Jess Jackass finally admits that being a "black man" has nothing to do with the color of your skin!

The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Wednesday night criticized Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.) for voting against the Democrats’ signature healthcare bill.
“We even have blacks voting against the healthcare bill,” Jackson said at a reception Wednesday night. “You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.”
Davis, who is running for governor, is the only black member of Congress from Alabama.
He is also the only member of the CBC to have voted against the healthcare bill earlier this month.
Davis referred to Jackson’s 1988 run for president in a statement, issued through his office, that said he would not engage Jackson on his criticism.
“One of the reasons that I like and admire Rev. Jesse Jackson is that 21 years ago he inspired the idea that a black politician would not be judged simply as a black leader,” Davis’s statement said. “The best way to honor Rev. Jackson’s legacy is to decline to engage in an argument with him that begins and ends with race.”
Jackson said later that he "didn't call anybody by name and I won't."...
...Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Texas) said each man was doing what he considered the right thing.
"People have a right to vote their constituency, and people have a right to speak their conscience," Jackson-Lee said. "Both happened."

No, you can for FOR healthcare and call yourself an idiot.
I thought black people were free these days, what with slavery having been abolished and all.
Drats! Repost! I searched the word ‘jackson’ before posting and no hits. But saw another thread in ‘Extended News’ after posting. I did another search after posting this thread, and only my thread generates a hit, not the other thread. Drats! Anyway, sorry.
Keep in mind that Obama isn’t a black man... hes a liberal white woman!

It is quite ironic that a black president and Jesse Jackson are leading the charge for Americans, of all races, to become slaves.
RIP Black American Freedom, 1865 to 2009
How about we change a few words — Once you find out about the reparations in the government rationed healthcare, no white guy(or women) could possibly vote for this crap.
Thanks for finally coming out and proving that “black” is a political mindset not a skin color...

It happens.
Someone should tell him that standing in a line with your hand out is no way to go throgh life!
Yes, we have an accidental truth escaping from JJ -
it’s stealth reparations. Nothing less.
Forgive me, but when this sorry excuse for a human being reaches room temperature, I will not shed a tear. (Jackson, I mean)
Add that to your requirements list titled “What you MUST do/believe to be considered Black enough.” Nothing at all racist about demanding all blacks think alike, otherwise you are off the plantation....

Who exactly appointed Jesse to the position of G-d?
How about: “You can’t call yourself a FREE man and a supporter of FREEDOM and vote FOR it!!”
