Like most liberals, Jackson deflected rather than discuss the issue.

Quote:
“It’s hard to make a comparison,” he told Breitbart. “In one case a man was unarmed, killed by another man. Last year a hundred and thirty five blacks were killed, black men, unarmed, killed by vigilantes, police, killed by security guards, so whether it’s the case of Oakland, Calif., or the case in New York, it’s just too much of it.

Mr. Jackson, what exactly does that have to do with the bus beating?

The beating had nothing to do with race, so don't understand why race baiters are making it about race.

People who snitch on drug dealers get a lot worse than this, are you going to report their stories also.

Where is your outrage for them???

Would you say the same thing if a black 13 year old had been beaten by a mob of white kids?

I'm not saying it, the liberal communist racist media is saying it.

Of course you believe it's a lie, because nobody ever gets beat up over drug dealing, oh noes, it has to be about race.

That is exactly what many liberals would be saying if the races were reversed.

Harrier is glad that you are able to be more objective.

You have a reputation that speaks otherwise.

Depends if it was racially motivated. When we were kids there were many fights on school buses that the drivers ignored - and kids didn't snitch. None were racially motivated.

I have a better question. Where is your outrage sir/madame at the fact that literally all our mainstream media grabbing so called civil rights activists out there only fight for the civil rights of their own race. Civil rights are important for us all, no matter our gender, color, or religious background. The fact that our big name fighters for civil justice only care about one race of people is more than obvious. You never see them stand up and speak out for anyone who is not a black man/woman. These men, the Sharptons and Jacksons of the world, are themselves racists. Their racism is laced into almost everything they do and say. And yet they are the ones our media chooses to spotlight when it comes to civil rights issues. If you won't stand for all, then you are no better than the people you stand against. Because you are just as racist as those you attack for being racist.

We all know that snitches get stitches... this rule has nothing to do with race. This has been the rule since I was in middle school almost 20 years ago in the suburbs. Not saying the kid deserved the beating, but if the kid told teachers about the drugs then it's not out of the ordinary. This was a drug-related offense, not racism.

Paula Deen and Terry Shiavo were Black???

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/30/na...30schiavo.html

Jesse Jackson declares his support for Paula Deen | Bay State Banner | Serving the African American communities of Greater Boston since 1965

When Jackson defends someone White you seem to be ok with it, yet the moment he defends a Black person you call him a racist.
