that is absolutely not correct at all. You should be ashamed of yourself for making such an insensitive and ignorant statement. It is beliefs like this that are creating all these idiotic stories of racism I am forced to stomach when scrolling through the "news". I absolutely cannot stand jesse and believe he has done more to hurt people of color. I suppose you would call me a racist? Go ahead and I will unleash a torrent on you that will leave you feeling like an absolute fool. Anyone who generalizes like that just needs to go away. The only thing worse than ignorance is believing your ignorance is doing the right thing!

BTW, you mentioned a random number of 10 but did not list one thing. good job...

With the vast number of threads posted about blacks recently, each additional "he's a black man, what has he done" threads adds to the racist flavor of this board recently.

The fact that no one is starting these threads about white guys provides and inkling of the continuing racial/racist focus.

More and more of these racist threads pop up every day.

Don't hear you whining about Pat Robertson, et. al.
Only blacks.
____
We don't respond as you want to a blatantly racist thread, so we're Obama-like.
Bogus.
If the thread would have been about Pat Robertson, I would have said so much of the same ... "A money grubbing racist fool, out to serve his interest, and his interest only" ...

Why don't you start a thread about good ole Pat ... You may be surprised to learn that we Americans don't have much use for daisey-do-gooders who's only concern is to line their own pockets.

There was a thread criticizing Jimmy Carter, Joe Wilson, Glenn Beck among other Caucasian individuals. The thread asked someone to provide 10 specific things Jessie Jackson did to benefit African Americans. It's a legitimate question.

And who supports him?
I am neutral, he does not affect my life.
Does he really affect yours?

when he stirs up a pot without bothering to research it he damn sure does.. I'm sure some students at Duke University wish his dumb a$$ never showed up.

This was your response to the question: "Name 10 things he hasn't(done to help Black people)." You couldn't provide 10 things so you evaded it by answering the question with a question.

No, I have no opinion, I haven't researched him.
I have no intention to answer this question because it's just to stir things up.

I'm neutral.
Does he affect your life or are you just trying to stir up bs about nothing?

I'm tempted to start a thread with the following title:

"Name 10 things Glenn Beck has done to tangibly help the white people he claims to represent."
