Jesse Jackson Apologizes For "Locker Room Talk"

[DeenasWorld]

Jesse's not greater than Barrack Obama!!! Obama could have came back and slammed the hell out of Jesse for what he said about him, but Obama is of course the better person! He's a "REAL" man who can understand that J.Jackson is lost within his nuts as well as his mind, his mouth and his heart....Jackson needs mercy and he's lucky that Barrack gave it to him....Jacksons a jealous jerk who has affairs and makes babies he don't take care of!!!!!

[bswift5]

jessie is great

[JoefortheTruth01]

I wonder who the person was that bestowed upon him the title "Rev." This man does not deserve such a title and needs to be broken back down to the position of being a racist that he is. I have no respect for individuals like him and Al Sharpton who put that title in fron of their name and act racist.

[Heroyesterday]

Hypocrites abound. Mispelled a word. : P

[Heroyesterday]

Well he called Obama a Nigger, yet he skated right by. Instead it's on page 8 of the NY Post, and the new networks aren't running it. Gets a free pass because he's black. Plain and simple. He's not forced to retire (Like Imus), he gives a lame "Sorry", and that's it. Where's the black outrage? Where's Sharpton asking for Jacksons head? Hypocrites about.

[bostonbadboy1]

textbook black racist , fucking hypocrite!

[otherwisesaid]

No, you need not. You've already disgraced yourself.

[usuckamydick]

oh my god does he speak English - blah blah weeza goona ... nothing he says is proper English.... thank god for the pigeon law or we would just say he talks at a grade three vocabulary

[codediporpal]

I love how he talks in the beginning about what an apology should be in the abstract. Tells us all about what makes a good apology.

And then he doesn't do it.

What an asshole.

[itsbizbuz]

He is a religious "NUT".

[chrismortloch92]

no, you need to go fucking hang yourself you fucking racist cunt

[KWRBT]

It was a SETUP. Classic good cop bad cop. Couldn't be more obvious. Don't let them fool you, these two marxist racists support each other 100%, jackson and obama are like peas in a pod.

[codediporpal]

Obama marxist? Man you have been listening to way too much right wing radio.

[KWRBT]

No, all I had to do was read Obama's book which shows very clearly he is Marxist. His current economic policies also reflect that. As did his theology - black liberation theology. It's Marxist. Look it up. If I'm listening to too much radio, then you're not listening to enough! That or you don't read enough...

[Shredderific]

If white people said the stuff he says, the PC police and the Democrat party would swarm us like bees

[itsbizbuz]

It's because he is a reverend that people forgive him. America is fucked up by preachers telling craps and then repent. You repent you apologize therefore you can say whatever you want. In my country religious don't speak about politics.

[jet310]

I look at some of these thoughts here and I see racism is alive and well. Jesse made a serious error in judgement, especially if you are going to appear on a FOX network. He admitted to it now get over it!

[patsagainstrats]

I'm with Jesse, fuck Barack. I'm voting for Cynthia McKinney.

[onerpone]

God Damn!!! These Low Life, Race Pimp, Porch Monkeys make me sick. As a proud Democrat i despise the fact that we have to pander to them so much. I sometimes wish we were more like Republicans, they could give 3 shits about the pain in the ass Negro vote, they always seem to win with just the white vote. Its amazing that the Democrats don't have a single white man to run for President. Its a God Damn shame

[arytonjames]

typical man of color

[provendelusion]

this is not an apology.. it is just an admission that he said something that was not intended for public consumption.

[tdolan04]

He is an idiot

[mapexmac]

Clean up, isle 5 at the ol' Research Library... Looks like someone spilled a bucket of horse shit - again - all over the floor around the speaker's podium. I didn't hear ANY apology. I heard what constitutes an apology - purely spoken in the third person, not the FIRST person - as in "I, Jasse a-Jackson-a am sorry I said..." Nothing of the sorts, just more rhetoric and oppressive accusations. Pathetic so many GOOD people are duped by this wanna-be.

[Shredderific]

He is more racist than any white man in America...

[WhyToob]

Than "ANY" white man? You didn't actually mean to say that, did you? Are you conveniently excluding any white, violent supremacist-types from your thoughts? To be sure, there are stark raving dangerous racists of every color. Jackson may be more black-centered than you (and I) care for, but to suggest that there is not ANY white man more racist than he is, is just plain silly.

[tdolan04]

Jackson is a racist !!!!!!Plain and simple

[skidrow75]

toally agree!

[WhyToob]

I repeat: "to suggest that there is not ANY white man more racist than he is, is just plain silly."

[tdolan04]

The only reason anybody tolerates him is his color.

[rightandwrongktstfm]

Great to know that ole' dumbass is still living in the 60's. Catch more about this right here at rightandwrongktstfm

[cpaxley]

I didn't hear an apology! In spite of his opening statement, his foul comments and insulting, mean-spirited remarks were not addressed. He never said, "I am so sorry for the inexcusable remarks I made. I was so full of myself, and frankly arrogant. I often think of myself, unworthily, as a mouthpiece for the black people. What I said was embarrassing, and revealed something unsavory about myself, and the fact that I thought it was private, is no excuse."

[StopBSing]

he is a fake with an agenda to fill his pocket!!!he is a racist,talk about being divisive,in his ideas,and beliefs.wanna be MLK.

[sirnewbz]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[hdscis]

Jackson, your bullshit exceeds all! Just like when the devastation hit New Orleans.... you show up and give a suffocating speech! Why didn't you get your lard ass in a boat and help rescue those people??!! Why don't you DO SOMETHING instead of spewing your endless drivel!!!

[triczka]

What a racially diverse audience.

[Heroyesterday]

Wtf do you need to apologize for? It's not like the comments section of some horses ass of a person matters.

Apologize if you want. Do you need to be coddled and consoled? "It's ok, you said you're sorry, so you've redeemed yourself. That's a good boy."

"And I'm out". Good. Gtfo. Doesn't matter if you stay or go, and the need to announce it is comedic.

[Heroyesterday]

Refuted, difuted. Pushed a D instead of an R. Woo.

Go ahead and disagree, not like everyone is going to think the correct thing. But to go all typical and make the generalizations? Just goes to show age and intelligence. Feel free, think what you like. Doesn't mean it's right though. : )

[SKiTzShow]

The generalization shows that I'm human. The apology shows my age. And the refusal to acknowledge and accept my apology shows yours.

And I'm out!

[spliffsperlunk]

iF JESSIE JACKSON WOULD LIKE TO CASTRATE BARACK OBAMA I WONDER WHAT HE WOULD LIKE TO DO TO BILL COSBY .

[ConcentrationCampUSA]

WARNING-Concentration Camps have been built in America!

WITHIN THE NEXT TWO YEARS THE US DOLLAR WILL BECOME ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS. This will lead to rightly enraged Americans that will attempt to revolt and restore Constitutional Government. In response to this eventuality, Traitors within the US government have built slave-labor/Concentration camps for Americans who dissent.

WE CAN STOP IT IF WE WARN ENOUGH PEOPLE!

See my profile for the Proof...

[culturewarri0r]

You people make me sick. You think its "talking down" to someone when they talk about being a responsible parent? Go get a job you ignorant, lazy, worthless sack of shit.

[Heroyesterday]

You fall back on broad sweeping generalizations when your point gets difuted.

That's ok little guy, as you get older, you'll be able to think better. : )

[SKiTzShow]

"difuted"?

Apparently you fall back on nonexistent words when your arguments are REfuted.

But seriously, the Canadian remark was uncalled for. I'm just in a bad mood. I apologize...but I still disagree.

[MachShot1337]

Did he seriously say there was a "broader" discusion to the comment of "I want to cut his nuts off?".

[Heroyesterday]

It boggles your mind? It boggles mine that you can't grasp the simple definition of what a Double Standard is.

Instead you're bringing where someone works into it? Irrelevant!

[SKiTzShow]

I agree there is a double standard...this is not an example.

My point remains valid and without a degree in elementary education I don't know how to break it down for you any simpler.

Had I known you were Canadian I never would've started the discussion.

Pardon me

[Heroyesterday]

The context is the same. Imus said it over media, Jackson said it over media. Imus got fired, Jackson walked away with no fallout.

Double standard? Yup.

[spliffsperlunk]

Wait a minute now... Jessie is black as is barrak (at least visibly) so he doesnt have to lose his job (whatever thet is) now if jessie had been white THEN he would have to lose his job, at least thats the way it works in america.

[my45ze]

If jesse was a TV broadcaster he might. But he is not. What is jesse's job anyway?

[SKiTzShow]

Imus was employed by the media vehicle through which he made is statement. Jackson was not.

Fox News (or whatever channel it is) can't fire Jackson because he doesn't work for them. Imus worked for NBC so it was their responsibility to fire him or else the company would look bad.

Fox doesn't look bad because of Jackson's statements...Jackson does.

It boggles my mind that this is so difficult for you to understand. Cry & complain about racial injustice if you want, but you're way off.

[916superman22]

What are they supposed to do? Fire him from giving speeches? Possibly give him a job and then fire him?

[Heroyesterday]

Yes I forgot. Jackson doesn't have an 'employer' yet recieves a salary. My mistake.

They did the same thing. Regardless of who works where, you're point is based on semantics.

[SKiTzShow]

Jackson is an "activist". Vocationally, I don't even know what that means.

Anyway, my argument was valid. If I walked outside right now and grabbed some chick's butt, I would get slapped and possibly arrested (not likely), but my employer wouldn't care.

However, if I walked up to the secretary at my office and grabbed her butt, I would be out of a job.

It's an issue of context...not semantics.

[Kognitive]

Regardless of how many times he apologizes, he still meant what he said about Barack, and it's shit like this that makes black people look bad. Why would white people wanna vote for Barack, if a so called black leader doesnt even trust in him. Jesse is a puppet now, at one point in time he was trying to uplift black people and march and shit. Now someone else is pulling his strings and he's nothing more then just a face now with no beliefs and true feelings. Take a RED PILL people

[13370m6]

KIss IT!!! KIss It!!! lollolllollolololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­l

[Heroyesterday]

So Don Imus says "Nappy Headed Hoes" and gets fired. Jackson says he wants to Chop off Obama's Testicles and there's no backlash for him.

DOUBLE STANDARDS! YAY!

[SKiTzShow]

Actually Heroyesterday the circumstances are a little different. Imus was an employee of the radio station and he made the statement on air. It would be like a businessman making a completely unacceptable comment in the middle of a business meeting. Imus faced backlash because he made his employer look bad.

Jackson's idiocy only reflects badly on himself.

Yes, blacks can get away with saying more than whites (racial jokes, etc), but I wouldn't complain. You guys have some perks too.

[916superman22]

You have to work someplace to get fired. Jackson didn't work for fox so how could fox fire him?

[SKiTzShow]

Thank you 916superman22. I'm glad someone understands that.

[khalifa987]

This guy makes black people look worse than red necks....so dirty its beyond words.

[sheup85]

I think Jesse is jealous because Barak have made it this far in his quest for the White House and he caame nowhere close. Barak comment was about upliftment not to look down at black men which is why I have found nothing else but jealousy. He haven't really been rallying behind Barak........hmmm? Whatever in in a man'ss heaart will come out and it just did for Jesse.

[M3T4LH34D812]

Jesse Jackson has been working hard for years clearing a path through a metaphorical wilderness in American politics. Often during times he must have felt utterly alone, I personally don't like alot of what has been said, but I greatly admire his perseverance.

[gungagin]

I heard no apology. What an ass!

[my45ze]

He apologized to Obama in his last speech..

[suisenbenjo]

Wow, what a big man to admit what you said when you were caught on camera. Incorrect title BTW. He never apologized for shit.

[eastwood13]

I didnt hear Jesse apologize for his comments about Obama and I watched the video twice...

[tomme1981]

Ha Ha. Jackson is so jealous of Obahma.

Well Jesse if you had kept your holier than thou dick in your trousers and stayed faithful to your wife, you might have been the first black President of the US.

Well I'm afraid you just come across as a bitter and twisted loser!

[UniqueExposures]

Jackson is and will always be an complete and total IDIOT! This fool does nothing but make the rest of us stop and go , " ok what the hell is this idiot talking about now". If he is the respresintation of religon? That is the sadest statement of all. He needs to shut the hell up and learn to speak ENGLISH and act like he has some sort of brain.

[Imat00l]

THis piece of shit is now grabbing straws trying veer attention away from his real stupidities. How come after all this time of the shit he's pulled, organizations still pay him to speak like this "afriKan-ameriKan "library"?

[jtpaladin]

Jackson is the scum of the earth. He shakes down companies and threatens them that he will have black people not buy any of their products. This pig has been doing this for years. When Dr. King was killed, this sub-human smeared King's blood all over his shirt and lied by saying that King died in his arms. The witnesses on the scene said that was a lie. When he worked in a restaurant in his early years, he would spit in the food of white people all the time. He's a racist piece of trash.

[WinkstheBeast]

he makes a point though, obama was talking down to blacks, 'not as "good" as lil' wayne?' hiring bernie mac to perform at one of his dinners and then telling him he needs to tone it down, lol.. you serious? fist bumping, btw what year is this, fist bumping is 'cool' again? this 1998? telling people wilco is on his ipod, just run for president and discuss your issues, stop trying so hard to be hip, bitch.

[camronsfans]

I agree he's hating on obama because obama has done something that he couldn't do

[SharkDude1]

Jessie is the biggest train wreck anyone has ever seen!  He has sex with other women, He is a pure disgrace to the Blacks, and as a human being!! He is pure scum!! How anybody can say Jessie Jackson is a good person is behond me! Hes a lier, a fraud, a cheating husband, and well....The rest of you can add more to the list of Scum that he is.

[Zingquest]

Let me take a wild guess here, SharkDude1. You're white.

[SharkDude1]

What the frick does MY race have anything to do with it? Let me guess. You're black.

[Zingquest]

Well, I can tell you're white, because in your comment, you refer to "the Blacks". I'm also white - but it's probably a little harder for you to tell - I'm open-minded and detest racism.

[WhyToob]

While I agree that Jackson has errored often in his life, I find it difficult to agree with you that he is "the biggest train wreck anyone has ever seen." In fact, I find that comment quite irrational. I concur, marital infidelity is hardly admirable, but if every man guilty of falling in this area were included on your "scum" list, then Ben Franklin, Einstein and Newt Gingrich would also occupy a place there. Perhaps you call them "scum," too. I think many great men wrestle great weaknesses.

[desmond53486]

hes hating on obama cause nobody didnt back him when he was going 4 president. OBAMA IS SAYING BIG UP 2 ALL MY HAAATERRRRRSSSS.reverends make mistakes 2 they are human 2 but u gotta watch what u say when u say it especially in his position.

[IssekHeys]

TO: 404ErrorNotfound.

I AGREE WITH YOU.

My life spent and will always be a part of the woven, hue fabric of my community, my opinions often differ from many of those of my kind.

"Messy Jesse" is simply rediculous and irrelevant.

[MrCarelo]

what a wierd country the U.S is. I cant understand how you put up with it.

[beautifulprincessM]

He rhymes :)

[KinnariKreme]

I love Rev. Jackson; he's brilliant and insightful.

He may have made a million mistakes but who hasn't?

The comments on Youtube prove that racism is alive and well in the US.

Rev. Jackson hits the nail on the head when he talks about how banks were allowed to operate without regulation.

Thanks to Repulicrats and Democlicans.

[404ErrorNotfound]

Many black people like scream racism EVEN when racism doesn't exist so they can get free handouts.

Examples:

Problem: An uneducated black person didn't land a job.

Solution: scream racism

Problem: A black person with bad credit didn't get a loan from a bank.

Solution: scream racism.

THE END...

[TehBunnysBack]

Wait wait wait wait, are we talking about colorizing the moon or redeeming dead black mens dignity?

[ArcticSlicer]

A lot of people in the black community are disappointed in Barack Obama for not taking on the corporate power structure and failing to address issues facing "black America". A disproportionate amount of black people are poor, in prison, etc. and Barack Obama is not addressing these issues.

What Jesse Jackson said was little more than angry words that he now regrets. Is best to accept his apology and move on.

[404ErrorNotfound]

ArcticSlicer

Jesse Jackson is a racist, con artist, and a hypocrite!

Jackson is jealous of Obama and hates him because he isn't on the, "HATE WHITY" bandwagon.

HE STIRS UP... BULLSHIT ... FOR HIS OWN... PERSONAL AGENDA.

What about the NAACP? They don't do jack shit for black people!! They only help black people if they know they can get a media coverage. They get rich from pocketing contribution money!

[404ErrorNotfound]

* if they know they can get media coverage.

[404ErrorNotfound]

Jesse Jackson is an idiot and a racist.

[AIDINSWE]

JESSE JACKSON IS BLACK TRASH

[batd]

There goes Mr. Jackson again with a big spoon to stir up his controversy.

[cha5]

"I'd like to cut his ****s off"

Real nice rev.

[404ErrorNotfound]

Isn't a "Reverend" supposed to be a man of God? @_@

[Dsmdaddio]

He's so full of crap. He showed his true colors and now he tries to double talk his way out of it. Give it up Jesse. You are no longer significant.

[petergriffen222002]

All he does is try to look into putting how the white is keeping black down in anything white guys say one thing he brands us a racist he himself just hates whites and gets paid for it.

[BillyJack7]

What a wonderful Christian and wonderful American and wonderful human this racist man is!

[Skibum4life]

Finally, his true colors are reveled. He is a racist asshole. Obamas speech was brilliant! I see him rolling down Lake Shore Drive in his personal limo, he likes to keep the black people down. Blaming everything on race and the past. He is a cock sucker. I wish I could smack him in the face.

[sweetpsychopath]

Jackson did nothing wrong, he spoke about his feelings on obama and his "actions" towards black people.

[akbad101]

JESSIE!

We respect you... but, it's time, now, to sit down and shut up regarding presidential issues or candidates.

[petergriffen222002]

Why respect a racist? who is keeping racism alive in this country. Just because he was around the late great MLKJ makes no difference this old fuck is scum.

[petergriffen222002]

All jesse jackson does is make everything about race when it is not. he is sick and you guys are sick for respecting him.

[lathegod]

Why would he be sorry? He's not blind, like the rest of you sheep. Do you really believe Hussein will take care of black people? Jesse see's that, & he spoke his mind! Jesse must be a racist, huh? Fucking sheep. Obama's a con artist, don't be so fucking naive!

[vegasking1000]

It's losers like him that make the church look bad. He's a hot-headed, good for nothing failure in my opinion. "Reverend" is just a title, nothing else. Anyone who claims to be an ordained minister and then goes and does this is in serious need of self-control. I'm not an Obama fan by any stretch of the imagination, but there's no possible way I can support Jackson. He's never going to be truly sorry about his comments and that just shows that he's pathetic.

[wolviex2008]

He is still not sorry.

[SunBMoon]

whatever happened to his wife and also his baby mama?

[SPIKEMINODA08]

shut the fuck up!!!!! jesse jackson is a sell out.

[briansdaleo]

Shame on Rev. Jackson. He is supposed to be a minister and above such thoughts and comments. He is a disgrace in many ways.

[han3nah]

blah blah blah

[ezsmile12]

There is no apology from Jessie. He made rotten remarks about one of his own and now regrets that anyone HEARD him talking! He got caught mouthing his true feelings!

[marvin117]

I concurr

[ezsmile12]

Jessie Jackson is the problem! He gives false information to pacify his listeners. Banks were not steering they were being lenient towards those who had poor credit! They gave loans to people who should not have gotten them in the first place! People who took ARM loans KNEW they would ADJUST! Now Jessie, wants the Government to bail them out! Typical! Blame others, then ask txpayers to pay!

[007ObiWan]

If Jesse had threatened to remove Michelle's bodyparts, she would have actually removed one of Jesse's.
