<p>Honestly, what the hell was Jesse Jackson thinking?? I mean seriously, I&#8217;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, &#8220;<em>Barack has been talking down to black people, I wanna cut his nuts off&#8221;</em>. WHAT THE HELL ?????</p>
<p>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&#8217;t even ask how he felt about the man in the first place? Well, word got back to Mr. Untitled, and since it&#8217;s already known Nasir and Jesse aren&#8217;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&#8217;m such an ass), Nas answered</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>&#8220;I think Jesse Jackson, he&#8217;s the biggest player hater.His time is up. All you old n&#8212;as, time is up. We heard your voice, we saw your marching, we heard your sermons. We don&#8217;t wanna hear that sh&#8211; no more. It&#8217;s a new day. It&#8217;s a new voice. I&#8217;m here now. We don&#8217;t need Jesse; I&#8217;m here. I got this. We got Barack, we got David Banners and Young Jeezy’s. We&#8217;re the voice now. It&#8217;s no more Jesse. Sorry. Goodbye. You ain&#8217;t helping nobody in the &#8216;hood. That&#8217;s the bottom line. Goodbye, Jesse. Bye!&#8221;</em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Right on Nas! From this day on, Jesse&#8217;s views on anything worth discussing mean SQUAT to me. What merits that type of dialogue with or about anyone? We&#8217;re on the brink of having our FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT and the best thing you can come up with is &#8220;I want to cut his NUTS OFF&#8221;. You washed up civil rights activist, matter fact, your civil rights pass has been revoked, kick rocks Jesse! Hell, even his son was pissed..</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>“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.”</em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Of course, Jesse issued some lame ass apology&#8230;.</p>
<p><em>“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.”</em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wheeewww, ethered by Nas and his own son! <strong><a href="http://blogs.bet.com/music/soundOff/you-brought-it-on-yourself/"><em>That&#8217;s almost worse than crying on a phone call (sorry, Buck!) </em></a></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Am I overreacting???? Let me know&#8230;..</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Oh, and I definitely don&#8217;t believe that half ass apology&#8230;..TRY AGAIN!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Big shouts to Pamela for the additional quotes! <a href="http://blogs.bet.com/news/pamela/2008/07/10/rev-jesse-jackson-in-the-hot-seat/"><em><strong>Check out what she had to say about the matter right here&#8230;.. </strong></em></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sincerely</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Low</strong> <em>&#8220;So sad, Jesse&#8230;SO SAD!&#8221;</em> <strong>Key</strong></p>
