Uh, Backing up the OP with examples of two more prominent blacks that think obama is making things worse for them, and not better as obama
promised sounds quite relevant to me.
centurian - why pick a fight where there is none? it's a reasonable question
Morgan Freeman: Obama Made Racism Worse, Tea Party Will Do 'Whatever [It] Can To Get This Black Man Outta Here
So, how does this apply to the OP?
I thought it ironic that two African Americans on opposite ends of the political spectrum see President Obama the same way in this regard.
carewemust is referring to the remark Reverend Jackson made before the last election when he thought his microphone was off - and to the recent
opinion of Herman Cain. Both men are prominent African Americans
Morgan Freeman - also African American - claims the Tea Party is racist and out to get President Obama
So...does the fact that these two gentlemen agree, and that they each disapprove of how Obama speaks to African Americans somehow disprove what Morgan
Freeman says?
Herman Cain is competing to be the Republican candidate in the next election, and he seems to be a Tea-Party favorite. Jesse Jackson tends to be kinda
crabby and somewhat self centered – but that might just be my opinion :-)
He has also said some decidedly not cool, anti-Semitic things in the past – as well as claiming that our president – President Obama – was
acting white...
Anyhow – this is what Jesse Jackson’s own son said after the Reverend made that earlier remark:
Jackson, Jr. issued a statement that said "Reverend Jackson is my dad, and I’ll always love him. . .I thoroughly reject and repudiate his ugly
rhetoric. He should keep hope alive and any personal attacks and insults to
himself."
en.wikipedia.org...
What do ALL these men have in common?
Which of them speaks for all African Americans?
Which of them speaks for the Tea Party?
How does any of this make Morgan Freeman wrong?
thanks centurian – but I’d still like to hear from carewemust - maybe he can explain all this - I'm just not getting it
:-)
