confession is good for he soul, Jesse its your turn

[freein2339]

I wonder why Black conservatives never speak up against racism..???

[jacksondarryl34]

Naw!! I dint think he meant that he moved intentionally so that who ever shot King to get a better shot i think he meant that the killer waited for him to move to get a better shot! Dont think Im apologizing, im a black and as radical as they come, but this is a little suspect!

[TriBev83]

All I can say is "wow"

The sad fact is that we are coming to terms with this 30-40 years later. We need to become more proactive when situations like this arise: we're often a day late and a dollar short. Going forward the standard should become that any time there appears to be impropiety involved with black political activism we need to jump on it and gain control of the media images and process right away. Bill Lyles running around the country talking about he was MLK's friend - he ought to be shamed of himself.

Keep your eyes on the puppeteer and not the puppet. Every weak man has a price. Jesse is weak. And i ddnt realize just how weak until he got caught slandering President Obama. And Billy Kyles shud be strung by his toes for corrupting the movement as well. May God have mercy on both of their souls for betraying his friend and mentor.

ive seen jesse jackson before...that opportunist...

[DavidOwenWard]

@dlivingto NOOOOOOOO Whites (CIA) had that done, but used blacks to get the job done. Get it straight!!!

[rwcwetback]

Only two things will bring light to those with darkness in their hearts: The Truth of Allah, and the hellfire. La hawla wala quwata illa billah. Salaam.

[dlivingto]

OMG...OMG...So what happens now?????? This makes me so sad...Now we know that Blacks had a hand in killing both Malcolm and Martin...

[rjohson]
