Where are they now? We all knew where they stood when Travon Martin was killed, but apparently racism only goes one way. 3 Black teens assault a white boy on a bus in florida and all Jackson has to say about it is "They got what they deserved" they got 9 months probation. And Obama, sharpton, neither of them seem to have a thing to say about it, but Travon Martin gets killed and none of them can keep their mouthes shut. Now thats one case. But one week ago 3 Blacks, 2 adults one teen. Shot and killed an Australian college student in Oklahoma for "fun" apparently, but he did apparently post racist tweets on twitter. And once again Sharpton, jackson, none of them have a thing to say about it. Now this is getting rediculous and its really bothering me, this one sided bull crap by these so called civil rights activists who basically make their livings off stirring up racial conflicts. Any thoughts?

they dont get upset about those things because they dont fit their narrative that whites are always preying on blacks. when the tables are turned they just shrug their shoulders and walk away usually without comment.

Why do the opinions of these specific men (Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson) hold such value for YOU?

Not valued by me, their opinions are valued by millions around the nation. Obviousily they got to where they are now because so many people supported what they said. And i also include obama on this list considering his quote about travon was "it could of been my son", and he has said nothing about these other two cases, im concerned about the direction this country is going and with these bafoons rileing up the black community against whites and totally ignoring the black on white violence, it doesnt seem like were going the right way at all.

To answer your question, their opinions dont have to matter to me, they already matter to and influence millions negetavly

if they dont matter, then why are you complaining about them not commenting.

too many whites think sharpton and jackson are the official spokesman of black people because the white media uses them as there go to guys on racial issues.

nothing is being divided.

its just people who want division amongst the races spending all day race baiting.

nobody is talking about these events in my daily conversations i have.

these are isolated occurrences, the criminals have been charged and will be sentenced.

leave it at that.

your just buying into the media narrative spending your time dwelling on this minor stuff.

Not just me who disagrees with you, and you can google search that. If it wasn't a big deal it wouldn't be on the news, and Obama wouldn't be making speeches. 9 months probation to the kids who broke this poor boys ribs and arm.... My friend got a years probation for having less than a gram of pot on him. And jessie jackson has the nerve to tell the press these kids got just what they deserved, thats a big deal to me, injustice is a big deal to me and id like to think this nation.
