How many of the police were black nimrod?

Hmmmm, interesting eh. Maybe it was just bad police work and due to color at all!

Inconceivable….! As the liberals know, anything done to a “person of color” is racially motivated!

Why can’t the liberals be as unbiased as conservatives and leave race out of things?

What are you talking about Nimrod?
How does the color of a shooting victim have anything to do with black leadership?

Oh..you mean the victims were shot because of racism?

I think you should probably look up non-sequitur first. Partly because you can’t spell it and partly because what do you think it means? Or don’t you think it means anything, it just looks clever and prevents your having to actually deal with what’s been said?

I think you should form your own political party & run your own candidates. It’s the only way you will get your voices heard.
I’d welcome any 3rd party at this point. Blacks & Hispanics make a good starting point.

Hey “S” (I am starting to figure out what that stands for….)

Look up “non-sequitor” in a dictionary and then get back to me…

“maybe we should just pretend that the “people shouldn’t be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character… Oh, yea, well, crazy idea…”

Sure, pedugger. Like the men gunned down by the cops in New York a few days ago?

Hey ollie, I have an idea…maybe we should just pretend that the “people shouldn’t be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character…”

Oh, yea, well, crazy idea…

As I understand it, Jackson had a press conference yesterday, after Richards appeared on his Sunday radio show, and stated that the new Seinfeld DVD set should be boycotted. Funny how he didn’t say anything about it before the radio show.

And when did Jackson and Sharpton become the black “leaders” to whom one must kiss their rings in order to appropriately apologize? Given Jackson’s and Sharpton’s histories with racial slurs (“Hymietown”) and race-baiting (“Tawana Brawley”) I don’t see where they have the moral authority to “foregive” anyone.

One note that is refreshing- Senator Obama still seems to represent leadership in the media vs. black leadership.

Hear, hear. It would be so nice for smart leadership to win out over racial politics. I still don’t understand what the CBC is doing backing Alcee Hastings. They have to know what a lame candidate he is.

JP: If you’re saying Rep Waters is right about ending the “N – word” in entertainment, I wholeheartedly agree. If it ever gets from the comedians’ mouths to the sitcom writers’ ears, it will fall into common usage.
I cringe now when I try to watch BET Comedy or that Michael Epps Show, and hear that word.
It is so ingrained in me from childhood that that is a “bad word” (a “go stay in your room this afternoon and think about how bad it was to use that word” word) that I expect someone to come from offstage, and grab these thugs by the ear, and drag them offstage.
Someone with some authority has to stop it somewhere.
It’s been tried before. Maybe, thanks to Richards’ boorishness, it can succeed this time.

James- it’s an AP report, not a Fox News report.

I’m curious, Oliver- what do you think Jackson says differently than others like Maxine Waters? Don’t get me wrong- I know that you’ve never been a big fan of Jackson, but most of the annointed “real black leadership” (from a media standpoint) tend to echo Jacksonian rhetoric.

One note that is refreshing- Senator Obama still seems to represent leadership in the media vs. black leadership.

I hope that it doesn’t become a requirement for him to represent all black people any more that Jesse demands to represent ‘all black people.”

And while I’m on this stream- look for Jesse Jackson demand from Seinfeld and portion of DVD sales profits to be given to one of Jackson’s “charities” in order to lift the “boycott.”

I think you’re being a little hard on Jesse Jackson.

It’s been a long time since anyone outside of white-power enclaves considered Jackson to be speaking for all or even a majority of African-Americans.

I’d also like to check with Jackson, himself, on Fox News’s report that Jackson asked the public not to buy the Seinfeld DVD set. I Jackson’s radio show on Sunday night and I didn’t hear anything like that. The tone of the show was about conciliation and healing, not boycott.

And Maxine Waters is right.
