"What does this say about America?"

Hmmmm, that we elected an anti-American Socialist who wants to bankrupt our coal plants and create a civilian military force that's as well funded as our regular military? Ya, that about sums it up...

Upvote for the fake tears from Jesse Jackson, who's been a poker star for years (the Race Card always beats a flush).

Another up-vote from a fellow atheist "anti-American Socialist". With tears in my eyes over the closing coal plants!

This will be, for me, one of the most iconic moments in this historic event that will be forever etched into American history books. It is a great moment for this country and one I am proud to be part of. This image of Jesse will live with me forever.

Awesome, you kids are happy when Jesse Jackson is happy. Even black people know enough to dislike Jesse Jackson. He's an angry racist and you're supporting him. Massive tools.

Yea, I'm not a big fan of his policies but there's gotta be somebody on every extreme I guess...

Why do you say "Even black people"? Why must you insist that all those who you perceive as belonging to the socially constructed group "black" as having a certain view or capacity? - And don't give me that "Because that's how he sees it." crap.

Do we on sift have no accountability for this type of speech from sifters themselves?

Just because somebody views this as a defining moment, doesn't mean they "support" anything.

Because black people are starting to realize they shouldn't support Jesse Jackson. It's taken many years, but he's finally losing favor.

Accountability? Who are you going to go cry to? I accept the cursing and vitriol and even a libel video without whining like a little girl. Just work it out now...

"The Rev Jackson had already said sorry for saying of Mr Obama that he would like to "cut off his nuts" for talking down to black people.

He was speaking off-air on Fox News and did not realise that his comments to a fellow guest were being picked up by a microphone.

It has now emerged that he said: "Barack...he's talking down to black people...telling niggers how to behave."

Fox News said it had no immediate plans to broadcast Mr Jackson's full comments."

He's crying because now he'll never have the chance to cut his damn nuts off : ( damn secret service :'' (

This victory will do great things for african-american psyche. Instill a whole lot of pride. Racist America is dying.

I never had the respect for Jackson that I have for Obama. I'm not sure many do. Being an advocate for "blacks" is only slightly less helpful than being an advocate for "whites". You can't ignore race issues in America, yet, somehow, Obama just did. Can we finally just forget about that half a millimeter of skin? It's getting really old.

And yes, it was extremely moving, as was this video.

Je$$e "Booty Call" Hi-Jackson is weeping 'cause now that Obama made it, he can't shill his "America is evil/racist" crap so easily.

Wow, what an opportunity!! Did you guys get the tears on my face? Good good.

>> ^CaptainPlanet420: "He's an angry racist"

CaptainPlanet420, what a clown... He's definitely got some issues, but "angry racist" isn't really one of them.

^He IS an angry racist and you know it.

Anyway, America was founded on racism and slave labour so what do you expect.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

This thread makes me sad. Is this the YouTubeification of VideoSift?

The color of one's skin doesn't matter, or rather shouldn't matter. This just shows that it does matter. So, I suppose a small step for a man, a giant leap for America.

It is very obvious that Rev. Jackson is making sure the camera gets a good shot of those few fake tears he was able to shed. I mean could he at least wipe them away at "some point" during the entire broadcast? What a phony show of support for Obama he is giving for all to see. Well I am not one to be so easily fooled. His time of old school constant cries of racism have now come and gone. That is the real reason for the tears you see. Obama has managed to do within 2 years of campaigning what he attempted to do his entire Life! That was to build a "TRUE RAINBOW COALITION" of people here in our country. God truly has Blessed America!
