Nas Hearts Jesse Jackson….NOT!
July 11th, 2008
Honestly, what the hell was Jesse Jackson thinking?? I mean seriously, I’m not the most political individual on the face of this earth, but I damn sure know and idiotic statement such as the one Jesse Jackson made is probably the worst thing you can do next to supporting John McCain (kidding, sort of!) Anyway, this past Sunday, Mr. Jackson revealed his true colors to Reed V. Tuckson, the former chief medical officer for the District of Columbia and President of the Charles Drew University in Los Angeles while waiting to be interviewed on a Fox News program (figures) and said, “Barack has been talking down to black people, I wanna cut his nuts off”. WHAT THE HELL ?????
Who in their right mind would have the guts to even say that in an atmosphere such as that? And why the HELL is he even saying it to another individual when they didn’t even ask how he felt about the man in the first place? Well, word got back to Mr. Untitled, and since it’s already known Nasir and Jesse aren’t BFF (Best Friends Forever), his response was already deemed a classic before I heard it lol. During a conference call, that I missed yesterday, (I’m such an ass), Nas answered
“I think Jesse Jackson, he’s the biggest player hater.His time is up. All you old n—as, time is up. We heard your voice, we saw your marching, we heard your sermons. We don’t wanna hear that sh– no more. It’s a new day. It’s a new voice. I’m here now. We don’t need Jesse; I’m here. I got this. We got Barack, we got David Banners and Young Jeezy’s. We’re the voice now. It’s no more Jesse. Sorry. Goodbye. You ain’t helping nobody in the ‘hood. That’s the bottom line. Goodbye, Jesse. Bye!”
Right on Nas! From this day on, Jesse’s views on anything worth discussing mean SQUAT to me. What merits that type of dialogue with or about anyone? We’re on the brink of having our FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT and the best thing you can come up with is “I want to cut his NUTS OFF”. You washed up civil rights activist, matter fact, your civil rights pass has been revoked, kick rocks Jesse! Hell, even his son was pissed..
“I’m deeply outraged and disappointed in Reverend Jackson’s reckless statements about Senator Barack Obama. His divisive and demeaning comments about the presumptive Democratic nominee – and I believe the next president of the United States – contradict his inspiring and courageous career. Reverend Jackson is my dad and I’ll always love him, but he should know how hard that I’ve worked for the last year and a half as a national co-chair of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. So, I thoroughly reject and repudiate his ugly rhetoric. He should keep hope alive and any personal attacks and insults to himself.”
Of course, Jesse issued some lame ass apology….
“I apologize,” Rev. Jackson said Wednesday. “My support for Senator Obama’s campaign is wide, deep and unequivocal. I cherish this redemptive and historical moment. My appeal was for the moral content of his message, to not only deal with the personal and moral responsibility of Black males, but to deal with the collective moral responsibility of government and the public policy which would be a corrective action for the lack of good choices that often led to their irresponsibility.”
Wheeewww, ethered by Nas and his own son! That’s almost worse than crying on a phone call (sorry, Buck!)
Am I overreacting???? Let me know…..
Oh, and I definitely don’t believe that half ass apology…..TRY AGAIN!
Big shouts to Pamela for the additional quotes! Check out what she had to say about the matter right here…..
Sincerely
Low “So sad, Jesse…SO SAD!” Key
Is anyone really shocked that J.J. would say something like that? I’m not. I’ve been saying for years that what black people have been lacking is someone that could take us (as a nation) “To the Promise land.” Dr. King took black folks as far as the Jordan, (the civil right battles of the sixties), but we’ve been stuck without a Joshua or Caleb to lead us as a nation to the next level. Both Rev. Jackson and Al Sharpton seem to be stuck where Dr. King left off and we really haven’t made much progress even with the significant advances.
To me, what’s been missing has been someone who could not only articulate King’s message and dream, but who could excite the nation to move into the promised land of opportunity and brotherhood. Barack Obama has captured the nations imagination about what not only “could be”, but what “can be.” Just like Martin, Obama makes us believe we can as a country achieve that which the founding fathers of the civil rights movement dreamed of. Until he came along no one could unite us as a country. Jackson and Sharpton continued to remind this nation of its past, but Obama gives us hope for the future.
Contrary to popular belief, we can and will not accomplish this apart from bringing white people aboard and making them feel apart of this. Senator Obama has committed himself to moving the nation forward and not lingering in the past. This is necessary if we are to gain any groungd regarding race relations. There comes a point where you have to forgive past and even present mistakes and place the emphasis on “what we’re going to do now!”
So, seeing Jackson’s display of jealousy and anger towards Obama isn’t at all shocking to me. It should be expected. Change is difficult and many times threatening, even when its for the best. Obama dares to hold us accountable as parents and for our behavior as law-abiding citizens and no one in their right mind should reject that, unless in fact they want to continue to blame others for their condition instead of accepting responsibilty for themselves and taking control of their own lives. Jackson and Sharpton know that if we did this as a people, they would be obsolete as leaders. Obama’s time has come and I believe America is ready for that kind of change.
Jesse Jackson was asked how does he feel about Obama speaking at different churches and his response nowhere near answered the question. His apology is bull**** because if his @$# had not been on . . he wouldn’t be apologizing. His words are bull and full of jealousy and him and Al Sharpton have been hating on Obama since day one because he is doing something they tried to do and didn’t accomplish. I’m sure they offered him advice and his reply in his own way was “I got this!” I disagree with Nas in saying that we don’t need the leaders of yesterday, but we don’t need those that don’t recognize that times have changed and we need leaders who can relate to our people today, our communities and our fight. Our fight is different from the days of the civil rights . . or should I say same fight, different look.
I CANT BELIEVE THAT OUR BLACK COMMUNITY LOOK UP TO THE LIKES OF NAS, HE SPEAKS ABOUT DOING THINGS FOR THE HOOD BUT YET MORE THAN HALF OF THE BLACK MEN ARE IN PRISON, OR DEAD. OUR BLACK MOTHERS ARE LEFT TO DO IT ALONE WITHOUT A STRONG MALE FIGURE IN THEIR LIVES. ITS A SHAME WHAT THIS RACE HAS BECOME. THE HOOD IS STILL THE HOOD. SAME OL’ PEOPLE SAME OL’ STORY. AND LOW KEY YOU ARE OVER REACTING. YOU NEED TO DO A LITTLE RESEARCH ABOUT AFRICAN AMERICANS IN 2008. I KNOW ITS SOME GOOD OUT THERE, BUT OUR NEGATIVE INFLUENCES OUTWEIGH THE BAD. AND BY THE WAY I’M A 21 YEAR OLD MINISTER. IF NAS EVER BEEN TO ANYBODYS CHURCH HE’LL SEE DIFFERENT.. THE HOOD IS LESS THAN ONE PERCENT OF THIS WORLD. THATS WHY ITS SO EASY FOR OTHER RACES TO ACHIEVE BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE TO INTERACT WITH BLACK HOOD FOLK
NAS is a genius.
Hmmm.. Nas… the same guy that named his album N&&&er… and used the expletive more than a few times in this same statement. Yeah we should really listen to what he has to say.
NAS is a genius. Joe your comments make no sense
Jessica you dont even know why he named his album that, do you? Apparently, you dont. But yeah get mad and call him ignorant and whatnot yadda yadda… its what he wants you to do.
Jessica if you listened to the album than you would understand why he named it #@???@. I think this is going to be the best Hip Hop cd in a long time. I was mad when I heard the tittle, but if you listen to the cd, than you will know why. Nas is one of the most straight foward people I know that is in the public guy. He say what he feels and he does retract his statement or apologize for it. Joe, its not Nas fault that black men or in jail and you have ignorance in the hood. That was going on before Nas and it will continue to happen after Nas. These or the things you should bring up to Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton. They the first ones on the scene when there is racial tension between Blacks and Whites, but what are they doing to help educate the black men, so they can stay out of the white justice system? What are they doing for the Black woman to teach her to bring her up to love herself and do for herself, so she won’t allow herself to be exploited by the black man. Where are the marches and the boycotts Jessie and Al? They are the main people talking about unity and up lifting Black People, one of our own is about to take the position of leading this Country, and all Jessie can do is talk negative about him. So much for Black Unity
