Jesse Jackson on Obama - Jesse Jackson Uses N Word - Blacklash

The Reverend Jesse Jackson, who once ran for nomination as a presidential candidate himself, has been creating a furore with things he has or may have said about Barack Obama. Most recently he has accused Obama of "talking down to black people... telling n-s how to behave". Yes, it's the dreaded n-word. He also said,"I want to cut his n-t's off." Yeap, that the other dreaded n-word.

His comments were caught on tape by Fox News, in an off-air conversation prior to an interview on Fox & Friends Weekend. Bill O'Reilly is having a field day with this, and as he rarely does, he presents the tidbits in an almost academic fashion without any over the top outrageous remarks. I guess Jackson's own words speak loudly enough for themselves, though they were whispered to a fellow guest on the show. O'Reilly, however, could not restrain himself from using an undertone of sarcasm. Who could?

Jackson recently threw in his endorsement for Obama, yet he has made comments that don't jive with his endorsement. He has apologised for the comments, and says his support for Obama is "wide, deep and unequivocal", and that he cherished this "redemptive and historical moment".
