Acting White
I’m just curious why it’s alright for Jesse Jackson to criticize Barrack Obama’s response to the student beatings in Jena by saying that Obama is, “acting like he’s white.”
Imagine the shoe being on the other foot and some outspoken, conservative, white person (insert your favorite conservative political pundit here) said that a leading Republican candidate for President was acting, “like he’s black,” in regards to a given situation. Can you imagine what sort of outrage there would be to these “racially insensitive” remarks? Guess who would most certainly be publicly outraged? You guessed it – Jesse Jackson.
Things like this boggle my mind.
