you need to stay back. he's a wild animal, ok?

 

Jesse Jackson has been one of the leading generals in America’s civil rights movement for more than 40 years. But now, perhaps it’s time for him to follow the advice of Gen. Douglas MacArthur and, like an old soldier, “just fade away.”
It’s one thing for our friend Don Imus to stick his foot in his mouth with hateful talk. But Jesse Jackson saying he would like to “cut out’’ the testicles of Sen. Barack Obama is something way beyond the stupidity of the radio shock jock.
This is the Jesse Jackson who was at Dr. Martin Luther King’s side when he was assassinated. This is the minister everybody admired for taking up the causes of social justice. This is the leader whose four decades of civil rights work paved the way for the amazing presidential candidacy of Obama.
So Jackson, who has run for president himself twice, should know better than anyone how candidates can’t afford to get bogged down defending dumb comments from their allies. On occasion, indeed, some candidates have their hands full enough explaining their own misstatements.
The last time he was on the campaign trail, for example, Jackson was overheard calling New York City “Hymie Town,’’ a nasty reference to Jews. Jackson apologized profusely, of course, but not enough to win him the New York primary.
His remarks about Barack Obama were mean-spirited, distasteful and downright outrageous. And they raise this question: Why now? Why did Jackson berate Obama, even if he thought the microphone was off, when the senator is on his way to becoming the Democratic nominee for president of the United States?
Were his comments a strategic plan to tarnish the luster of Obama’s candidacy? Perhaps not. But the remarks sure aren’t in the best interest of the community Jackson fought so hard to represent in his battle for civil rights.
Barack Obama is articulate, intelligent, witty, charismatic and, most important of all, has a good chance of becoming the next president of the United States. It doesn’t make sense to alienate yourself from any powerful figure, especially one who is such a breath of fresh air to black America.
Obama was in elementary school when Jesse Jackson and Martin Luther King Jr. were marching for equality in the South. Jackson’s efforts to gain full and equal opportunity for black Americans has helped make it possible for Barack Obama to run for the presidency and be viewed by millions from all ethnic backgrounds as the best candidate, not the black candidate.
In his day, Jackson was the black candidate for president, an admired figure but not the leader America’s Democrats were ready to nominate for the top job. Does jealousy of Obama figure into Jackson’s mean spirited lapse in judgment?
Who knows? Jackson’s nutty anatomical comment was made as part of a criticism of Obama for supposedly “talking down” to African-American men in particular about accepting responsibility as parents and family men. Jackson said Obama needs to also stress how economic inequality figures into the problems of black America.
Was Jackson’s “cut out” comment part of the line in the sand some think is being drawn between the Obama camp and the old-guard Democratic leadership of the Jackson era? During the Obama campaign, many of the old guard said they’d support Hillary Clinton, or no one.
Now that Obama has won the nomination without support from the old guard, perhaps Jackson and those who think like him are grumbling bitterly. But the point remains that Jesse Jackson and all America’s black leaders need to congratulate Obama and get to work making sure he wins in November — or get out of the way.
Nobody who wants Obama in the oval office should say a word to diminish the young U.S. senator from Illinois who reminds so many of John F. Kennedy.
And Jackson needs to realize that comments like his, whether heard or unheard by the nearby microphones, play right into the hands of those who would prefer to see him and Obama delivering groceries on the South Side of Chicago.

 

Outing alert: Xan is deeper_background!

 

Needs a mug, Xan. Maybe a pull quote, too.

 

I ran a mug of the guy who wrote it, but shit, I forgot to put in a pull quote. That whole page sucks. Our whole news section sucks today. Hardly any local copy.

But I digress.

 

Ah, fuck it. Nobody reads that far back in the paper anyway.

OK, I'm pretty sure that makes you the biggest loser of the copy-and-paste thread.

Even bigger than the non-journalist person reading the copy-and-paste thread to see what crazy shit journalists copy and paste.
