Jesse Jackson said WHAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!

OK so the story has been in the news the past few days about Jesse Jacksons remarks about Barack Obama allegedly speaking down to black people.....


My Fraternity Brother Roland Martin of CNN had this to say about it:
http://essence.typepad.com/news/2008/07/rev-jackson-owe.html

"There have been two constants in this presidential campaign: Sen. Barack Obama will openly discuss his faith and present some of today's most troublesome issues through a moral prism. And the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. will say something outlandish and stupid that he will have to apologize for.

First, he told a reporter in South Carolina last year that Obama was "acting white" in his response to the issues in Jena, Louisiana. Then the good Rev wrote an op-ed piece proclaiming that then-Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards was the only one speaking to issues of importance to African Americans.
Now, in his most vile and pathetic comments yet, Jackson was overhead telling a fellow panelist prior to an interview on Fox that he was going to cut Obama's "nuts off" for his speeches on morality and fatherhood in the black community.
Rewind that for a moment. An African American reverend - someone who is called by God to speak to moral issues of the day - takes issue with an African American presidential candidate speaking about faith-based issues and the need for black men to take care of their children, for parents to care about their child's health, and to turn the television off and to start reading more and more books?
If there was any further evidence needed to show that Rev. Jackson has lost his moral compass and is far out of touch with the state of black America today, this is it. And it is clear that Jackson has forgotten that as a minister, his first goal is to always address the moral issues before anything else."
