Why are they even mentioned in the context of this post.

I made the statement earlier and say it again, it was only a matter of time before some white person got on the board and insinuated that black people in general would lend support, excuses, or otherwise try to mitigate and/or protect these criminals simply because they were black.

We don't need Jessie to tell us some hoodlums need to be put in jail, why do you??
My only point was that guys like that will try to protect criminals. There are no comparably reputable white spokespeople who would take the same position. Name one please. And David Duke is not comparably reputable. Not even close.

Take that view over to Stormfront and get back with me on the number of posters who support your viewpoint..

Do I give a **** what he says? He doesn't. You're grasping at straws.

Go find me a white leader comparably reputable to Al Sharpton who sticks up for white criminals on the basis of race. I'll be waiting.

Are you arguing with me? Is David Duke as nationally reputable as Al Sharpton? Yes or no?

What you think about him is irrelevant, that doesn't make him less of a spokesman than Al or Jessie!!

Everyone doesn't agree with the President but if he signs a bill into law, your disagreement is nothing but dust in the wind, untill that law is changed.

Sorry but you seem to be drowning in a sea of logic and facts.

Again, I plainly gave you the definition of a spokesperson, "nationally reputable" turned up exactly where in that definition???

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson about as much of "representatives" of Black Americans as David Duke and Rush Limbaugh are "representatives" of White Americans.

It makes him a less reputable spokesman. To the same extent that the new black panthers are less reputable spokespeople. So they are less relevant. Common sense dude.

I never wrote "there are no white people that present themselves as spokespeople for white people". You are misquoting because your argument has been deflated.

I wrote: "White people don't have self-appointed racial spokespeople."

Or in other words, "White mainstream America hasn't gathered around and thrown support to one or two people who claim to speak for White America." But you knew that.

You tried but failed. I can't say I blame you, though.
