The bigotry of faux racist victims: "You can't vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man."

.
It's a shame that for the most part, the black community of the United States is led by racebaiters and scum like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

One has to wonder: is equality their motivation? Or is it more a matter of dollars and cents?

After all, under any other circumstances, a lying little bitch like Al "Tawana Brawley makes a great ad for Glad Bags" Sharpton and a sleazeball like Jesse "Hymie Town - adultery is my middle name" Jackson wouldn't be allowed to run an elevator, let alone be given the national spotlight on demand.

I have frequently wondered why anyone would give a crap what either of these two scum think, see, want, desire or care about. Continued racist division, fostered by these two (among others) is a growth industry keeping them in expensive suits, first class restaurants and the national spotlight. Why is it in their best interests to actually strive to unify when working so hard to divide pays so well?

And for a scumbag to play the race card for anyone black and smart enough to vote against this moronic socialization of healthcare is part of the reason that I despise scum like this... and ANY race-based consideration of anything.

Jesse Jackson: 'You can't vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man'

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.”

The remark stirred a murmur at the reception, held by the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Foundation as part of a series of events revolving around the 25th anniversary of Jackson’s run for president. Several CBC members were in attendance, including Chairwoman Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), who’d introduced Jackson.

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.”
