09/19/2007: "Jackson calls Obama "white" for not defending Jena attacker"

The Rev. Jesse Jackson criticized Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., for "acting like he's white" when it comes to the case of six young blacks who were charged with crimes in Jena, La., according to The (Charleston, S.C.) State.

Back in 1984, when he was running for president, Jackson was quoted calling Jews "Hymie" and New York "Hymietown." He issued a "non-denial-denial" at the time, according to a story about the incident that appeared in American Journalism Review.

[ The Jena innocent black victim is actually a four-time felon. Obama is too politically savvy to get involved with someone who, if given time, will offend again and make his defenders look like idiots. ]

But the white kids tieing the ropes should still be fined and charged at least with criminial mischief or something similiar as defending someone for criminial mischief or inciting riots is just liberal and christian as defending felons.

where do multicultural groups get off defending felons or incriminating kids for tieing ropes that had nothing to do with trying to hang someone.
