"A spokesman for the Rev. Jesse Jackson on Thursday evening denied a claim from a man who says he was fired from the Civil Rights leader’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition because he is gay."

"The Windy City Times story claims Bennett, in his complaint with the city, said he was forced to escort women for Jackson into hotel rooms — and later clean up the rooms."

I've seen you complain multiple times about the number of gay threads made by gay members on here.

The irony, or is it hypocrisy

Nope. The hypocrisy is on those that say blacks cannot be biased or racist.

Ohhhh, this is just too delicious to ignore. I always thought there was more to the race-baiting community agitator than meets the eye.

I see a lot of homophobia in the Black Community and a lot of racism in the Gay Community. It's never made sense to me but I guess some people function by the foxhole mentality: "If we can get accepted that's all that matters--screw everyone else."

I never liked that sleazy guy. He has always tried to present himself almost like the heir to MLK, but he has never had MLK's charisma. Not to mention Jackson's moral issues and dubious behavior...

The Gay love of style and elegance clashes with the gritty toughness and machismo in the Black community.
