There is a special place in hell, in Satan's toilet for these men.

100% absolutely correct! Kudos

"Jabbar, 33, a university instructor and lawyer in his native country of Bangledesh [sic] explained the owner's decision to rename the restaurant insisting he meant no harm and is a firm supporter of Obama, reports the New York Times. He thought is was a good idea because the people in the neighborhood 'love' him and thought it would evoke a sense of pride. 'From this love, everything is happening,"' Jabbar said, exhausted from all the hype."

Must be a slow protest week....

Lol Houston. Exactly what I was thinking. Jesse Jackson protested in a city I lived in named Decatur, Illinois. Some black students attacked another student at a football game. They nearly beat that kid to death and in the process broke an older woman's hip. They were expelled from school. All were horrible students with a history of trouble, and deserved expulsion from their actions. He and his rainbow push coalition came and demonstrated. He was told to leave school property, when he failed to, the Decatur Police arrested him for trespassing lol.

Point of all that is, they are only racial inciters. If the racism dries up, they will lose their income and self sense of importance.

I don't care what these 'Black leaders' consider racist. They live better here than anywhere in the countries which Blacks comprise a majority.

Maybe these 'community leaders' would get somewhere if they went after the incredible amount of crime, murder, gangs, and out-of-wedlock births in the African-American community than chasing after alleged racism.

When Barack Obama was elected President,showing that the nation was less race conscious, many wondered whether the professional black protestors like Sharpton would still be relevant. Considering that they are now protesting a fried chicken store, I guess the answer is NO.

Still wondering when Al is going to shut down the rap/hip hop artists. Quite ironic, Imus gets rehired, makes more $ with better ratings, and fat Al is standing in front of a chicken joint.

Exactly just like Jena 6 that boy has been in trouble again and again since and before but yet they protested. Pathetic!

Some people will call racist at anything. Sharpton being involved proves this is the case.

I beg your pardon. It's the Jena Six, not the Jena One.

I take it you're talking about the one who was arrested for shoplifting on Christmas Eve and then shot himself.

According to wikipedia's footnoted entry (all dated 2007),

One is going to junior college on a basketball scholarship,
One is going to a private school after working with a local attorney and winning that attorney's recommendation,
One graduated from HS, got out of Jena and is working at a hotel,
One got out of Jena and completed HS in another state,
One transferred to another school and graduated.
The one who shot himself is back in school.

Hope you're not too disappointed! Happy Easter to all of them and to you!
