the child with Smith to go to her job as a waitress at a North Side restaurant, police said.
She told police she returned to find her child bruised and unresponsive. Jackson called 911 when the baby went into cardiac arrest and began having seizures. Smith told detectives he and his toddler son were the only ones home with Da'Niyah all day. The family hasn't finalized funeral arrangements for Da'Niyah, but has arranged a memorial fund to help defray the cost. Donations to the Da'Niyah Marie Jackson Memorial Fund can be made at any PNC bank branch. LaToya Jackson declined to comment yesterday. "We're just in shock," said Clarence Jackson Jr., Da'Niyah's uncle. "We had to set up a fund because we didn't have insurance on the baby, because who thinks to take out insurance on an infant?
"We just can't believe this. We can't believe it happened. She was a sweet baby."source

Heed This Warning, Ladies!:
I opened this up this morning and I am PISSED!!!!!

This is another example of what can happen when you trust strange men with your kids!! Please Everybody!! If you meet someone and call yourself falling in love all fast, that's fine and good BUT, leave the babies out of it. This day and age there are so many sick and twisted people on the inside and picture perfect on the surface. You do not know what lies in the minds of people in this day and age, I don't care how sweet they treat you and yours. We are living in a world where people do not fear God an d a s a result- there is no limit to the sick acts people do. Especially with our children. We (as mothers) have to protect our little ones!!! Even if it means giving up a personal life for a while. Put the babies first!

I don't mean to preach to anyone but I am sending this out to my entire email list so that it can affect the right persons at the right time. I googled this story and it is very true...sick, sad and true.

Janet "Damita Jo" Jackson's "Feedback" Video

I used to be a former DIE HARD Janet Jackson fan (i've since realized, it was idolatrous). Fan or not-her vids were usually HOT...but I think Feedback's vid is a NOT. Judge for urself.

I like Janet's song "Feedback," cuz it's smooth and ez to sing to.

However, I'm disappointed with Feedback's video. There's no story line--just folks sitting atop of planets.
I couldn't wait for the dance sequence.
She didn't disappoint-there was one.
It wasn't the best dance sequence-but there was one.
My theory is, this song was an unexpected hit and they rushed 2 put a vid
together.
It's not the Janet I know, but hopefulluy the videos get better from now on.
I just hope she appreciates THIS FEEDBACK.

Vid was jacked from Brown Sista

Michael Looks Beautiful in an Inanimate, Frontlace-tastic Kind of Way

(Thanks Overanalyze It & dlisted.com)

It's hard being objective when looking at Mike.

Ok, I was understanding as to why he thinned his nose a little.

Then a little bit more.

Then a little more.

Then some more.

Then lighter skin.

And lighter.

And yet lighter skin.

Ok, when the chin took on a frankensteinesque square shape-I became alarmed.

Fast forward to today:

I mean come on Michael!!

You're becoming more and more ridiculous when I see you.

If a doctor does not confront M.J. and his OBVIOUS body dysmorphic disorder,

I'M GOING TO SUE ON M.J'S BEHALF.

It's time for an intervention!!

He's not even white-HE'S BEIGE!

Mike you CANNOT TELL ME, that's the look you were going for-

these doctors need to be sued, fined, and licenses revoked.

You Betta Recognize--you better be glad it's him & not me!

p.s. I don't know when this Ebony comes out, but I'm not purchasing it cuz i'd be too creeped out with Michael looking up at me from the cover-that's it I'm suing Ebony on BEHALF of M.J. I'm suing for false representation, coddling him in his false reality, and making him look even more mannequinesque.

I know Ebony, isn't Essence Magazine-but this, Michael looks pure-d-ridiculous.

That is not keeping it real Ebony Magazine!

Note to Jesse Jackson: Open Mouth, Insert Foot & Keep it There!!

I love dropping in at independentconservative.com's website. Brother IC, always knocks the ball out of the park w/his posts.

I'm not sure what Jesse Jackson was thinking, but he was very irresponsible in his statement. I'm glad the young man was released, but to liken it to Christ's ordeal is disrespectful. Jesus did not have his face in the place, committing sexual immorality for all the world to see (videotaping). Maybe he was overwhelmed with emotion because Genarlow was surprisingly freed, I don't know. But he better issue a statement and clean this mess up. This is why he would never become President...not of the U.S. anyways. Now he's addressed as "reverend"(i'll NEVER address a human as 'reverend-that's another post) but what local body does he preside over? When does he minister? and to whom? I'm just asking.


Read Bro. I.C's passionate post below:

"Jesse Jackson Blasphemes. Compares Genarlow Wilson’s Release with Resurrection of Christ!"


source

This man Jesse Jackson is just the biggest manipulator and spewer of heresy in Atlanta at the moment. Today a kid named Genarlow Wilson, who had been locked up for having sexually immoral activity with a girl was released. The whole dispute was her age, some early assessments of events and details in GA’s sexual abuse laws. I recall when it first all occurred. The kid’s made video of it all. And it certainly appeared he had taken advantage of a mentally unstable girl. (The girl is mentally challenged.) Just nastiness. Honestly, that’s why I never said a word about it. Once upon a time groups like the NAACP had a morality standard and if you didn’t meet the standard, you didn’t go crying to them when you got locked up. Now it’s different, but I was not going to cry about consequences of sexually immoral behavior. The court has ruled and I respect their opinion as much as any previous decisions in the case. But Jesse Jackson said a prayer (which of course was not closed in the name of the Son of God Christ Jesus, because it was Jesse Jackson’s prayer), where he said some things of flat out heresy.

He mentioned IN THE PRAYER, that Tom Joyner, Steve Havery and others speaking on behalf of Genarlow Wilson were like (paraphrasing) “voices in the wilderness like John the Baptist. “

Notice Jesse picked John the Baptist, like a run-up to Christ.

Then as the AJC.com Political Insider blog notes and they have link to the full audio of Jackson
Jackson on Genarlow: ‘We’ve endured the crucifixion, and now we see the stone is rolling away’

…
But most interesting was the prayer at the end of the press conference, which Jackson led.

“We thank You for his parents, who would not surrender in the face of tyranny,” Jackson said. “Now its morning time, and we feel a sense of joy that it’s morning time. We’ve endured the crucifixion, and now we see the stone is rolling away.”

“In Genarlow Wilson, You say the ground is no place for a champion. And so we rise.”
…

Well no wonder he didn’t close the prayer in the name of the Lord! He’s making the guy released from prison out to be Christ!

This is just a height of blasphemy and needed to be noted here. If you don’t believe me, click the audio link above and and they have an audio link where you can hear it all for yourself.

JESSE JACKSON, STOP BLASPHEMING THE WORK OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!

Does anybody think Jesse Jackson spoke to Genarlow Wilson about if he has accepted Christ as Savior? I would ask did the so-called reverend counsel Wilson to turn from sexual immoral behavior given the mess it’s caused him more, but I won’t because Jesse Jackson has been caught forsaking his own wife and I know he probably never once showed any care for Genarlow Wilson’s soul. So if you meet Genarlow, since Jesse Jackson probably didn’t do it, see if you can speak with him about Christ. His body is free from man’s prison and it would be good that he was given assistance regard

SACRAMENTO TV STATION APOLOGIZES TO TYLER PERRY: Flood of angry e-mails over Janet interview causes havoc.
source

*Never underestimate the power of Tyler Perry's e-mail nation.
Last week, the filmmaker vented his frustration last week with an interviewer at a Sacramento TV station who kept trying to ask Janet Jackson about her boob flash at the 2004 Super Bowl instead of questions about their new film, "Why Did I Get Married?"

In his latest letter to fans, Perry states: "After you all saw that interview that Janet and I did; you started an email campaign that ended in this man going on air and giving an apology. He got so many emails that it crashed the computer system at the TV station. The other employees couldn't get emails from what I understand."

The original interview with Sacramento's CW31 reporter Mark S. Allen can be seen here.

Allen's subsequent apology can be viewed below:




The stroke of the pen, the click of a mouse, a word from our mouths represents one thing: POWER. We have the power to change lives, move mountains, make a difference.
We're doin it with Jena 6, we did it with Tyler Perry, now let's effect change in ou own lives, and in the lives' of those around us!

Yes...WHAT WOULD WAL-MART THINK?!

DEF JAM DENIES 'N-WORD' FOR NAS ALBUM: Source says 'How would that look at Wal-Mart?'
source

*A source close to Island Def Jam Group chairman Antonio "L.A." Reid is now claiming that the new album from Nas will not be called the N-word as the rapper had announced during a concert Friday night in New York.
"There is no album release by Nas on the release schedule at this point," the source told FOX News. "And they would be unlikely to release an album with that title. How would that look at Wal-Mart?"
Before anyone from Def Jam could even address Nas' statement, Rev. Jesse Jackson and the NAACP had already issued comments condemning the artist for the announced title.
"The title using the 'N' word is morally offensive and socially distasteful," Jackson said in a statement. "Nas has the right to degrade and denigrate in the name of free speech, but there is no honor in it. Radio and television stations have no obligation to play it and self-respecting people have no obligation to buy it."
"I wish he would use his talents to lift up and inspire, not degrade, making mockery of racism," he added.
"We will not support and we will not continually be assailed by other individuals who want to use that type of term in our presence" said national NAACP spokesman Richard McIntire, according to Fox News. "This has gone on long enough."

I was hoping the record company couldn't be that stupid.

People get upset that Jesse Jackson, and Sharpton are always on TV, but if idiots in our community, would catch, grab, beg, borrow, steal or buy a clue-it wouldn't be necessary. I'm hoping one day...before I die..we as a people can get it together.

I'd even settle for...'on the way to getting it together.'

I just want to say to Nas: NI**A, R U CRAZY?!

TYLER PERRY THANKS FANS; VENTS FRUSTRATION: Filmmaker happy to top box office, but says promo road wasn't easy.
credits: eurwebc.com (edited for space/emphasis by Ivent)

*In a letter to his fans, Tyler Perry has expressed gratitude for the nationwide support of his new movie, "Why Did I Get Married," which opened at No. 1 this weekend.
But the constant promotion of the film has had an affect on the filmmaker, particularly with reporters who insisted on asking Janet Jackson about "Nipplegate." (see post"Did You Ask Justin Timber... on you better recognize)

He writes about the experience in his letter below – unedited and in its entirety:

Hello, hello, hello!
Before I get into this I just want you to know that this one may be a little long. (smile)
These last two weeks I have been on a promotional tour for MARRIED. 9 states, 25 private screenings, several TV and radio appearances; all in about 12 days! And let me tell you--it has taken a toll.
- I have been told that since I'm not in a dress this movie wouldn't work.
- I have been called a racist (among other things) because there are no other races represented in this film (that's not something that I ever think about...I just want to tell a good story).
- I have been lied to, tricked, deceived.
There was one reporter, who I was told was coming from New York to do a favorable piece. She sat in my office and smiled and asked me all kinds of questions. When the article came out it was all out of context and all about how my movies are the worst thing that have ever happened to Black people and that I am doing nothing but modern day step-and-fetch it, and that I'm just trying to get rich. I was shocked and quite upset by the trickery. Not only by her but also the things that were said about this movie in print were so awful. Several Hollywood trades didn't even mention that MARRIED was a contender for number one. They thought that the number one would be George Clooney's movie or Mark Walbrurg's movie.

Now I had never ever read any of this stuff in the past, but for some reason I felt lead to read it this time. The venom and disdain for what I do was apparent. And speaking of venom, what they did to Janet was unacceptable. Janet, who was under no obligation at all to promote this movie, sat with me while I was doing a round of TV interviews. Half way through the three hours of sitting in the same spot she was attacked by a reporter on a Sacramento morning show who only wanted to talk about the Super Bowl incident.
Now, I made it perfectly clear before we went live on the air that I wasn't talking about the Super Bowl or Janet's family. We had less than 5 minuets so I wanted to keep it positive and focus on the movie. But he didn't want to keep it positive. I had to maintain my composure because we were live on the air. I didn't let her speak. I kept jumping in because it was just so unfair to her. I have not seen Justin Timberlake attacked like that. I wasn't going to let them do that to her. Believe me when I tell you--Janet worked so hard on this film. She deserved more respect from this man than that! We both did.
In the mist of all of this I was fighting trying to get more screens because every other movie that opens with a track record like mine have not had to deal with fighting for screens. Most of the movies of my counterparts open on at least 3,000 screens. MARRIED was given 2,000.
Needless to say I was exhausted and mentally drained. So, by this time it was last Thursday and I just had no more to give. So, when I started to write that email (about the movie and for you to please check your tickets and so on) all that I could think was, "Tyler don't let these people get you down. As a matter of fact, speak a word of encouragement to the people that have been there for you and let that be that!"
Every time I'm overwhelmed by negative I just have to remember how good God has been to me. And as I was thinking about all of this all I could hear was LIVE YOUR DREAM BOY! LIVE YOUR DREAM!!
I wrote to you about dreams because I was just in a place of realizing that I had done all that I could do and the movie was in God's hands, so I just wanted to encourage somebody. After I sent that email to you I was reading your responses on the message board and, well, you don't know what you did for me. Here I was thinking that I was encouraging you and then you turned around and encouraged me! That's why I thank God for you and your messages.
But little did I know how much more was to come...Jesus!!!
So, now cut to Friday. . .Dear GOD!!!
I decided to go to the movie and just relax. I was trying to buy tickets online so I tried the 7 o'clock show. It was sold out. I then tried the 8.
It was sold out. Then the 9. It, too, was sold out! So I thought, "I need to call the theater. Maybe they'll save me a seat since I know some of the folks that are in this movie." (smile)
After the movie started I was brought into the back of the theater, and no sooner than I sat down I realized why I was having such a battle. I then realized why there was such an attack. As I looked at the faces of the people in this theater laughing and crying I got it. I got it! I had a feeling that this movie was special, but I didn't know how special. I could literally see husbands and wives coming together. I could see people letting go of past hurts. And I could feel forgiveness in the air. I enjoyed watching your faces while you watched the movie. Between the tears in my eyes and the watching of your faces I didn't get see much of the movie.
And then I got home and went to the message board and you all confirmed in words all that I was feeling in that theater. So, with all of that said I want to say to you, thank you. Thank you for crowding into those theaters.
Thank for dealing with the headaches. Thank you for fighting your way across town. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for the number one movie in America.
You did that and believe me--all of the ones that I mentioned at the top of this email are shaking their heads wondering why their weapons didn't prosper.
Truly Grateful,
Tyler Perry
P.S. I guess Judah will have to find a loving family somewhere else....
:-)

*******

Where this man get the energy to write a descriptive, long email is beyond me. He has energy for days. Yes, he was right, a sacramento show called Good Day tried to bamboozle Janet. Tyler,ever the gentleman, kept jumping in and bringing focus back to the movie...not janet. I'm not surprised he's frustrated, but reality is...we know it's not goin to be easy, but look at how far you've come.

Our community, is proud that Tyler persevered. He's an inspiration to all races, not just black.

Did You Ask Justin Timberlake Those Questions, too??

"Why Did I Want To Get Crunk on That Man?!"
source: theybf.com

As is common when a movie is being released, Tyler Perry and Janet Jackson have been their rounds promoting Perry's new movie, "Why Did I Get Married?" One of the shows that interviewed, "Good Day" on Channel 13 in Sacramento(CBS), took several jabs at Janet Jackson. Based on what I've seen of Janet, she's always humble and gracious in interviews, and this interview was no exception. However, Tyler Perry was not having it. This idiot of an interviewer brought up of all things...THE SUPERBOWL FIASCO! That's right you heard me. Everytime the idiot took a jab at Janet, Perry stepped in and protected her. (honey, that's what a man is supposed to do!) There was no relevance of the superbowl to the movie. Now... had he brought up her marriages, I could understand him going there.

My questions are: Did Janet Jackson, uncover her own breast at the Superbowl or did Justin Timberlake??? Why is it that no one has disrespected, joked, ribbed, kidded (or whatever) Justin Timberlake regarding the Superbowl? Who designated J.J. as the scapegoat, sacrificial lamb?

Oh--you don't believe me? Well click for yourself:
watch the madness

Kudos to Mr. Class himself, Tyler Perry!

Marlon Jackson-MY HIGH SCHOOL CRUSH, YES!

Houston, TX (BlackNews.com) - On Wednesday, October 3 at Noon (CST), "Marlon Jackson of the world renowned Jackson Five speaks candidly about the business of Diversity in Media and Entertainment on InsideDiversity -- The Power of Intelligence(TM) with Host Carmen M. Carter, Founder and Chief Diversity Officer of the Multicultural Women's Council, live on the Voice America(TM) Network.

Marlon Jackson and his brothers, The Jackson Five dominated the radio and music charts starting in 1969 on the Motown Record label. The Jackson 5 were the first American group to have four consecutive number one records that included "I Want You Back", "ABC", "The Love You Save" and "I'll Be There" giving them instant international recognition and fame. They have had the privilege to meet and perform for Heads of State and Presidents of many countries, performing twice for Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth; "The Royal Performance for the Queen's Mother" and "The Queen's Jubilee".

When I came across this article at blacknews.com, I immediately went back to Downtown Business Magnet High School, in L.A, CA 1984--oh my goodness. They had a concert in L.A. and I believed it rained. "Can you feel it?" Can you feel it? CAN YOU FEEL IT!

JESSE JACKSON DENIES SAYING OBAMA IS ‘ACTING WHITE’: Activist clarifies statement regarding senator’s stance on Jena 6.
(September 21, 2007)

*A South Carolina newspaper quoted Jesse Jackson as saying Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was "acting like he's white" for not speaking out more forcefully about the Jena 6 situation in Louisiana.

However, Jackson released a statement Wednesday saying his words were “taken out of context.” Columbia’s State newspaper claims the civil rights activist made the comment after speaking at historically black Benedict College on Tuesday. According to the article, Jackson called the incident in Jena "a defining moment, just like Selma was a defining moment," and said Obama's failure to seize the opportunity to speak out against what he describes as a disparate approach to prosecuting whites and blacks demonstrates his weaknesses as a candidate.
“If I were a candidate, I’d be all over Jena,” Jackson said in his remarks after the speech, according to the published account.

Jackson later told the newspaper he did not remember making the "acting like he's white" comment about the black Presidential candidate. But State reporter Roddie Burris stands by his story. He told FOX News that the comment came during a 45-minute, one-on-one interview with Jackson Tuesday after his hour-long speech at Benedict College.

Responding to the controversy, Jackson said in his statement: "I reaffirm my commitment to vote for Sen. Barack Obama. I think Jena is another defining moment of the issue of race and the criminal justice system. This issue requires direct and bold leadership. I commend Sen. Obama for speaking out and demanding fairness on this defining issue. Any attempt to dilute my support for Sen. Obama will not succeed."
The Illinois senator, in a statement late Wednesday reacting to Jackson's comment, said "outrage over an injustice" such as in the Jena case "isn't a matter of black and white. It's a matter of right and wrong."

Obama cited earlier statements in which he "demanded fairness" and said they "were carefully thought out with input and support" from one of his national campaign chairmen — Jesse Jackson Jr., a Chicago congressman and son of the elder Jackson.

The Democratic candidate also spoke out about the Jena 6 case in a statement last Friday, after a state appeals court threw out the only remaining conviction against Mychal Bell, one of the black teenagers accused in the December attack on a white schoolmate. Obama said he hoped the decision would lead the prosecutor "to reconsider the excessive charges brought against all the teenagers in this case. And I hope that the judicial process will move deliberately to ensure that all of the defendants will receive a fair trial and equal justice under the law.

On Sept. 10, the senator said: "When nooses are being hung in high schools in the 21st century, it's a tragedy. It shows that we still have a lot of work to do as a nation to heal our racial tensions. This isn't just Jena's problem; it's America's problem."

Did Jesse Jackson, Jr say those words? WHO CARES! The issue is the absence of Barack in Jena, LA.

So I'm going to keep it real with you, and put it down for you: There is NO WAY Obama is going to alienate those who are providing major funding to his campaign. He has major players include Ms. Oprah "you-better-do-what-I-say-or-I'll-be-blackball-U" Winfrey.

While he did have permission to release a statement to appease a few angry people, there was NO WAY he was going to show his face-in-the-place (Jena, LA) with that many angry black people (what would his $$ backers think?!) I'm not saying he had to show up in all black, looking like a black panther, but he could've shown up in his Brooks Brother, Armani or whomever's suit he's rocking and give a few words of support. No one asked him to disparage the town of Jena, simply show up-everyone knows Obama's busy trying to be elected president! It would not have been held against him if he stayed in Jena for a short time.

Due to his not showing up--he's lost about 34,262,614,798,833,316,672,221 cool points-and counting!

He could've had the black votes on lock!

Now-although he did not show his face-in-the-place (Jena, LA) and protest the wrongdoing of that town- you BETTA believe he'll be showing-his-face-in-the-place (your hood, town or city) at a CHURCH, COMMUNITY CENTER, SCHOOL AUDITORIUM, town hall meeting - for your vote. JUST WATCH. *sigh*

Peeps-if you're not good enough to march with, if you're not good enough to fight with, your votes shouldn't be good enough either, right? I'm just saying.

Why don't everyone send HIM a press release (like he did with Jena 6) wishing him the best on his election--i wonder how would that sit with Barack?

Villagers, as the song says "everybody plays the fooooool...sometimes." The operative word is SOMETIMES! It's one thing to be a fool unaware, but it's another to be played a fool with your permission.

I don't know the man from a can of paint. I hold no ill-will towards him, I simply feel he lost out on a great opportunity to be a part of American history. There was no mention of Jena, LA on his website either: http://www.barackobama.com/ *sigh*

Family all I have to say is: YOU BETTA RECOGNIZE!
